When Mark Stoops passed Bear Bryant to become Kentucky’s all-time winningest coach, it raised a debate around the fan base: Is it time to build a statue?
Not just the crazies, the Herald-Leader’s John Clay put his support behind a Mark Stoops statue with a “build it now” column after Kentucky beat Florida for the second year in a row and the third time in five years.
“Don’t wait. Strike while the iron is hot,” he wrote.
On the other side of the conversation, the hey-wait-a-minutes mostly agree a statue should be erected when Stoops’ work is done, but that now is too early to break out the chisels.
