While the fan base is demanding accountability for the program's decline, the athletic director is talking about waiting "two or three more years."
It’s one thing for a program to struggle. It’s another for its leadership to seem completely oblivious to the frustration boiling over in the fan base. Kentucky Athletic Director Mitch Barnhart’s recent comments defending the state of the football program are not just tone-deaf; they are utterly delusional.
While fans are pointing to nine straight home losses to Power Five opponents and a 5-9 record in the last 14 games, Barnhart is asking for more patience.
