2011 was not a good year for second year coach Joker Phillips and his Kentucky Wildcats. Joker lost Randall Cobb, Mike Hartline and Derrick Locke and the team struggled all year to replace their production. Kentucky finished the season dead last in the SEC in points scored and passing yards and finished second to last in rushing yards. That's not a recipe for success and that's how it translated on the field.
Kentucky started out 3-5 with their three wins coming against Western Kentucky, Central Michigan and Jacksonville State. It took until November 5th for the Wildcats to get their first win against Ole Miss. The very next week the Cats got buried by Vanderbilt by 30 points. 2011 was not a year that Joker Phillips will remember fondly but he did send the fans out on a good note as his Wildcats beat the Tennessee Volunteers in the finale. We caught up with Derrick Stacy of Sports at Work to get his take on the 2011 season and take a brief glimpse into 2012.
