Total wins and losses only tell part of the story, and a deeper look makes the Mark Stoops Era look even worse.
In light of the recent loss at Florida, inevitable comparisons have been made to the records of Mark Stoops, Joker Phillips, and Rich Brooks. In fact, these comparisons go back at least as early as May when the Lexington-Herald’s Mark Story devoted a column to the topic. From that column:
Through three years (2013-15), Stoops has not won much, 12-24 (4-20 SEC). Through three years (2003-05), Brooks won even less, 9-25 (4-20 SEC).
