Some tweets of note on the Mark Stoops hire at Kentucky:
Mark Stoops named new coach at Kentucky. In terms of family tree, Wildcats hoping he’s more Bob than Mike as a head coach.

Sounds like #FSU players gave Mark Stoops overwhelming support when they learned he accepted job at #Kentucky. Will have more on that later — Coley Harvey (@os_coleyharvey) November 27, 2012
Good for Mark Stoops to take the Kentucky job. I think it’s a big step up but he’s had some good mentors and knows defense very well. — Bryan Fischer (@BryanDFischer) November 27, 2012
We just talked to Lamarcus Joyner, who said the players are happy for Mark Stoops and want to send him out on a good note. — Ira Schoffel/TDO.com (@IraSchoffel) November 27, 2012
Most impressive part of @ukfootball hiring of Mark Stoops is that @ukmitchbarnhart got it done with 3 other SEC jobs open. — Chip Robinson (@ChipRobinson74) November 27, 2012
