I'll freely admit that I have never been a fan of his from the day he was hired, but honestly is there a more disorganized head coach in the BCS conferences then him?

I mean how do you leave WR's uncovered out of time outs? It's bad enough to do it once, but twice IN THE SAME GAME!!

I've always said teams take on identities of there head coach. That is why you a team get a penalty and then take back to back sacks in the first half to take away an almost guaranteed chip shot FG and it leads to a 48 yard miss. That is why you see continual bad snaps from the center. It is why you see a penalty on a run play to set up the winning FG and push you out of range.

It's all a reflection of your head coach, in my opinion.

No doubt several correctable mistakes were made tonight!

I live with the same thing in the NFL since I'm a life long Cowboys fan. Dallas hasn't had a "real" Head Coach since Jimmy Johnson was fired by the ego maniac Jerry Jones.

The biggest reason the Patriots have been so good for so long is because just like his good friend Jimmy Johnson, Bill Belicheck, does not tolerate mistakes. If you can't play the way he ask and mistake free, he has no use for you. That is called coaching and the players no they are accountable for it.

He is obviously a much better recruiter than he is bench coach. I thought Ky had the better team and would have easily won the game had they not quit attacking in the 4th quarter and made those two dumb defensive mistakes by leaving the receiver uncovered right after time outs, not once, but twice. Very poor coaching.

I'm no coach, but I was a tad bit puzzled/shocked when we decided to run another play after we got the first down in FG range. I was thinking if we converted on 4th down that we'd go ahead and kick the FG.

I agree with Trey Ball, he is the Marvin Lewis of college football. Some good defensive coordinators doesn't necessarily mean they will be great coaches. They both look disorganized and sometimes confused. It's a shame because most if not all other things look good. A disorganized coach can cost a lot of games.

You have to go back "11" head coaches to find a Kentucky head coach with a winning career record coaching the Cats.

I do not fully understand the sideline coaching organization in football. However, it seems that maybe the defensive coach would be the person to make the defensive adjustments and alignments and not the head coach. There is too much happening in a football game for one person to keep the offense and defense completely organized

He's an idiot because he goes into let's play not to lose with way to much time on the clock.

ABSOLUTELY! I can see it happen up close. At the end of the half he comes out rushing 3 or 4 men but they never seem to be able to beat their man and get thru to the QB. We should be able to cover their receivers but they seem to make the short passes against us to move down the field. Our luck in getting the right guys for the defensive line is shown by Matt Elam. What a waste. We make the QBs look like a star because he has so much time to run around until one of his receivers gets loose. I hope we can win another 4 games or Stoops is really going to look like an idiot.

His game management skills are non-existent. He makes very poor decisions when the game is on the line. If he and his staff could coach half as good as they can recruit we'd challenge for the east crown. Unfortunately, that ain't happening.
