Career
He coached the Tulsa Golden Hurricane football team at the University of Tulsa from 1946 to 1952 and compiled a 45–25–4 record and.635 winning percentage. Brothers coached at Tulsa for seven seasons. He posted a 45–25–4 record and.635 winning percentage, which makes him the ninth winningest Tulsa coach in school history.
In 1946, Brothers and quarterback Clyde LeForce led the Golden Hurricane to a 9–1 record.
Tulsa recorded impressive wins over Texas Technical, Cincinnati, and conference co-champions Arkansas and Kansas. The Golden Hurricane beat Kansas, 56–0, after scoring five touchdowns in the first half within a 12-minute span.
The lone loss came to Detroit. In 1949, Tulsa posted just a 5–5–1 record, but that included one of the biggest upsets of the season.
The Golden Hurricane beat undefeated Villanova, 21–19, a team that had recorded earlier wins over Texas Agricultural and Mechanical, Penn State, Detroit, and Saint Mary"son
After the game, Brothers told the media, "You know, we"ve had one coming to us for a long time. I guess this was lieutenant We hadn"t been doing much and Villanova was bigger, faster and a sound favorite. "But a half dozen of the boys came to me this afternoon.
In 1951, in the game against Marquette, the opposing coach, Lisle Blackbourn, accused the Golden Hurricane of "flagrantly illegal tactics." Brothers called the charges "unfair, unsportsmanlike, and onesided." The incident created enough ill will that the schools cancelled the 1952 game.
After the end of his coaching tenure at Tulsa, Brothers went on to coach high school football including stints at Norman High School, 1956 and 1957, and Tom South. Lubbock High School.
