LEXINGTON - The sarcasm level of coach Rich Brooks often is a good barometer of the state of Kentucky football, so judging by his quips Friday, things are looking up.

In a wide-ranging news conference, the coach of the Music City Bowl champions joked about possible departures to the National Football League, his own contract and Nick Saban's return to the Southeastern Conference to lead Alabama.

But, he saved some of his best lines for remarks about the resurrection of his own image in Lexington now that his team has tasted success by beating Clemson for its first bowl win since 1984.

"If I were he, I would redshirt and try to be the starting quarterback in two years," Brooks said.



Brooks truly likes Pulley as a QB. He wants Pulley to have two years of eligibility to compete for the starting QB job. I know that he will let Pulley make the decision, but I think Brooks' opinion should carry huge weight for Pulley.

Especially since CRB is such a straight-shooter.
