[> Subject: Re: Dartmouth football staff openings Author: Yale OL [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 08:30:22 12/23/25 Tue Is the DL coach that is leaving Coach Brooks? I remember him at Yale. Where is he going?

[> [> Subject: Brooks would be a big loss for Dartmouth Author: Go Green [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 08:26:34 12/24/25 Wed Defensive Line is usually a position of strength for the Big Green. Coach Brooks is a big part of that. I remember that in the final weekend in 2015, my 1992 championship team had a reunion. On Sunday morning after we beat Princeton to clinch the title, the football office had a reception for our team at Floren. So we arrive at Floren roughly 900 AM or so. Coach Brooks was in his own office going over game film from the previous day (again, season over and title already won). I was impressed.

[> [> [> Subject: Extraordinary Time Management Skills Author: An Observer [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 13:45:33 12/24/25 Wed That's a good story about Brooks in his office on Sunday morning, reviewing game tape when the season is over and everybody else is celebrating. It prompts the following question. All competitive coaches work hard, we know that. Football coaches seem to be a special breed in that regard, however. Their in-season hours are legendary. Getting in at 5:00 AM and working through lunch and dinner before leaving at midnight, sometimes sleeping on a couch in the office. To what extent are football coaches putting in those hours because it's absolutely necessary to succeed at a high level? Or is it possible that a lot of those guys are more than a little OCD? Steve Spurrier was well known to put in a day's work during the season, then leave the office and get in nine holes of golf before sharing a late dinner with Geri. So a normal work/life balance can be achieved if one prioritizes it. I was also thinking about this during news reports of the various and sundry football coaches recently discovered to be having extramarital affairs in season. Michigan. . . Ohio. . . Arkansas. . . it must be something in the Ohio River watershed. I mean, these guys are working 18-hour days in the office and still getting a little something on the side. I wish that I had time management skills like that.
