Kentucky football head coach Mark Stoops has not even coached his first game at Kentucky and some writers have in ranked as the worst coach in the SEC.
Saturdaydownsouth.com has come out with its rankings of the head coaches in the Southeastern Conference and Mark Stoops is ranked #14.
Now I’m sure he is ranked this low because he is a first year head coach, but if you look at what he has done in the short time he has been on the job you could have an argument that he should be ranked higher than this.
