So Hal Mumme and Guy Morris had UK going in the right Direction? Or did you mean Bear Bryant and Fran Curci when you said the last few coaches had the program going in the right direction. As that is the last time I can remember Uk going in the right direction and having winning records in the SEC. In 1984 UK won 9 games since then I bet you can count on 1 hand the number of 8 win football seasons UK has had.

You really have no clue do you!

Mumee comes in to a severely sanctioned team and leads them to a 7-5 record, gets buried due to recruiting numbers yet starts to bring guys back into the program. He proved he could coach simply because he had no talent at all, but still made all of his losses respectable!

As for Brooks, hell yes, this team was headed in the right direction:

Rich Brooks Era The team's next head coach was Rich Brooks, who led the team out of the probationary years to an 8–5 regular season record in 2006, including a memorable upset over the defending SEC champion Georgia, snapping a nine-game losing streak to the Bulldogs. Brooks also led the football team to its first bowl game since 1999 and its first bowl game victory since 1984, as Kentucky defeated the Clemson University Tigers 28–20 in the Music City Bowl. [1] The Wildcats were ranked 8th in the nation before a loss to South Carolina on October 4. After the loss to South Carolina, Kentucky bounced back on October 13 to defeat #1 LSU in a historic triple overtime game.

Brooks took Kentucky to four consecutive bowl games, winning the first three. The 2007 Kentucky Wildcats football defeated the Florida State Seminoles 35–28 in the 2007 Music City Bowl in Nashville, Tennessee, on December 31, 2007. Quarterback Andre' Woodson was named the Music City Bowl MVP for the second year in a row. In 2008 the Wildcats opted to go to the Liberty Bowl instead of the Music City Bowl and defeated Conference USA champion East Carolina 25-19. In 2009, Brooks and Kentucky returned to the Music City Bowl, losing in a rematch to Clemson 21-13
