Supposedly Joker was forced out because he unexpectedly ran into a recruit at a public place and said something like "good seeing you and I hope you're still considering the University of Florida".

Seriously.

Muschamp always struck me as a guy that I wouldn't want to play for or work for as an assistant, and he kind of cemented that yesterday.

Are there any obvious candidates to take over at Florida if Muschamp goes down? I don't care how old he is, I would make Steve Spurrier say no- even though he probably would.

At the end of next season (2015) Spurrier will have been at South Carolina for as long as he was at Florida. First game of 2016, longer. Blows my mind.

I don't get it. Was it a recruiting violation or something?

Quote:Former University of Florida wide receivers coach Joker Phillips resigned this week after the NCAA received a photo of the coach sitting in a restaurant with a high school recruit during a mandated dead period in recruiting, multiple sources told Yahoo Sports.

Three sources told Yahoo Sports the photo was turned over to the NCAA by an individual with ties to the Miami Hurricanes athletics program. Should the NCAA determine Phillips improperly recruited during a mandated dead period, it could be considered a major NCAA violation.....

Quote:Two sources told Yahoo Sports that the encounter was described to the NCAA as a violation of the “bump rule” – a scenario in which a coach unexpectedly comes across a recruit and has an impermissible dialogue. Such an instance is considered a secondary violation by the NCAA. However, the violation can graduate to something more serious if the contact between a coach and recruit is premeditated or arranged – such as a dinner or social gathering – in which the coach would be deemed to be purposefully violating the recruiting dead period.
