I have some news about Joker situation as coach and the possibility of his return. I am also looking deeper on why this decision potentially being made. I do want this news to stay here please.

Based upon what you've shared thus far, I'd say your secret is safe with us.

Alright guys the UK adminstration is looking to bring back Joker as of right now. However it be cleaning house on all assistants. Sanders, Minter all be gone. Neal Brown has been contacted about possibility of becoming the OC and I also heard they are going to try Randy Shannon again for DC. This is what I have heard so far. Things can change by end of the season but as of now this is how it be.

I think it's obvious that this entire staff, including Joker, cannot get the kind of players we need to be competitive. I think a complete overhaul is needed.

Agreed PaulCat, we need a fresh start with this team.

I think whoever told you this is pulling your leg. No way Barnhart is going to risk his own future by bringing Joker back unless there is a big tunaround by his team.......which is about the most unlikely thing I can think of. If Joker only wins one or two of the remaining games there is no way he is coming back.

If they only clean house with his staff, they they will be cleaning house with attendance figures at Commonwealth as well. The fans have spoken, and it's not just about the staff.

Aside from the W/L record one must consider if he is recruiting the talent that would elevate the program. It is perfectly obvious that he is not and never has because every recruiting expert in America keeps rating his classes dead last in the SEC and the record proves that ranking.
All the talk about how great this crop and last year's crop of freshman players are is just that....TALK! Sure, there are a few decent players just like there always is, but the classes as a whole continue to be ranked at the very bottom. So, the idea that Joker is going to take these young players and transform the team next year is nothing more than propaganda and wishful thinking in an attempt to find a way to justify keeping him on another season.
The facts need to be faced - Joker is not a recruiter of top talent and never has been and never will be, and until we have a coach who can draw better talent in sufficient numbers, the UK football program will continue to feed off the bottom.
Recruiting and intelligent coaching are the keys and Joker can do neither, so why would Mitch even think about keeping him another year? Ain't gonna happen - Joker is history (and it's about time).

I couldn't agree more, it's past time, he's set the program back ten years.
