The Kentucky Wildcats fired head football coach Mark Stoops on Sunday, according to multiple reports.

The Wildcats ended the regular season with a 41-0 loss to the Louisville Cardinals. Stoops said after the game he had no intention of stepping down as head coach.

“Like, I’m going to walk away? Are you kidding me? … Zero percent chance I walk,” he said, via ESPN.

“I’m going to be here as far as I’m concerned. Now I can’t control what decision (is going) to be made. If you’re asking me, I said zero. Zero means zero.”

It’s the second straight time Kentucky missed out on a bowl game. The Wildcats were 4-8 in 2024 and finished 5-7 in 2025. They lost a big game against Vanderbilt prior to the Louisville defeat.
