Would Mark Stoops would have been fired if UK lost to Mississippi State in 2016?

The 2016 season was a wild one for Kentucky football.

The Wildcats got outscored 27-0 in the second half of Week 1 to lose to Southern Miss, got blown out at Florida, then turned around and scored an absurd 62 points against New Mexico State.

Then they managed to get four SEC wins, and somehow, some way, they beat the Louisville Cardinals to win the Governor’s Cup. They also went bowling for the first time under Mark Stoops, which is almost an afterthought when you consider all the other insanity.

It was Mark Stoops’ most successful year at Kentucky, no doubt.
