It’s a good thing the college football season is still several months away, because it does not sound like Kentucky Wildcats head coach Mark Stoops is very happy with this team at the moment.
During a press conference this week, Mark Stoops told reporters that he was “a little pissed,” describing his team as “lackluster” the past few days.
“I don’t have a lot to say today. I’m a little frustrated, a little disappointed, a little pissed, to be totally honest with you,” Stoops said during his press conference, according to On3. “Just been lackluster the last couple days.”
Stoops previously praised the Kentucky football program on Friday following the team’s Pro Day workout. But he called the players on the current team “entitled,” saying “hey just think they’re going to roll out of bed and be good.”
“I visited with you yesterday, yes, it was a great day for Kentucky football. I loved the pro day, proud of those guys and love each and every one of them that trained yesterday and giving a shot in the NFL. That was fantastic,” Stoops said. “The guys we’ve got right now, I don’t know if they just think they’re going to roll out of bed and be good or whatever. It’s not the same. We need to get back and play the way our brand was made, and that was by being tough and being physical and playing physical on both sides of the line of scrimmage. Being able to run the ball. Just grateful for what we have.
“I just feel like we have a bunch of guys who are entitled and don’t work extremely hard and think it’s going to happen or are waiting for the next guy to make it happen. I’m not real pleased.”
