There were a lot of calls for Kentucky to fire Mark Stoops during the 2015 season after a 4-0 start turned into a 5-7 season. So far this year Kentucky has struggled to put away Southern Miss and Eastern Kentucky, South Carolina is clearly not a good team, and poor coaching cost Kentucky the game against Florida last night.

His buyout apparently drops to $6.6 Million on December 2, 2017. Given how weak the SEC East is this year, I think anything less than 2nd in the SEC East (Georgia) is underachieving. I really think Kentucky should pull the trigger if this winds up being another 7-5 or worse campaign. I'd even be comfortable making a change at 8-4 if there's another loss like the one last night. This is a team that should go at least 10-2 (losses to Georgia and maybe Louisville) given how far down the SEC East is this year.
