re: Joker Phillips Has Been Fired (Letter from AD Mitch Barnhart Enclosed)

Yeah I put that in the OP.

I'm glad for the change but I'm sad about it too. I like Joker. I think all of us wanted him to succeed because he's a Kentucky guy to the core. He's going to make someone a great coordinator and maybe at some point down the road he can find a place where he can be a good HC with the experience.

His dream job was UK. I'm a little heartbroken for him about it. Yeah he'll have the money from his contract but I'm sure that only goes so far. I hope he can finish the season at the helm and get a proper send off.
