Coach Brennan Booth loves the game of football.  He has A1 league coaching experience but someday would like to head back to coaching high school ball.  If the opportunity presents itself, Booth, like many Thunder players, has expressed an interest to jump to A1 Arena League if and when the opportunity may present itself.

The Thunder named Booth interim Head Coach when the fired Mike Hold four weeks ago.  Unfortunately, Booth couldn’t create enough magic in that short of a time to retain the Head Coaching duties and Chris MacKeown was brought on to replace Booth as a permanent move.  Booth made enough of a positive impression with management to retain a coaching spot as Thunder Defensive Coordinator.  Former Tennessee QB Andy Kelly, who served as Offensive Coordinator under Booth was the odd man out and released by Thunder management.

Coach Booth keeps busy saying,  “I like to get a good workout in.  It’s a good way to rid aggression between practice and films “.  Booth also said he catches episodes of Rescue Me and The First 48 when he has a chance.  He has a special way with the players, and more importantly, their respect. 

Coach Booth roots for teams all over the place because he has been so many different places.  He said he is a huge Phillies fan and was proud when they won the World Series last year.  He also roots for the Atlanta Hawks, as he call Duluth, Georgia home for now.

I liked the way Coach Booth presented himself to the public.  He gave me his cell number and told me if there was ever a question or something I needed to call him, and he meant it.  After my initial meeting, I figured I would have to reintroduce myself several times, but the second time I met the guy, he walked up to me, shook my hand, and asked me how the website was going.

Class act, hope he stays with the Thunder at any capacity.
