Kentucky football coach Mark Stoops had a less-than-ideal 2024 season with the Wildcats.
The squad’s 4-8 overall record and 1-7 SEC mark were the worst under Stoops since going 2-10 overall (0-8 SEC) in his head coaching debut in 2013. UK also missed a bowl game for the first time in eight years. To make matters worse, the Wildcats had to vacate their 10-win 2021 season.
The season ended on a sour note with Kentucky’s Governor’s Cup winning streak coming to an end at five games. Stoops is expected to be back for his 13th season with Kentucky, making him the longest-active tenured coach in the SEC.
