“You think I’m going to walk away? You kidding me? Zero percent chance I walk away. I’m gonna be here as far as I’m concerned,” Stoops said, via KSR’s Nick Roush. He added that “Zero means zero. Zero percent chance I walk.”

Absolutely not. He will not walk away.

He says he's not leaving but has he looked at his rep as a head coach if he stays at UK and continues to put out teams like the last two years. Sounds like $$$ is overiding his senses of a future job at nothing higher than a mid major. After a couple more years like the last two, who would have him? Will the othr players besides Boley want to remain here and keep losing? If they continue like this will the NIL $$$ still be there? Sure he's gonna reap millions by remaining here and satisfying no one but himself but there will be a point when he doesn't have all thos millions remaining and someone will help him pack his bags off to who knows where. The future is everything but does it trump all those $$$? I guess the fans are the ones who suffer the most.

Pete Thammell from ESPN is reporting that UK will fire Stoops Monday morning. Hopefully he'll find a job in the Big whatever they are, because that's the way he coaches.

Hooray for UK leadership! $$$$ aren't everything when you have boosters like UK has. Let's hope we get a good one who can attract great players and go to some better bowl games.
