Brooks coached 15 years under Phillip Fulmer. The Volunteers finished in the top 25 of the polls in 12 of those seasons. In 2008, Tennessee was third in the nation in total defense, allowing just 263.5 yards per game. The Volunteers were 10th in scoring defense and 12th in rushing defense.

Coached six years under Mack Brown at North Carolina from 1988-93 and five years at Florida from 1983-87.
Worked in online, print, TV and radio. Bobby Valentine once wore a pair of my socks for 8 hours. In an awkward exchange, he handed them back to me to which they were immediately deposited in a trash can.
