On the morning of Kentucky’s game against UT Martin in Lexington, a report came out saying Mark Stoops met with officials from Florida State in Cincinnati last week. According to 247 Sports, the interview went well; however, Stoops does not consider himself a candidate for the job. “We can take Mark Stoops off our coaching hot boards,” the Florida State site wrote.
After the game against UT Martin, Stoops did not deny the meeting happened, but said Kentucky is where he wants to be.
“I’m not going to get into specifics, but, Florida State, I had a great experience there,” Stoops said, when asked about the reported meeting in Cincinnati.
