Rich Brooks to Announce Future This Morning at 11 am

Rich Brooks will be holding a press conference this morning at 11 am to announce whether he will return to the sidelines to coach one more year or will step down and allow Joker Phillips to hack the “in waiting” off of his title.

The decision took a few days longer than expected, and I think we can chalk that up to the fact that Brooks and AD Mitch Barnhart had conversations about his future and the different subjects that could cause Brooks to coach one more year.

At this point, if I were handicapping the thing, I would say he’s still likely to retire, but maybe a little lower than the 80% odds he gave us last Sunday after the Music City Bowl.

Stay tuned.
