Title: Joker Phillips...he went to UF as WR coach Post by: Volznut on December 12, 2012, 02:50:54 EST UF paid him @250K. He went from around 1.7 million/yr to @250K
Maybe we should give him a call Title: Re: Joker Phillips...he went to UF as WR coach Post by: WoodstockVol on December 12, 2012, 03:03:36 EST He was good as an offensive coordinator under Rich Brooks
Title: Re: Joker Phillips...he went to UF as WR coach Post by: Cobbvol on December 12, 2012, 03:53:01 EST Tim Brewster also went from Minnesota HC to Mississippi State as a WR coach. Maybe we should call him as well. Also what about Greg Knox, Shane Beamer, and Tony Ball. All would be reaches except for maybe Knox, but if we have cash to apply to this position, maybe they are open to change environments.
I also heard Latrell Scott's name thrown around. He had a DUI in Virginia so I doubt this will play well for his return.

I would hope he wants the "best guy" regardless of race....

I think CBJ wants a black guy for this position. Knox is at Miss State as a RB coach but has coached WR's and has worked with Thigpen at Auburn. Beamer is a great recruiter. The question is, would he leave his dad? VaTech could have coaching shake-ups and he could be in line for OC. Ball is from Chattanooga and currently on the UGA staff. Would cash help him to go north to give us another "Georgia recruiter"?

Title: Re: Joker Phillips...he went to UF as WR coach Post by: Clockwork Orange on December 12, 2012, 05:13:14 EST I would hope he wants the "best guy" regardless of race.... I'm sure he does but superficial things like race have an effect on recruiting whether you like it or not. It affects what we do at my job . . . if we don't have a reasonably "colorful" faculty composition, there will be students who decline to come (or stay) because there's a subconscious comfort that comes from being around people like you and having mentors that you perceive as having gone through the same struggles as you. So in the end I think Jones wants the best staff available but having several black assistants makes it a better staff than it would be otherwise. |
