I was reading on the Wildcat's board that he's gonna coach them in their bowl. Honestly, I wouldn't have thought twice about watching the Wildcat's bowl game but you can bet I am now. I think it speaks volumes that HCJS wants to finish out and not leave them hanging. I also read in another thread that he was there to meet a couple of his incoming recruits. That's another good character point.

That's the Jon we met and learned to know back in the HCNB days. Would not expect anything less.
Just don't know where he gets all that energy...

Let's face it, this Pat Summerall guy is in loan to us only 4 years...and that ok. It means we are winning at a very high level.

Sumrall’s energy reminds me or Teeger from Winnie The Pooh. Boundless enthusiasm and energy. I don’t need to mention who reminds me of Eeyore.

Hey may wait for Stoops to leave UK. We could have him a while.

Ok I’ll say it, is there any concerns that Troy duties may be neglected by HCJS coaching UK in their bowl? I realize I’m being selfish, but:

I realize I’m being selfish, but: I am sure he can walk and chew gum at the same time - or Ho hope he can. Besides, they will talk about him on TV at some point during their game against the Iowa. Early signing period begins in a week so we will see.

I too thought this is quite a bit to chew. New staff, early signing period and finishing out coaching. HOWEVER, this dude does seem to have no shortage of energy or at least caffeine !!! If anyone could do it I am thinking he might.

If anyone could do it I am thinking he might. To me it shows how much he cares about the guys at UK. He’s probably will get 0 sleep leading up to the game and I’m sure he won’t be at every practice and what not but he wants to finish what they started. Relationships are important to him.

If CJS commits to do it, he will find a way and do well. Finish there is important to Jon. So be it.

Also, for me, this speaks to integrity and honoring his word and commitment. Isn’t that what we want? (Rhetorical question) I know he is a shining light that has blinded most all of us.

Let’s assume that 3 to 4 years from now JS is one of the hottest coaches in the group of five and returns to Kentucky as HC or to another P 5! I can only think that he would stay to coach a bowl game with Troy! This is the commitment and character that he is displaying now! I also think that he is going to set up a succession plan for when he leaves as to not have to make us start over and go through something like the last 3 years! Thoughts?

If it works, perfect! A potential replacement for Stoops down the line if he starts loosing too much / retires Sumrall is a UK guy who would be excited to return to his alma mater. We then begin the process of bringing guys up the way App State has done or UK sends us another coach and the process repeats itself haha.

UK fans love Coach Sumrall. Most expect him to kill it at Troy and be Stoops eventual successor. Some rumors here that a couple UK players in the portal may come with him. Travis Tisdale a RB from Georgia and K.D. McDaniel an OLB also from Georgia.

If any of the UK fans are passing through Troy on a Gameday you have an open invitation to our tailgate.

Hearing Devonte Ross is a possibility to sign as well. He was a 3 star WR from GA who signed with UK last year but had some qualifying issues. Had really impressive film in HS.
