Very good news. Now, both of the major program coaches are essentially "coaches for life".

At least this will quell the now annual rumors about another school hiring Stoops. It is enough to hear the constant babble about the NBA wanting Cal back.

Stoops has earned this. He may still leave one day, but he has built this program from the rubble into an SEC contender.

Keeping his coaching staff together is one of Stoops biggest challenges! When things are going good, that's when the BIG BOYS start knocking on the door looking to recruit your coordinators away!

That is good news. A UK coach will never know as much as us Cats Domain members but until they hire one of us, he’ll do.

I'm with Handy on this one. I'll take my contract in 10's and 20's! If it's big enough I'll buy a wheel barrow!

Good for him he deserves another season!

Stoops has turned our program into one that is recognizable by the rest of the country on Saturday's now!

The change is evident. Now I am disappointed when we lose to Tennessee or Georgia, and fully expect to beat everybody else.

THAT is a brand new place to be as a UK football fan!

Let's hope we can continue to sign talented recruits, One good season or two and our recruiting should continue improving right along with our good play.
