So you don't hold the Joker Phillips hire against him?

I didn't necessarily hold the Joker hiring against him. At the time it seemed like the right move. UK had gone to multiple bowls and Joker was a pretty well regarded coordinator, so I was OK with it.
It just turned out to be a disaster from day one unfortunately for both UK and Joker.

As far as other sports, he has done great, but very few people care about those (except Arky fans) and they bring in no revenue. Bringing in DeMoss and Mitchell were great hires, his best.

I blame him for the football troubles beginning with Morriss leaving, but do like the Stoops hiring. He's done nothing for basketball, Calipari was hired by the board, Barnhart didn't want him.

He's been a good AD from an overall sports program perspective, but in the money generating sports, he's been below average.
