Brooks decision announced Monday

Kentucky football coach Rich Brooks could announce Monday whether he's going to stay with the team. Brooks had told his Wildcats after they lost to Clemson on Dec. 27 in the Music City Bowl that he was "80 percent" sure he would not return in 2010.

The Lexington Herald-Leader reported Sunday that Brooks spent his time since then in Lexington, mulling over his options with family and friends. Other close to the situation say Brooks will make an announcement Monday.

In an interview with the Herald-Leader and The Courier-Journal, UK athletic director Mitch Barnhart said he wanted Brooks to return.

The 68-year-old Brooks led the Wildcats to a 7-6 record this season and 39-47 mark in seven seasons.
