When Rick Minter and Steve Pardue turned up at Kentucky’s bowl practice on Saturday, it became pretty clear that Joker Phillips had already filled the two open spots on his coaching staff. But UK had to announce the openings and leave them unfilled for a period of seven days.
Time’s up.
Today UK officially announced that the former Cincinnati head coach (and ex-Joker Phillips boss) Minter will be the Cats’ new co-defensive coordinator alongside Steve Brown.
Pardue — who funneled a number of player from his LaGrange, Georgia high school to UK — will take over as running backs coach.
Only three coaches remain from the staff Phillips inherited from Rich Brooks last offseason (Brown, offensive coordinator Randy Sanders and linebackers coach/recruiting coordinator Chuck Smith).
