LSU dumps Brian Kelly, but Kentucky sticks with struggling Mark Stoops

Another day, another SEC coaching change sends ripples across the college football landscape, and Mitch Barnhart keeps his head buried in the sand hoping Mark Stoops can come out with a win. He wants so desperately to jump around and say, "See guys, SEEEEEE, Mark is really good." But Stoops is not giving him any ammo this year. It is only getting worse.

LSU announced Sunday it is parting ways with head coach Brian Kelly, negotiating a reported $54 million buyout. This move comes despite Kelly compiling a respectable 34-14 record over roughly 3 and a half seasons, including two 10-win campaigns and three straight bowl victories.
