Kentucky insider Matt Jones was a guest on McElroy and Cubelic in the Morning on Wednesday, and the Kentucky Sports Radio host told college football analysts Greg McElroy and Cole Cubelic that he believes everything is at stake for Wildcats head coach Mark Stoops this Saturday night at Auburn.
The 7:30 p.m. ET kickoff on SEC Network pits an Auburn team that just won its first SEC game last week at Arkansas against a Kentucky team that has yet to win an SEC game yet in 2025. And that, Jones maintains, is the heart of what’s facing Stoops as he takes a 2-5 team into the Plains that is also 0-5 in conference play.
While Jones speculated that Auburn head coach Hugh Freeze could lose his job if the Tigers lose, he shared what the equally embattled Stoops is facing in the Week 10 primetime showdown.
“I think Kentucky has a chance. It’s sort of a loser leaves town coaching matchup,” Jones said. “Hugh Freeze can’t survive a loss to Kentucky. I’m fairly certain that Mark Stoops will not be the coach at Kentucky if he loses. So, there’s a lot at stake on Saturday. I think Kentucky has a decent chance.”
Jones also said he believes Kentucky was the victim of bad breaks in its past 2 losses to Texas and Tennessee, but he also believes that Stoops is down to his final chance in Lexington, and it’ll come on the road Saturday at Jordan-Hare Stadium.
Here is the full clip of Jones talking about Kentucky and the Stoops saga:
