This is bigger news than most people realize.

Joker is likely to get a formal position on the staff when one (cough) opens up.

I thought experience as an assistant coach at a D1 school put you in position for a HC job down the line.

Seems at OSU experience as a HC at a D1 school put you in position for an assistants job.

With Phillips and Brian Knorr we are now up to three on staff (4 counting Meyer).

Fixed.

That's what I was thinking. With all his experience it would only make sense that he, or Meyer, is positioning himself for a bigger role down the line.

He will certainly have better graphic designers at his disposal during his time here:

I bet Diddy toasted this hire at his high end happy hour yesterday.

I'm sure the PBR flowed freely.

Wasn't he at one time being looked at for NCAA violations? during his last stint in Florida?

yes - yes he was from wiki

On December 3, 2012, Phillips was hired by the University of Florida as wide receivers coach and recruiting coordinator.[9] In April 2014, Florida suspended Phillips for impermissible conduct with a recruit;[10] Phillips resigned in June 2014.[11] In February 2015, the NCAA ruled that Phillips committed a Level II violation that "was not inadvertent and provided more than a minimal recruiting advantage."[10] The NCAA did not penalize Florida.[10]

I think they do a lot of film study/breakdown and critique areas that need improvement (or areas that are performing well, I guess).

Hiring a guy with a lot more experience coaching WRs to critique the current WR coach is an interesting move to say the least.

I hope Zach Smith has been a part of these discussions and is on board with whatever plan Meyer has in mind moving forward.
