Ohio State hired former Kentucky head coach Joker Phillips as a quality control assistant earlier this week. In a past life, Phillips worked as Florida's wide receivers coach under Will Muschamp in 2013.
It was in Gainesville that Phillips became notorious for hilariously bad photo edits he sent to entice talented recruits to come play wide receiver for the Joker:

Retrospectively speaking, "awful" may be an understatement. In Phillips' defense, the country spent April 2013 laughing at Florida's photoshop game.
Phillips is at Ohio State now, where Urban Meyer has overseen a small guild of graphics wizards since his arrival in Columbus. "Awful" isn't going to cut it—in any arena.
Enter Photoshop Phriday.
If you're new to these hijinks, your task is simple: Take one of the source photos, fire up Photoshop (or MS Paint if you're about that life) and stage the intervention Phillips' photo edit game needs. He may not be allowed to recruit from a supporting role, but #ComePlayWRforTheJoker remains immortal.
