The summer buzz surrounding the Kentucky football camp has almost exclusively been directed at freshman quarterbacks Morgan Newton and Ryan Mossakowski.
Over the past three seasons, the unofficial motto of University of Kentucky football coach Rich Brooks has seemed to be, "We're doing things that haven't been done around here before." In 2006, UK beat Georgia for the first time since 1996. The Cats went to a bowl for the first time since 1999. Kentucky won a bowl for the first time since 1984.
When writing about thereunion last weekend of Paul Bryant's former players at Kentucky, it hit me that, starting with the Bear, UK has had 10 football coaches since 1946. Seemed liked the perfect opportunity for a Top 10 list. But if the Bear is the certain No. 1, who's No. 2? And, for a program that has struggled so over the years, who deserves the bottom of the list?
