Mark Stoops

FILE - In this Sept. 5, 2015, file photo, Kentucky coach Mark Stoops watches his team from the sideline during an NCAA college football game against Louisiana-Lafayette in Lexington, Ky. Stoops made an early splash in recruiting and went from two victories in year one in Lexington to five in year two. Then another second-half swoon last year made it three straight bowl-less seasons for the Wildcats. Four in a row is not acceptable in the SEC, even for a program with relatively modest expectations.
