    Whoever is hired has to move the needle on the excitement meter. It goes without saying that this is Barnhart's biggest hire. I don't think Cutcliffe would excite the fanbase. Maybe people don't know a lot about Jones but the fact he is at Cincy his name is a lot more recognizeable than someone at LA Tech or a coordinator at another SEC school. Barnhart has to hit this hire out of the park; this program is heading downhill fast and he needs someone who can change the momentum. I just hope he's smart enough to realize that the season ticket holders won't accept another year of Joker.

    I'd disagree on the "downhill" part of your comment. Whoever coaches Uk will have a pretty good roster for UK standards.

    If Joker returns next year, the trend will continue downward. Since he has been the HC, there is no indication that he knows how to coach a winning program.

  • I think it is time for a change, but what gives any of us the impression joker want be back. Only reason i think he is gone is he dosnt have an extension. But would not shock me at all if joker is renewed.

  • Jones won't leave Cincy to come to UK. He can stay at Cincy and land a bigger job than UK in a year or two if not this year. Jones is a pipe-dream.
