“I think I’m more comfortable.”

LEXINGTON, Ky. (WTVQ) – Being a head coach isn’t easy.

That’s why the salaries are what they are.

There’s stress; mostly applied by the guy at the top himself.  He knows the expectation level, and knows what it will take to stay at the helm.

It’s year five for Mark Stoops in Lexington.

Is this the most stable he feels the program has ever been?

With the fundraising and various job functions outside of X’s and O’s now down, plus the new defense in place on the field, it just may be.

Hear from Stoops in the video.
