Joker Phillips for WR Coach Vacancy?

[GoCats1991]

Random thought, Joker Phillips is currently the WRs coach at NC State. Any chance he would be interested in coming back to Kentucky? He was obviously a failure at head coach but we had some great WRs under his time (Keenan Burton, Dicky Lyons, Steve Johnson) come to mind. Not sure if he has a grudge but it would be an interesting hire. Thoughts?

Please no.

Ehhhh, you mean 62 year old Joker Phillips? No.

He was a good OC with coach Brooks.

I'd prefer Mike Hartline, Offensive Analyst at Coastal Carolina, if you want to go the ex-player route.

Man, joker, stoops, and Wolford on same staff..solid gold right there, great idea! And make joker coach in waiting so when stoops retires in a few years, joker can step right in. We probably have enough in budget to upgrade jokers Microsoft paint 1.1 version too, so imagine the recruits he could get with Microsoft paint 1.2 version.

We got one you can have, if you want to lead the country in drops and have receivers that can run sharp routes

Joke's on you. We already had him or his buddy last season.

Even he realizes Stoops is a dead man walking.

Sure bring Joker back, we can even name him “Head Coach in waiting”!

Sumrall can bring whoever he wants with him….

Joker is AHC as well at NC St...I think.

I would hold up on making staff decision right now. If Ohio State get beat early round, Day might get the boot.

If that's the case I would make a run at a Day, Kelly, and/or Hartline to come here. Blank check, all in for one of them to come here for year or two until they get a gig somewhere else or brass n boosters decide to throw CMS an early retirement party and put a statue of him. Then one of those guys takes over.

Hartline most realistic obviously. The other two will have offers for all sorts of gigs. Hartline looking to rise up the ranks. Tell him he can bring brother Mike back to Lex.
