He was 65. The beloved Brooks – referred to by most as “C.B.” – originally joined the organization in 2005 and served 11 seasons as defensive line coach. This past spring, while undergoing intense treatment for his illness, he transitioned into a senior defensive assistant role, but still spent as much time as he possibly could working with players and fellow coaches, including during the Ravens’ recent training camp. Brooks was a 24-year NFL coaching veteran and one of six assistant coaches retained by head coach John Harbaugh upon his 2008 Baltimore arrival. In addition to the Ravens, “C.B.” coached for the Miami Dolphins (2000-04), Cleveland Browns (1999) and Chicago Bears (1993-98). Brooks also spent 17 years in the collegiate ranks holding coaching positions at Arizona (1990-92) – where he was instrumental in the notable “Desert Swarm” defense that led the nation in scoring defense in 1992 – Syracuse (1981- 89) and his alma mater Massachusetts (1976-80). During Brooks’ Baltimore tenure as defensive line coach (2005-15), the Ravens allowed the NFL’s fewest rushing touchdowns (89), second-fewest points per game (18.9) and the league’s second-fewest rushing yards per game (94.2).
