Sometimes I get sucked down a stats rabbit hole. Today that happened… Coming into this year, Stoops had won 46 regular season games is 8+ seasons. 38 if you take away FCS teams. Just 27 wins over “Power 5” teams. Only 11 wins over FBS teams who finished with a winning record (5 came in 2018). Only 6 wins over SEC teams that finished with a winning record. Even the cream puffs they play are usually terrible. Doesn’t look like those numbers are going to improve much after this year either. At the end of the day, he is two games over .500. No coach has benefited from easy scheduling more. Yet, some will have you believe he is some great coach. He’s done fine there, but the numbers don’t lie. It’s smoke and mirrors.
