HOOVER, Ala. - If Joker Phillips is concerned about his job status he sure isn't letting on, even cracking jokes when asked about the temperature of his coaching seat.

I think a lot of people almost try to find reasons not to like Mitch, it think he's a loyal AD who makes a lot more great decisions than bad ones. I think we'll see enough improvement to bring Joker back, I know I'll be rooting for him

Every coach, every where knows that if you don't win then you will be fired. It's not a secret. Joker said his job was to win football games at UK.....he hasn't done all that well at his job thus far......he knows that he can be fired. But as a coach you just have to suck it up, sweep it under the rug, and try as hard as you can to win the next game.

spot on, BR22. If you coach like you're on the hot seat, you won't stay on it very long....you'll be on the unemployed seat!

I'm not attacking you, but he is 11-14, where as cholly is 14-11. 3 games difference and they are 1-1 head to head. Perspective is king here. There are several games this season that I wouldn't want to be the other team against us because we will be gunning for them.

Oh, I know. I don't have an agenda against Joker. My entire purpose of the post was to say that Joker knows his back is against the wall. He also knows what he has to do to get off the wall. And the best way to get off the wall is to suck it up and get to work.....let the chips fall where they may.
