If Newton is the best we can field in the way of a quarterback we are in trouble. I agree this is one of the worst showings for a quarterback I’ve seen. It may well have been a much different outcome had the receivers at least had a chance at a ball that was catchable. Most throws were behind, over their heads or just didn’t see the open man. And we did have some wide open receivers and just awful pass attempts. I would like to see what we could have done had Fiddler been given a chance.

I completely agree with Ashley. We must look at a big time coach. The three losses that could have been wins, (TN, SC, MS), all were lost due to coaching. If Joker is the guy, he will only continue to low level bowl streak we seem to be destined to go to every year.

Wow…Football is a game that is played from end zone to end zone…not side line to side line…if we can not throw the ball down the field then we might as well skip the bowl…we will not win

[...] And then they basically take Randall out of the mix and turn the game over TO A FRESHMAN!!! And then we collapse. Honestly, I believe that our staff mistakenly believed that the game was tied because we looked like we were playing to kick a FG. We didn’t even look like we wanted to win. Hire a big time Calipari kind of coach for our football team. The fans deserve much better! 1 Kentucky Vs Tennessee Football – Wirro Trackback on November 29, 2009 at 12:45 am .. read more [...]

I totally agree with you Ashley! We need to re-think this coach in-waiting!

We are stuck in a bad marriage with Joker for as far as the eye can see. Why can’t we bring in a big time coach and beat Tennessee? Are we trying to save money for basketball shorts?
This coaching staff is responsible for three losses this year. Joker sucks at calling plays, and Brooks needsto over rule him when he can not get the easy ones right.
Hire a big time Calipari kind of coach for our football team. The fans deserve much better!

For the life of me, I don’t understand why Newton carried on 3rd down in the last minute of the game – WHY NOT COBB?? – why not play TO WIN, rather than settle for OT – but, the bottom line is our “O” had ZERO passing game all night (Newton was pretty bad throwing tonight) and there was ZERO “O” in the 2nd half and OT for the Cats – however, we’ll never know if we would have won in regulation, because our coaching staff didn’t put the ball in the hands of our BEST player on that 3rd down play! too much Newton and not enough Cobb – I don’t understand it!

Sorry about the expletive-filled rant, John. Feel free to delete it.

Kentucly is a class act…
Our coaches and players did their best but came up short. They and we have nothing to hang our heads down about. For those of us that have played and enjoy and understand the game know the heartbreak but also recognize how far we have come…This season has been historic for all the right reasons. Thanks Kats and Coach and staff
