Friday Headlines: Mark Stoops Becoming Hot Commodity Edition

What a ride it’s been and has continued to be for Big Blue Nation and their football team. Kentucky football head coach Mark Stoops came in with little-to-no expectation of being great. Yet Stoops has surpassed any and all expectations over the last seven years.

Stoops has taken Kentucky to five bowl games and is on his way to a sixth later this year. He’s put together an exceptional recruiting staff and together they’ve found several “diamonds in the rough” to develop into stars. He’s on pace to win double-digit games for the second time in four years with a Kentucky program that had only eclipsed eight games once in the last century.
