And seriously, counting a Devlin (hey, a pro said something good) quote about Brock as a reference? Are you kidding? WTF would Devlin know about Brock? At least Pops had some experience with KC (and it sounds as though he said just what Brock's pros said about him)...which is what you expect winners to say about anyone.

As far as people who worked with Brock, what else would any rational (ie. not Hoefnor) person say about one of their collaegues..."I was stupid enough to hire a stiff who sucked"?

Even when you've fired someone, and it appears Brock did not have job security at Rutgers after his experience there, you always emphasis the positive (even to the point of stretching the truth) about the person to the media to allow a graceful exit. That is business. <----Damn, that might conflict with what others believe represents "business". :lol:


This is the most ramblng post you ever posted and that is an accomplishment. I know you really liked KC Keeler. I was just stating facts not opinion. No former player came out in support of Keeler. Just look a little north to Centre County, PA and see how many players still came to the defense very loud in support of the fallen coach named Paterno under a cloud of tragedy. When Mike Leach got fired at Texas Tech becuase of Craig James' brat son...support came out by buckets. Not even one former player even anonymously came out to disagree with Keeler's firing.....not a dam one. That says alot. Not ripping Keeler so dont get all puffed up....just stating a very curious observation. Keeler could not afford to have so many losing seasons while still maintaining a Belichick-like attitude. Its was a recipe for demise which happened. As for the other quotes, they dont mean a dam thing. All football coaches are always goin to kiss each others **** because they dnt want to burn any bridges in their next job search.

Since the Subject was "First Impression", here is mine:

1) A somewhat non-descript resume with no real highlight to 'grab onto'
2) Seems like a nice guy
3) Speech was rather Dull with no real substance or hint to what he might be thinking of doing
4) That AD Ziady had this guy picked out awhile back

KT of the N Jounral had the Name AND the Date of the hire pegged 10 days ago. He knew something. I am hoping UDAF folks get an invite to NLI Day again. WOuld like to attend and see what he says especially with these being the previous staffs recruits.

And yet there doesn't seem to be an outcry of sadness for Brocks' departure from Rutgers. :shock:

BTW, I've personally spoken to a couple players who were shocked and saddened to see KC go. Funny how facts...actual facts...get in the way of your suppositions.
UD football...playoff bound in 2013...with KC's recruits.

Some folks need handrails for humor.

He spoke in the present term of OUR team not MY team and referenced the fact WE are built to win now. I understand he was also very respectful and complimentry of KC. I know it's early but this is our guy and he deserves our support.


Yes, he seems like a standup guy and deserves our support. After all, it's not his fault Ziady pulled a scum bag move to get his buddy here. We should all give Brock a chance to get us back to another National Championship after missing the last two. Three years should be a fair enough time to get us back to the N.C. :idea:
Welcome Coach Brock: May you have as much success, or more, as your last four Predecessors.
