side of the ball? Maybe have him watch some practices and see what Rich thinks.

Thoughts?

If Stoops can't figure it out by now, I don't think Brooks is going to help him much.

Here's a better idea - maybe Mitch can stop by a practice as one of the necessary obligatory steps an AD has to do to show support for an embattled coach.

Yeah sure - Stoops can try to get him on the line after the front 9 of some prestigious golf course or between casts on some scenic trout stream and I'm sure Rich will be more than happy to help.

He could consult with Col. Travis and Crockett from the Alamo(by seance) and throw in Moshe Dyan for good measure and it wouldn't help this bunch

CRB is finished with UK. I can imagine his last year, just sitting in his office with a smile and thinking "alright, you bastards don't want to spring for upgrades and a recruiting room, I'll convince you to hire CJP as the next coach".

Maybe give Tubby a call,you know, ball line defense.See that line right there don't let the other team get the ball past it.Really simple stuff when you think about it.

A question I've been asking myself the past couple years about Mitch Barnhart .... Was Mitch ever an athlete at any level in HS or College and if so does anyone know what sports he might have played? Comes off as an accountant to me who's learned how to run his mouth and talk sporty... But maybe he was a player... but not a baller.... Mitch would like being labeled a baller.

You have a guy that is a former defensive coordinator in his 4th year as a head coach and we are asking if it would help if Rich Brooks could give him some advice on how to improve things on the defense? No offense my man but the logical thing to do would be to end this mess today and get rid of Stoops. Its obvious he is not the person we need leading the program but I know we will wait another year to let this thing crash and burn some more.

meanwhile Charlie Strong is going to re-evaluate his defensive staff after a poor showing this past weekend. :chairshot: Even Charlie "GETS IT"!

It's not about who needs to be consulted at this point, but who needs to be fired.

We're past the point where advice or some "tweaking" is going to do anything. It's time for sweeping changes in staff, philosophy, scheme, development, etc...
Yep. Picking Brooks' brain should have happened right after Stoops was hired. If he did that, it didn't help. LOL

Coach Brooks would have a hard time fixing all of the problems this defensive unit has displayed.

The thing we ALWAYS had while he was here, was a STUD MLB. That is a must playing in the SEC.

A buddy of mine asked me today "hey, what the hell is up with Y'alls defense?"

I said, "you remember that electric football game where the board just vibrated and the men just kinda went all over the place? Well that's what our defense is like."

He said...Damn, that's not good.
