Sorry to say it but I still think racism is the thing the fuels the most hatred for Joker.

I like him and if given the chance Brooks was believe he will be successful.

I'm sure that there are several UK fans who don't like Joker because he's black, and I felt that way about Tubby as well. But there is not comparison between the two situations.

The thing that made Brooks successful was that he didn't care to say that we didn't have the athletes to compete with Florida or Bama, etc. He'd say that all we can do is hope to get the occasional 3-star prospect and turn him into 5-star quality. Joker just says that "it's not that bad" or "the O-line is our strength" etc. I can deal with loosing, but I can't deal with a coach who is either oblivious to how bad they were as a team or just flat out not calling a pig, a pig.

However, since you mention it, I do have a slight prejudice..............I hate bad football coaches at D1 colleges.
