First of all I am a fan of Joker Phillips, no one wants him to succeed more than me. However, I like winning and Joker hasn't done too much of that in his two seasons as Kentucky's head football coach. This season he faced arguablly the easiest schedule in the past 15 years. He found Florida, Georgia and Tennessee on a down year and played the easiest teams from the west. However, the Cats have struggled offensively and defensively. The Cats went into Vandy with hopes of being Bowl eligible for the 6th straight years and got torn apart in a 38-8 drumming to the Commodores. A 30-point loss to Vandy should alone get a SEC coach fired. Yet probably the most damning thing for Joker is the 2012 schedule which contains some of the hardest teams from the SEC best case scenario the Cats go 5-7 and after two straight losing records you will be hard pressed to find Joker on the sidelines next season.
