Exhibit A - Rich Brooks (worked out OK, but 9-25 in first 3 seasons. Chased Bill Parcells - how stupid was that)
In his defense nobody (and I really mean nobody) wanted that job. He didn't really have much choice to hire Brooks. I can hold some things against Barnhart but that certainly isn't one of them.

I guess what I was trying to say was Brooks was not even on the list initially, just consulting for it, for what that is worth. He chased a coach for 3 weeks that was never going to come here.
I guess we will wait and see, but I don't have much faith in Barnhart to make this right. If he puts together a committee with Dawson and Van Note, maybe Couch to help, I will feel better. But I haven't heard of him doing this yet.

That's not entirely true. When we hired Brooks, there was another candidate who called expressing interest in the job. He was the then offensive coordinator of the NY Giants who had just had a lot of his play calling duties stripped from him by head coach Jim Fassel. UK declined to talk to him, and he later went on to be a OC under Parcels in Dallas and then the head coach in New Orleans. Yes, Sean Payton actually called back then and inquired about the UK job, and in typical UK fashion, we said we weren't interested.
