The House of Blue

Ouch. “Patrick dearly wants to contribute to the University of Kentucky and he wants to do it now, but as far as transferring, we’ve not made any decisions on that.” Not exactly a glowing endorsement for staying at UK.

He goes on about not wanting to redshirt, wanting to play now......tough situation.

So if he redshirts this year, then sits the bench the next two years behind smith, it will be a while before he ever plays lol. He better either grab a snickers, or he may be on his way out:(.

Bobby Petrino will get him a series in each half next year, as he typically does with his backup QB.

Lol

I've said since day one, Patrick Towles should be given a chance to start and NOT be redshirted... and I was damn near all alone with that opinion on here. We saw what get now when Smith is hurt... and I think Towles would have done better than Newton. Yeah... even in his first game as a freshman... even in the SEC... and even on the road at Florida. Newton at his best, is nowhere near as good as Towles on a bad day. IMHO. Everyone wants to be sideline coach, but it appears this could backfire on everyone, including Joker and those of you who suggested RS. At this point, I would not blame him a bit for transferring.

My 2 cents is that he should just hold on through the season. You don't have to announce a transfer right now (Towles or anyone else for that matter).
It should be crystal clear to everyone that a coaching change will happen and IMHO the new guy will - assuming everything we have been told about Towels ability to make all the throws - will give the ball to Patrick. Lots of reason to do this as a coach (unless reports on his talent are not true), you have 4 years with a guy in your system and you have a honeymoon of a year or two to get it in place and show improvement.
At least this is what I expect to see.
Go Cats!
