Mark Stoops

He has been a college football coach since 2003

Mark Stoops, born on July 9, 1967, is a highly respected figure in American college football, both as a coach and a former player. He has been the head football coach at the University of Kentucky since the 2013 season, and under his leadership, the Wildcats have experienced a significant resurgence. Stoops has built a reputation for his defensive expertise, having previously served as a defensive coordinator at several prominent programs, including Florida State and Arizona. His ability to develop talent and instill a winning culture has made him one of the most successful coaches in the Southeastern Conference (SEC).

Stoops' tenure at Kentucky has been marked by several historic achievements. In 2018, he led the Wildcats to a 10-win season, their first since 1977, and a victory in the Citrus Bowl over Penn State. That season also saw Kentucky finish ranked in the AP Top 25 for the first time in decades. Stoops has consistently improved the program, guiding the Wildcats to multiple bowl appearances and earning respect across the college football landscape. His commitment to building a strong defense and a balanced offensive attack has been key to Kentucky's success under his leadership.

One of Stoops' most notable accomplishments is becoming the all-time winningest head coach in Kentucky football history. He surpassed the previous record in 2021, further solidifying his legacy within the program. Stoops has also become the longest-tenured head coach in the SEC, a testament to his consistency and the trust the university has placed in him. His ability to recruit top talent and develop players for the NFL has been a cornerstone of his success, with several of his former players going on to have successful professional careers.

Stoops' impact on the Kentucky football program extends beyond wins and losses. He has helped elevate the program's national profile and has been instrumental in improving facilities and resources for the team. His leadership has brought stability and long-term success to a program that had struggled for consistency in the past. Stoops' dedication to his players, both on and off the field, has earned him widespread respect from his peers and the broader college football community.
