Just like Rich Brooks did back in the 2000s, Mark Stoops has brought Kentucky Football out of the SEC cellar and made it a nationally-respected program again.
And just like Brooks, it didn’t come easy, and at several points, many wondered if a new coach needed to be brought it. But just when things got bad enough to the point of seemingly no return, Stoops pulled off a 2006-like resurrection and shocked everyone be getting UK to a bowl game this past season.
Will that prove to be the first step towards a long, successful tenure in Lexington for Stoops, or will it be nothing more than a flash in the pan?
