The Big Blue Nation has been screaming from the mountain tops wanting Joker Phillips to be fired.

Well, Football Rumor Mill has tweeted 2 possible guys that Kentucky is supposedly taking a look at


Kentucky appears to be targeting David Cutcliffe and Tommy Tuberville as potential replacements for Joker Phillips

Worst kept secret in CFB

Cutcliffe would be a solid choice, not sure he'd leave tho, he's already kind of old

He is about 68 years old, but should Frank Solich be considered as a candidate? He had the impossible task of following Tom Osborne at Nebraska and has done very well at Ohio.

the fact they would be looking in not a surprise. Now we have some names to rumor about. The little piggies will get upset cuz they are getting comfortable with the idea of TT. It would be sad to see them get one stolen out from under their hog noses.

LOL.

Kentucky would be a down grade from TTU for Tubbs.

It would be a lateral move for Cutcliffe.

If Kentucky is dead set on hiring a former SEC head coach, Nutt is theirs for the taking.

I would be OK with Tuberville, not Cutcliffe.

Really? i was not aware at all about their coaching situation and how bad they suck and i am dumbfounded as to why they would want to replace the Joker.

Tubbs has all the leverage at the moment. Better than expected year at TTU, I expect that he would be on the radar at several schools, and not just in the SEC. I wonder if he has any interest in Colorado. Nice conference and beautiful city.

UK is a place that needs a gimmick to win, so I'm not sure pro style Cutcliffe ball is right for them.

Hire an Air Raid or Triple Option coach.

If Tub leaves TTU at all it wont be for UK, I dont know why Cutcliffe would leave Duke for us.

I saw comment on TT wanting back in the SEC but did not want to have to recruit in state in Alabama against Saban thus the exit from Auburn.

SEC has more cache but winning 6 in the ACC is a whole lot easier. I think that is why folks would say it was a lateral move.

Cut is 58 and was very mediocre at OM at best.

Evidently, Tubberville will be able to select from many fine SEC HC opportunities. Lots of mad respect.
