UK fires Joker Phillips

[Ghostofbigworm]

I said it yesterday at the tailgait and I'm saying it right now. If they bring in bobby petrino, I will most likely 99.9% stop all support for USF athletics. Just a tiny drop in the bucket and no one will notice, but morals have to mean SOMETHING! Winning is important, but not enough to sell your soul.

People have affairs all the time, and if you think guys hiring their mistresses as their secretary is the end of the world, don't look at Fortune 500 companies (or the govt). Last time I checked, Arkansas didn't have the NCAA breathing down their neck. He may be an opportunist and a womanizer, but he is a **** good college football coach.

Vandy would kill BallState or UConn.

UK will not hire Bobby P, too much bad blood between him and Rich Brooks who is still close to the UK Football Program. Look for UK to give serious consideration to Sonny Dykes who was a GA at UK.

they lost 38-0 to vandy.

40-0

Comparing Joker Phillips' situation to that of Skip Holtz is comparing apples to oranges.

UK is going after Petrino. We are not. They pulled the trigger for that reason.

Kentucky not considering hiring Bobby Petrino after firing Joker Phillips

The problem is between Mitch Barnhart and Petrino as much as it is between Brooks and Petrino. Mitch might just turn back to Oregon, where he came from and where he got Rich, not for Chip Kelly, but for Mark Helfrich.

he was terrible

i wouldnt take someone with a name "joker"seriously

auburn isnt firing their coach

Skip Holtz isn't getting fired. Can we cut all this ******** and move on...please. We ******* won yesterday.

Beating UConn isn't worthy of being a job saver. We barely be an awful awful awful UConn team in what is a crappy season (the second in a row). If we can beat Miami, Cincy, and Pitt (at least 2/3) then you've got some ground to stand on.

I doubt Skip gets fired even at 3-9, but to call it ******** that people are calling for it is naive.

It's more naive for you to completely miss my point...
