Mark Stoops is only in his second season as Kentucky’s head coach and he is getting national attention for the job he is doing.
Saturday Down South has listed Stoops as one of the hottest coaches in the SEC East. Stoops has been great on the recruiting trail and has UK off to a 2-0 start this season.
Here is an excerpt.
HOT
Head coach Mark Stoops and the rest of Kentucky’s coaching staff. Stoops is way ahead of schedule in rebuilding the Kentucky program, especially if his team reaches a bowl game this year for the first time since 2010. The Cats scored 59 points in their season opener and held last week’s opponent, Ohio, to just three points on the scoreboard. Not only is Stoops recruiting a new level of talent to Lexington, he’s coaching those players to make an impact right away at the college level. UK plays a lot of first-time starters, many of whom are freshmen or sophomores, but looks like an athletic, experienced group. What Stoops has been able to do at a basketball-first school in a football-first conference in less than two full seasons is beyond impressive. While some coaches’ seats may be hot right now, it’s Stoops’ recruiting and coaching that are on fire in the SEC East.
