January 28, 2015The Cleveland Browns have a new wide receivers coach and his name is Joker. Joker Phillips is set to coach Andrew Hawkins, Taylor Gabriel, Travis Benjamin and Not Josh Gordon.
Joseph “Joker” Phillips has been a coach in various capacities since the late 1980’s. He’s had stops in Kentucky, Cincinnati, Minnesota, Notre Dame and South Carolina in various coaching capacities. He’s been a head coach at Kentucky and was most recently a wide receivers coach for Florida. Finally now, at the age of 51, Joker is getting his shot in the NFL.

It might be a relief for Phillips to be in the NFL and away from the NCAA. Zac Jackson tweeted out an old link from September 2014 that contained some details about Phillips’ exit from Florida.
Last June 11, Phillips suddenly resigned from Will Muschamp’s staff, citing personal reasons. A subsequent report by Yahoo Sports said that the University of Miami had reported Phillips for an alleged NCAA violation, having contact with a recruit during a dead period.
No word on what the Browns’ pitch might be to free agent wide receivers, but I’d be willing to let Joker handle it.

The Cleveland Browns still don’t have a quarterbacks coach, but if you trust Lane Adkins’ reporting abilities (I do,) then you can assume the Browns will have one very very soon.

Hopefully not this joker:
People talk about me, baby
Say I’m doin’ you wrong, doin’ you wrong
Well, don’t you worry baby, don’t worry
‘Cause I’m right here, right here, right here, right here at home
you.beat.me.to.it.
the thing is that he’s a year late to hang out with Josh Gordon

He speaks to the pompitus of the three wide-out set.
“Clowns to the left of me
Jokers to the right, here I am,
Stuck in Berea with you”
Hi, Joker.
Hi, Joker

What effect will this hiring have, if any, on Johnny’s status as a “100% joke”?
I hope Haslam and the boys will fully vet this at their off-site retreat.
Do we suddenly care about the WR coach because his name is Joker?
Our WR coach will have plenty of work to do.
Apparently, they’re anticipating the return of Gordon…

Haslam has already ok’d him with the homeless guy.
Without searching, do you know who it was last year?
Nope, do you? I would guess Loggins was doing both
That’s kind of my point. We didn’t care last year, why do we care now?
WR coach, like a special teams coach, you don’t care unless the group performs poorly
Those papers go up in a flash
Only thing better would have been if he was the new QB coach!
Three? Yikes.
In retrospect, the clip is much more fitting
