While there are many Hokie fans upset by the imminent “poaching”

I think even more are bothered by the way Brooks left. Personally, I’m sad about the players leaving, but totally understand it’s part of today’s game. More than that, though, I’m just disappointed in the way Brooks behaved through the process. I was especially struck by the message Buzz Williams sent to Hokie Nation when he left (posted here in the past few days). When you are very unfavorably compared to Buzz, it’s not a good thing. I don’t think Michael Brooks, whoever he is, understands any of that.

TO HELL WITH KENNY BROOKS AND HIS BROTHER - let's move on...**
SCHokie80 • 04/03/24 09:53 PM ET
Same bad fanbase that turned out in epic fashion for Gameday
VT Pops • 04/03/24 09:51 PM ET
Certainly don’t agree with his comment about our “bad” fan base and CKB’s…
hokiesteve01 • 04/03/24 09:45 PM ET
Seem like a lot of hypocrisy going around. I wonder if it's genetic?**
saret • 04/03/24 09:45 PM ET
He sounds like a jackass to me. **
dobrohokie • 04/03/24 09:24 PM ET
Reminds me of Pat Mahomes' bro.**
NokieHokie • 04/03/24 10:23 PM ET
This dude MB is a douche, but that's going way too far**
King of Hokies • 04/04/24 10:19 AM ET
If this is true, it sounds like Kenny's brother is making the mistake
techcabber • 04/03/24 09:20 PM ET
He went to a school I dislike and hopes it loses more games than it wins.
Atlee Hokie • 04/03/24 11:17 PM ET
Too many people in the world think Twitter is represents an entire fanbase
CPVT3 • 04/03/24 09:19 PM ET
I aused to work with Michael quite a few years ago when CKB was at JMU
turkeywinghokie • 04/03/24 09:03 PM ET
Is Kentucky giving his daughters free scholarships not to play to?**
BristolPistol • 04/03/24 08:54 PM ET
Wait until this guy gets a load of SEC fans after a rivalry loss
The_Phew • 04/03/24 08:44 PM ET

King of Hokies • 04/03/24 08:42 PM ET

Andy Bitter said Brooks gave us the Irish goodbye!
tallahasseehokie • 04/03/24 08:32 PM ET
Kenny's brother is just staining the Brooks legacy at Tech...
Old Line Hokie • 04/03/24 08:13 PM ET
Well, in his presser at KY, Brooks seemed to be proud of the sellouts
83hokieee • 04/03/24 10:17 PM ET
We have a new coach, I'm just looking to the future.
wwhokie1 • 04/03/24 09:36 PM ET
You stated what I was thinking. VT did not start this mess. That was KB.**
j9hokie • 04/03/24 08:16 PM ET
He’s right**
WestEndHokie39 • 04/03/24 08:00 PM ET
He is nothing….**
hines495 • 04/03/24 08:34 PM ET
Psst, it’s the way he handled it. Just up and left Baltimore Colts style.**
Ship PA Hokie • 04/03/24 07:58 PM ET
Exactly. All he had to do was issue a goodbye. I don't know how this got so
ONELLY • 04/03/24 08:17 PM ET
A couple of things stand out to me...
94HokieME • 04/03/24 07:56 PM ET
Actually...the moment Brooks was hired by UK ....
hokeeron1 • 04/03/24 08:49 PM ET
Wait. Is he saying that VT administration
GCHokieof91 • 04/03/24 07:55 PM ET
I guess I get him wanting to say something on behalf of Kenny.......
jonnyhawk • 04/03/24 07:49 PM ET
From my perspective Kenny generally prepared his team well and
74hokie • 04/03/24 07:48 PM ET
So Nokie is coach Brooks’ brother? Who knew? **
Stork • 04/03/24 07:32 PM ET
I’m assuming it’s his brother but I don’t know 100% **
UGAHokie • 04/03/24 07:37 PM ET
That is his brother, yes.**
David CunninghamAdmin • 04/03/24 08:36 PM ET
Another babbling brook, oh my!**
seacain • 04/03/24 10:03 PM ET
Love it!**
NokieHokie • 04/03/24 07:32 PM ET
Looking at his timeline, he REALLY lives vicariously through his brother**
RoCo_Hokie • 04/03/24 07:29 PM ET
Just goes to show you that lack of class runs in the family.**
1979HOKIERED • 04/03/24 07:21 PM ET
Yeah it seems very petty. Best he moved on.**
Hokie Sunshine • 04/03/24 07:52 PM ET
It is petty. And hilarious. :)**
NokieHokie • 04/03/24 08:09 PM ET
Truth is better than class.**
NokieHokie • 04/03/24 07:32 PM ET
Truth? Does truth paint in such broad strokes?
GCHokieof91 • 04/03/24 08:00 PM ET
The truth is the majority of fans with complaints about how Kenny did stuff
NokieHokie • 04/03/24 08:09 PM ET
Take your blinders off & tell me what part of his post isn’t true?**
Hoakie82 • 04/03/24 07:30 PM ET
Because it is a small-minded comment that shows a lack of intelligence...
jesuisvtguy • 04/03/24 10:54 PM ET
UK WBB isn’t a bigger program and by all accounts he was offered more money
vatechcowpatty • 04/03/24 08:05 PM ET
The part that typecast all VT fans and admin. in one fell swoop**
GCHokieof91 • 04/03/24 08:02 PM ET
It is true. But the way he left when he had a strong team and a great class
kwnock • 04/03/24 07:57 PM ET
Not every VT fan wants to poach MU players
Marooned • 04/03/24 07:51 PM ET
