"While we aren't ruling out Joker Phillips that one doesn't seem as realistic as first thought. Phillips' NCAA issue in the past could be a concern with the SEC.
I am not sure the Kansas State assistant is interested in leaving his alma mater and I'm not sure if Jones sees him as a fit.
One name I am hearing alot more today is Kevin Beard. The former Miami receiver and Miami coach is now at Florida International. He obviously knows Larry Scott. We are tracking as much as we can with Beard.
Tyron Carrier at West Virginia could be another name to watch although he has only been at West Virginia for a year."

Butch can do better than Beard. He has a very short bio and very little experience coaching at this level.

Experience wise for sure since he was only a college WR coach in 2015. Players and recruits loved him at Miami. He got the job because of his connections for recruiting. He was a HS OC and mentored Amari Cooper, Ermon Lane, Ammon Richards etc on 7 on 7 teams. Not really sure what he did at UGA recruiting wise since they don't give Quality control guys credit for work they do.
Would have to trust Scott on that one and with how they continue to attack S Florida hiring Beard definitely would help.
