Kentucky Wildcats
SEC program. Will Stein new HC. Hired Jay Bateman as DC. Ty's "bowl-viable" tier in his early SEC working list. Cole's framing: Mark Stoops should be the blueprint for "give him one more year" patience — Stoops was nearly fired in year two/three, then righted the ship and delivered seasons only Bear Bryant had matched at the program.
Current Show Posture
As of 2026-09-20:
Kentucky’s convincing win over Texas A&M established it as more than a speculative early-season riser. The hosts credit the Wildcats for making the Aggies look ordinary and now want to see the same physical level against the next SEC challenge.
