Sources: Kentucky is expected fire coach Mark Stoops, with the process set to formally play out tomorrow.— Pete Thamel (@PeteThamel) December 1, 2025
Kind of surprising. Learned last night that he is fully guaranteed no offset, assuming that's true. I think they're eating like $30M
edit: r/CFB account says $38M paid within 60 days which is kind of what I remember reading last night from someone else. Bonkers money that quickly too.
Stoops was never going to walk away on his own, but when Kentucky approached him about a separation, he said he would be willing to negotiate an agreement allowing UK to spread out payments over a number of years instead of paying $38 million buyout within 60 days of his firing. https://t.co/VvxPDDLTrp— Chris Low (@clowfb) December 1, 2025
I promise not to coach Michigan State in football for like, a mil and a half.
Or Kentucky as word is out they will fire Stoops
Kentucky expected to fire Stoops. This could be the answer on where Mullen ends up.
Sure, but overall sentiment I get is that Gator fans were hoping for a bigger splash or at least someone with a very different resume from their outgoing coach.
They didn't get that.
Whether he works out or not, it would be very difficult to find two coaches with backgrounds and resumes that are more similar than theirs.
If you can, I'd be legitimately floored.
I'll wait here...
And the point about NIL is more or less moot, because it didn't start for anyone before 2021 and it wasn't until 2021 that Transfers without sitting out a year were allowed. The one-time exception rule went effective in April '21. So you're going to be critical of Napier for not using the portal the one year ( really months) it was available while he was at Louisiana? Not a fair comparison at all.
Counter:
- Total offense is a stupid metric. It's not adjusted, for field position, number of plays, opponent, or anything. It does nothing to tell you how 'good' an offense is. That's just a rant from me.
- Napier was fired from Clemson, and has arguably never been a successful coordinator. Sumrall has never been fired.
- The NIL/Portal piece matters. Napier was hired in 2022. ULL had no semblance of NIL. From what I can tell, Napier had literally never used the portal prior to arriving at Florida. Sumrall, on the other hand, is one of the portal pioneers at the G5 level, taking a bunch of players with him from Troy to Tulane.
That doesn't mean that Sumrall is going to work at UF. He may fail just like every coach since Urban. I just think it's lazy to say that this is the same hire as Billy. It's not.

# | Hokies Wrestling: Heavyweight Maximus Konopka commits to Hokies Wrestling at 215 in HS so would think getting into college training, likely stays Heavyweight but may also just depend on who else Robie has in the stable
Whoever is behind that line is going to have massive humans trying to block for them. Goodness
Gonna have to reteach everyone the rules. yeesh
Wonder what weight he is projected at for college. I've heard people say 197 and I've heard people say he will be a heavyweight
That is large

# | Hokies Wrestling: Class of 2026 and 2027 recruits tournament results There's a thread for this one

Tyrell Simpson got measured this weekend. He is now 6'8 350👀
I think it's doubtful. He is a big David Taylor guy.
Maximus Konopka (class of 2027. The number 4 wrestler in the country at 215 pounds and the 23rd overall recruit official committed to Virginia Tech. Hokies beat out NC state and Oklahoma state for him.
That would be amazing if we could flip him. Just amazing how much talent there is at Bishop McCort high school.

# | Hokies Wrestling: Class of 2026 and 2027 recruits tournament results I wouldn't be surprised but haven't seen anything definite
Welcome back dude and primus sucks
Tyrell Simpson reaffirmed his commitment as well

Do you think Robie is trying to push to flip Jax Forrest? He is Bo's high school teammate and very highly ranked.

I tend to agree...I watched Louisiana football quite a bit in 2021 as Napier was one of the guys I had hoped VT would pursue, but I was left very underwhelmed by their Offensive system overall. I wasn't broken up when VT wasn't really in the running for him.
In Gainesville, he was largely a master of using lots and lots of words to say pretty much nothing of consequence.
I don't think Sumrall is the same coach or will necessarily have the same fate as Napier, but when you look at their similarities, I do understand some of the trepidation for Gator Fans.
It would be kind of like if VT would have hired Jim Knowles this year---older coach with experience almost entirely as a coordinator/position coach who really hasn't been on the radar for H.C. jobs---I imagine VT fans would be similarly in upheaval over the close comparison to Pry.
Maybe we'll get to see some "Eff it, he's down there somewhere" tosses
