Matt House ended up helping Stoops turn the program around tremendously.
He (Stoops) had to take over playcalling from D.J. Elliott(current DC at KU) in 2016 because of how bad the team was performing. Stoops would have likely lost his job during that season.
The two biggest differences between Kansas and Kentucky football currently are the following:
1. Kentucky gave Stoops time to build his program and he's actually started producing results, showing that he's been a decent-to-good hire at Kentucky. And has had better results than any coach since Mangino at Kansas.
2. Kentucky is spending a lot of money on improving the facilities. I'm unsure about if that's the case at KU.
Also, a lot of this has to do with overall stability within the athletic department with Barnhart. I'm unsure if there's any Power 5 school that has had all 3 of their basketball, football coach, and AD in place as long as Kentucky has.
