When the Wildcats took on Iowa in the TransPerfect Music City Bowl in December of 2022, it extended a school-record streak of seven-consecutive bowl games, all under Stoops. Kentucky reached the postseason by posting a 7-5 record, the sixth-consecutive season (not including the Covid-shortened 2020 season) that UK has won at least seven games. Stoops has personal milestones as well as he enters his 11th season at Kentucky, longest term of any coach in school history. The Wildcats’ victory at Florida in 2022 was Stoops’ 61st win, breaking the school record of 60 held by Paul “Bear” Bryant. Called “the best program builder in all of college football” a year ago by ESPN analyst Tom Luginbill, Stoops’ success hasn’t come easily. into the 2016 season his record was 12- 26, but the program took off from there and the coach has engineered a 54-33 (.621) mark since. In addition to this season’s achievements, a partial accounting of Stoops’ exploits fea- tures: n Four straight bowl wins – the Citrus Bowl on Jan. 1, 2022, the 2020 Gator Bowl, the 2019 Belk Bowl and the Citrus Bowl on Jan. 1, 2019 – first time in school history that UK won four straight bowls n A school-record 20-game win streak against non-conference competition, cur- rently the longest active streak in the nation (2018-present) n First win at Tennessee since 1984 (2019) n First New Year’s Day Bowl win since 1951 (2018 season) n First 10-win season since 1977 (2018) n First SEC Coach of the Year since 1983 (2018) n Inheriting a program that was 2-10 the year before he arrived, Stoops’ rebuilding efforts took time. Two games First final poll ranking since 1984 (2018) n First bowl win since 2008 (2018) n First win vs. Florida since 1986 (2018) n First bowl appearance since 2010 (2016) Stoops’ success Several of Stoops’ play- ers have also won All-America accolades, along with honors such as the Bronko Na- gurski Award, Chuck Bednarik Award, Paul Hornung Award, Ronnie Lott Trophy, Ray Guy Award, Danny Wuerffel Trophy, Jason Witten Man of the Year, Pop Warner Award, Academic All-America and National Good Works Team. Off the field, Stoops has been active in fundraising and events for the UK Children’s Hospital, and he was named Honorary Coach of the 2022 National Good Works Team. Stoops came to Kentucky from Florida State, where he was defensive coordina- tor from 2010-12, inheriting a unit ranked 108th in the nation and turning it into one of the nation’s best. Previous collegiate coach- ing stops include Arizona; Miami (Fla.), where he helped win a national champi- onship; Houston, Wyoming, South Florida, and his alma mater, Iowa, where he began BELIEVE IN MARKEY See why at ukhealthcare.com/cancer Nationally recognized for our care, we offer more resources, more expertise and more options for Kentuckians facing a cancer diagnosis.
