6. Mark Stoops – Kentucky

Record at School

19-30

Ranking Justification

Kenutcky basketball is legendary. Kentucky football, not so much. The younger brother of current Oklahoma head coach Bob Stoops, Mark took over a Kentucky that went winless in conference play in his first season. Since then the Wildcats are 19-21 in the SEC and look to be a program on the rise.

The expectations for Kentucky might not be as high as other programs in the conference, but he fielded a competitive team last year. A team that knocked off current Heisman trophy winner Lamar Jackson. Kentucky isn’t a pushover anymore, and Stoops deserves all the credit.

Worst Loss

Stoops’ third game at Kentucky.

Best Win

Down goes the Heisman trophy winner. Kentucky did that.
