THAT THIS TEAM HAD QUIT, AND WATCHING THEM TACKLE TODAY THEY ARE JUST PLAYING OUT THE SEASON, IMO CHANGES NEED TO BE MADE, DEFENSIVE CORDINATOR, OFFENSIVE CORDINATOR, SPECIAL TEAMS COACHES, SOMETHING HAPPENED IN THE LOCKER ROOM, I THINK JO JO KEMP IS A CANCER, AND I GOT MY DOUBTS ABOUT STOOPS AS A HEAD COACH. JMO

I think it is still a matter of talent and depth. I could see sending the special teams coach packing, but the O-coordinator and d-coordinator both showed that their squads can perform well, just not consistently so. Personally, I wouldn't even THINK about replacing Stoops. He has brought hope to a zombie-like program.

I think Brown is the real deal -- once he gets all the pieces and depth he needs. The Air Raid works at other schools, and at one time it worked at Kentucky.

Our defense was much improved this year, and I like the aggressive, attacking style we have. I see no need to change the defensive coordinator... just need to keep adding 4- and 5-star recruits.

Has this team given up? Maybe. I do think that there is some locker room cancer, but I am not sure if it is isolated to just Kemp. Let the coaches figure that out and send the bad ones packing, and bring in some good ones in their place. Five wins is waaay more than almost anybody expected from us this year, and two SEC victories was sweet indeed. Give Stoops time... this is his second year!

TT, right on we still aren't there with the quality and depth of our players. We need to be 2 and 3 deep at every position and we aren't even close to that.

I think it's a serious lack of SEC talent except for a few players on both sides of the ball. Two of the most important positions (O line on offense and linebackers on defense) are tremendously lacking SEC skill. I'm not for getting rid of anyone (Special teams coach perhaps) but we need to keep upgrading our talent and Stoops and his staff are doing that.

I would like to see a little more versatility out of the offense. They were almost too predictable. I completely understand the difference in talent between the Cats and the upper SEC schools, but they didn't have a chance running the kind of offense they were running.

I can almost predict what they are going to do next. Kind of like, when we set up in eh Wildcat, what are we going to do?

I think we better wait as if the rest helps get some of our players back on the field we just might play better than many are thinking.

I sure hope so CMD. Louisville is suddenly building some confidence though!

I think the rest with a week off is really going to help.
