Brooks went 183-207 in five seasons with the Wizards, making the playoffs three times. This past season, the team made it to the play-in tournament before clinching the eighth seed in the Eastern Conference.
Throughout his head coaching career, Brooks has a record of 521-414 with a playoff record of 49-48.
He made it to the NBA Finals as the head coach of the Oklahoma City Thunder in 2012, losing to the Miami Heat in five games in the championship round.
With Washington facing uncertainty regarding the future of Bradley Beal, it will certainly be interesting to see who the organization ends up hiring to lead them next season and beyond.
