SB Nation lists the coaches that are on the hot seat and Kentucky’s Joker Phillips is on the list under the sub heading [URL=”http://www.sbnation.com/ncaa-football/2011/10/24/2510105/houston-nutt-rick-neuheisel-luke-fickell-hot-seat-coaches”]”It’s just been 2 years, but…..”[/URL]
[B]Joker Phillips, Kentucky[/B]
[B]Record (Remaining Games)[/B]: 3-4 (Mississippi State, Ole Miss, at Vanderbilt, at Georgia, Tennessee).[B]
Chance For Salvation (1-10)[/B]: 8.[B]
If I Were Athletic Director…[/B]: I’d find Mike Leach’s cell phone number, just in case.
Again, it takes a significant collapse to get dumped after just two years. And even with potentially the worst BCS offense in the country, the Wildcats could most certainly take any of the next three games. But if he [I]doesn’t[/I], or if he even wins just [I]one[/I], is that enough to buy him a third season in Lexington? Phillips is safer than Gill, I think, but a 2-9 career SEC record is bad, and the fact that they’ve scored 20 points in three SEC games this year is worse.
