This proves Barnhart and UK are serious about building a football program at Kentucky.

WVU has been winning a lot more than UK, but Kentucky is a cash cow, because of its SEC affiliation and can afford to pay a higher salary. Also, I doubt you get an up an coming OC, if you don't at least match what the last guy was making. [ 12-19-2014, 05:56 PM: Message edited by: boomdaddy ]

It's going to be interesting to see how much this hire helps.

To win in the SEC on a continual basis you have to have players to compete and up until this point we have not recruited those players. I think we are recruiting better but still not up to the caliber needed and until we do it's going to be the same old same old.

We have to have the skilled players to compete! I don't care if Nick Saban himself was coaching this team if he doesn't have the talent!

Until we get SEC conference players we will continue to be at the bottom of the conference.
