Doug Gottlieb did a really great job eulogizing Brooks Thompson in a Facebook post last night after the former Poke passed away. He told the Joe Adkins story (more here), talked about how Brooks and Randy Rutherford were besties and said Brooks had considered giving up coaching for ministry. Here are a few snippets.
Brooks always wanted to be the head coach at Oklahoma State, and when his dreams were dashed this year by his team struggling, he offered any and all support to me. That is the kind of guy he was.
