Jason Phillips was picked up as another WR coach at Kansas.

Personally, I thought he stunk.

[smupony94]

He did and Houston fans were happy when we took him from them

[Digetydog]

Personally, I thought he stunk.

He fell into the category of SMU coaches under June who at least seemed to try to recruit and to coach up his players. Although I am skeptical (based upon what I have heard he did to G Dieter), I hope his 2nd chance is a an opportunity to show that he can really coach.

Remember when Abu floated the idea that hiring Phillips as HC after June retried would be a good idea?

[ghost]

terrible while he was at SMU. Just when you didn't think KU could sink any lower. I bet he led the KU coaches to believe he had a recruiting pipeline from Houston. Did he recruit any good receivers to SMU?

[smupony94]

He ran good ones away

Home Run hire

[Charleston Pony]

Well...after all, it's Kansas we are talking about. Some things just never change.

Home Run hire

Yeah, but everyone (me included) was excited about the hire because he had a strong recruiting rep at Houston and we thought we would have someone who would get us out on the trail.

He made good inroads at Lamar for us, but his rep at Houston was that he was not a good coach (why he was chased out), and that was true at SMU as well.

Jason Phillips was about the only one even trying-not my fault that June Jones has one coach like Klemm or Jason Phillips in charge of recruiting to mask the others sitting on their [deleted]. Compare to Chad Morris where every coach is pulling the rope all over DFW and Texas instead of 2 or 3 recruiters spread too thin. In 2 full recruiting years + 3 weeks of a third, Phillips was lead recruiter for:

Kyran Mitchell
Ryheem Malone
Jordan Ingram
Braylon Hyder
Darrell Colbert
Shelby Walker
James Proche (remember he committed to SMU before June quit)
Zelt Minor
Darrell Durall
Cedric Lancaster
Deion Sanders
Jarvis Pruitt
A.J. Justice

He was also the coach who was seldom available when recruits reached out to contact him.

Beatty served as WR coach on Sumlin's Aggie staff, surely he got references before he made the hire.

I am not saying he is a great coach or that he didn't do some dumb stuff (the apology letter). He joined our staff when almost everyone else had given up or left. With a fresh start and a better leader, maybe he can coach?

Not exactly the resume of a "home run hire" if you ask me.

[PonyKai]

Nope, it sure isn't.
