Stoops on Towles

LEXINGTON, Ky. (WTVQ) – Mark Stoops says Drew Barker will have to compete with Reese Phillips for the “keys to car.”

And do it with a fresh slate when as a new offensive coordinator takes over in Lexington.

That’s because Patrick Towles hit the road for Boston College and Shannon Dawson was fired.

How did coach Stoops take the news that the Kentucky boy wanted to part ways with the flagship institution for greener pastures?

Was there any animosity between the two and was it a mutual parting of ways?

Hear from Stoops on Patty Ice’s decision in the video.
