Not so. It was the media and all of the expert coaches on these web sites and on the call in shows that were absolutely frying Brooks and hanging him in effigy. It was the administration that held it's guns and stayed the course with Brooks.

its funny that you say that because the heros Todd and Barnhart had actually set up a meeting prior to the announcemnt that Brooks would remain as the coach. That meeting in fact was to talk to the Boosters on firing Brooks. One booster in particular one who pumps ALOT of money into the program (someone I know very well who flys on the team jet to away games, and is on the side line for most games) stood up and took up for Brooks and said if Brooks went his money went to. Trust me that one booster would have left a HUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUGE dent in the football fund. Now with that said during that season many of the people we tailgate with which on the norm consists of 50 to 60 people including the Brooks family all had signs and shirts in support of Brooks. One banner flew from a suite in the East endzone. Now with that said, yes the media were hard on brooks and some fans were. However, it was more a 50/50 fight, and hate to bust your bubble but the "saviors" are not all they are cracked up to be.irateSho
