This fall will be Nick Saban's 16th directing the Crimson Tide. He's the dean of SEC football coaches. Who's second on the list? That would be Mark Stoops, who arrived at Kentucky in 2013 and is preparing to enter his 10th year at the helm.
Will 2022 be "the" year? You know, the year where the Wildcats take that elusive next step? The goal involves "the ATL" as UK's players have referred to it during spring practice. That's the SEC Championship Game in Atlanta. To do that, of course, Kentucky would have to win the SEC East.
That's a tough nut to crack. This is the SEC we're talking about, where football just means more. Since the conference first expanded in 1992, Kentucky is one of four schools that has yet to play for the conference championship.
