— Pete Thamel (@PeteThamel) December 1, 2025Pressure on Stoops has mounted over the past couple of weeks after a poor close to the season. The Wildcats lost to Vanderbilt and Louisville in blowout fashion to end the 2025 campaign, causing the program to miss the postseason once again.
However, it was believed that Stoops’ significant buyout would results in him getting another season in 2026. Per Thamel, Stoops is owed more than $37 million according to his contract. That money must be paid out within 60 days of termination.
Stoops is arguably the most successful coach in Kentucky football history, but results have waned in recent years. The Wildcats have a total of 9 SEC wins over the last 4 seasons. They went 2-6 in conference play this year.
Kentucky will presumably commence a national search to replace Stoops in the coming days. The Early Signing Period for high school recruits is set to begin on Wednesday.
Stoops departs Kentucky with a career record of 82-80 after 13 seasons in charge.
