What reasons were there for giving Rich Brooks more time? Again, I am not saying that Joker is good, all I am saying is that if he stayed I would not be surprised. There was absolutely no reason to give Rich Brooks more time. Remember that Guy Morris had a 7 win season and one of those games was the famous LSU comeback, so he should have had ANOTHER win. Rich Brooks takes that team and wins 4, 2, and 3 games in his first three years. Who honestly said they wanted him to stay?

In fairness, Rich Brooks had a history to support him of good coaching, Joker doesn't have that luxury, however he is an alumnus.

I say keep him, UNLESS, you can strike gold with a knockout hire.

Brooks had 17 years as a head coach under his belt and was even a head coach in the NFL, plus he was dealing with NCAA probation. Joker on the other was handed the keys to a program that had won 4 bowl games in a row and had beat every team in the SEC west with the exception of Bama plus one of the nations longest non conference winning streaks with wins over Clemson and FSU. IMO everybody connected to the hiring the Joker should be fired. SEC in not a place for on the job training. As I stated in the post before, JOKER has no feel for being a college football coach. Rich Brooks lost starting QB's and played young teams but he never used that as a excuse! I remember when he used Freshmen QB and went down to Auburn and beat a Tiger team at there place for the first time over 40 years. JOKER can't coach plain and simple! Anyone that think Joker is a better coach than Houston Nutt momma had to on CRACK when theyy were in the womb! I would take NUTT over JOKER any day of the week and twice on SUNDAY! Nutt won the SEC west 2 times and his first 2 years at OLE Miss they were 9-4!! Joker has the same chance to go 9-4 as I do to hit the lottery everyday for a week! Jim Matney is a better football coach than JOKER!
