Browns hiring Joker Phillips as wide receivers coach

The Browns are still looking for a quarterbacks coach to join Mike Pettine’s staff for the 2015 season, but they’ve found someone to work with their wide receivers.

Adam Caplan of ESPN reports that the team will hire Joker Phillips to fill that role. Phillips was most recently the wide receivers coach and recruiting coordinator at the University of Florida in the 2012 and 2013 seasons, a job he took after spending three years as the head coach at the University of Kentucky. He led the Wildcats to a 13-24 record during those seasons and the Browns job will be his first in the NFL.

Phillips will be tasked with shaping up a group that likely won’t include Josh Gordon. Gordon is expected to serve a suspension for the 2015 season after a positive test for alcohol triggered a violation of the league’s substance abuse policy. With Miles Austin set to become a free agent, the top receivers currently under contract and expected to be available are Andrew Hawkins and Taylor Gabriel.

Phillips replaces Mike McDaniel, who left the team along with former offensive coordinator Kyle Shanahan at the end of the season.

Not sure why we have Joker Phillips as our receiver coach... not a good situation at all right now.

 

He was good coordinator at UK ---players liked him, but stunk it up when he finally got his shot at HC

 

Hopefully a good hire... hes going to need some players from the draft and atleast 1 FA splash.

 

 

 

Bermeck (a job is a job... good luck Joker!)

To be serious....Joker is a good coach. You don't get hired to be a head coach in a major conference if you aren't. It may not have worked out, but he is more than qualified to be a NFL receivers coach.

best steve miller song: in the winter time.

Book of Dreams??? ZZZZZZzzzzzzz...

 

Miller was at his best early when his friend, Ohio-born Boz Scaggs, was in the band. Sailor is a classic LP yielding the following, penultimate Steve Miller track...

Just by chance, at birth his family named him Joker knowing he would at some point be the Browns WR Coach. For years our WR's have been a joke. The Curse is over and just maybe they find the End zone...
