LEXINGTON, Ky. — When Mark Stoops was asked Monday if he knew what Tennessee football coach Butch Jones is going through, I thought of a line by Bubbles from "The Wire."
"Thin line between heaven and here."
(If you haven't watched The Wire, you should. Three times, like I have).
For college football coaches, the margin between inking contract extensions and updating the resume in search of a new gig is tiny.
Many Kentucky fans, expressing anger, disappointment and sadness on social media, were ready for a coaching change when Stoops started last season 0-2.
