TALLAHASSEE, Florida -- Parker Brooks wants to bring some of the energy of his home town to Florida A&M.That’s good news for Rattlers fans. Brooks was raised in Tuscaloosa, Alabama, home of the University of Alabama Crimson Tide.
Alabama’s football program has been one of the best in the nation for years. Several coaches have contributed to the team’s success, but strength and conditioning coach Scott Cochran has been a key piece of the staff since he arrived in 2007.
Brooks – who worked with Cochran for six years before coming to Florida A&M – said the school’s football program is “on the bubble” in terms of strength and conditioning. He plans to bring a “competitive environment,” similar to Alabama’s, to Florida A&M.
“I don’t think anybody just came in and kicked our butt in the first half of the football games,” he said. “We lacked depth, but we don’t lack passion. We’ve got some fiery guys in here. All we need is a little more depth and a little bigger guys.”
