The House of Blue

Where would he fit in the staff?

Joker likes his staff the way it is right now. And unless Steve Brown is offered another DC job (which is still possible down the road), he doesn't appear to be going anywhere. Joker likes having him around because of the massive rapport he has with the players and because he's a good defensive backs coach. Things didn't work out with him calling the plays but that's OK.

One tidbit that really told me how much UK's players look up to Brown: I asked Winston Guy this spring about his position change and I asked him if there were any immediate drawbacks. He said he was disappointed he didn't really get to work with Brown anymore. He did say he'd keep going to Brown if he needed anything because he looks up to him and respects his opinion. That's generally how the players feel about him.

Not interested in him coming to UK. He was horrid at UL and Illinois. I Shutter at the thought. He'd make you miss the Brown days as DC.

If we are transitioning to a TCU-like defense we should go get their secondary coach that's been there for 10 years. He's still fairly young too.

I like Kerry Coombs, but, if a DB coaching job opens up I'd love to have Rob Manchester of Georgia Military. He'd be a great addition to an already great staff.
