Fran Brown

[CuseBlood44]

Hope I'm very wrong but I have a feeling this guy is gonna be like greg robinson only no children stories lmao!

I can’t believe people are justifying this because we will retain some players and coaches. You guys really think chesney wouldn’t do the same?

Doug Marrone - P5 and NFL position coach. 2 years being Payton’s OC. Game plan, not play calling

An underrated thing here is that even the most dim witted posters can’t misspell this guys name.

He’ll keep Nunz on the staff for sure. So that’s a plus I guess.

Nunz better not be the OC. He needs a serious hire for an OC.

It's nothing at all against Beck. But with Fran's lack of experience, we need as much experience as possible with the X's and O's. I don't know if Beck is that guy.

Also, why would Dino be holding him back on play calling? That's a weird narrative I've seen that doesn't make a ton of sense for a guy like Dino that was trying to save his job.

Because Dino got weird on us.

 

[Capt. Tuttle]

Dude looks like a guy kids will want to play for.

If that's your opinion why the hate for Rocky? You won't find a more experienced and proven DC

If this is so, then why are we the only ones going after him? I've looked into our record, we aren't that much smarter than everyone else.

 

[OttoinGrotto]

Yup

This is legitimately the most forward thinking move with HC we could have made.

I'm honestly a little shocked.

 

[qdawgg]

Now that would be hilarious. Are we talking 10 wins though? I could life with that lol.

lol, getting into top 25 I could get behind.

 

[IthacaBarrel]

Here's the thing - we're in the portal era now.

Missing on a guy the first time isn't necessarily the end of it.

Brown isn't going to stop the factories from getting great players.

But what he is going to do is put us in excellent position to be their second stop.

And, he's going to upgrade our own highschool recruiting too.

I mean think about a lot of kids he recruited the past 2-3 years that hit the portal from all over as well. Solid network

 

[Nick44]

Yeah, what I'm banking on at this point is he absolutely crushed the interview in that regard, and knows how big of an opportunity he has here. There's a lot I like about him as a coach and recruiter, and his character stands for a lot too.

I'm just really concerned about how big of a step up this is.

This is nothing against Fran, it just screams like a Hail Mary hire after missing out on the 3-4 candidates you had higher on the list.

 

[USMCSnyper]

SOB…I’m in. Let’s go, Fran!

Brown is the new Orange.

 

[qdawgg]

I would gladly welcome that scenario because it would mean we had a winning season and got the program back on track.

I’m not saying I’d have an issue with it. Just would find it funny. Also some buyout $ won’t be bad either

 

[SanDiegoCuse]

Go look at what Stan Drayton (former cuse coach) is doing to Temple. He is 6-18 and also was an “elite recruiter.” How is this going to be any different?

Isn’t Stan like 100 years old now?

 

[tep624]

I don’t really care about retaining players or coaches.

But here’s the deal. If what Dino was doing wasn’t an acceptable level of success (6-7 wins a season), then the point of all of this is to aim higher than that. And how you do that is by bringing in talent. Period. And I personally struggle with how Chesney is going to do that, especially if he carries over most of his HC staff. It’s not going to be that much different than Dino carrying over his BG staff except at least those guys coached at the FBS level.

Fran Brown at a minimum has major recruiting connections in all of our key areas and he will build a staff of P5 experienced coaches because he has built up some solid P5 connections over the years.

So for me, I’d rather take the risk on that profile who hasn’t been a HC yet vs the career HC who’s not even coached at the FBS level or recruited kids at the P5 level. We need talent!

I don’t know who Graham Covid or Covfefe is but I’m starting to come around to this hire.

Tomorrow around 4, something will happen and we’ll all have to get back on the Chesney short bus.

 

[Brian Orange]

I'm sorry but I see a lot of people talking themselves into this hire. This time last week we were bosting about playing "big boy football" with Mullen, Golden, etc. Now we hire a DB coach and everyone is pumped about it. I get the recruiting angle here but to me this is exactly the type of coach we didn't want this time last week.

Wildhack betting his career on two unknowns in Autry and now Fran Brown is some type of gamble for him. Hope he's right on one of them.

 

[Cusefan69]

Reaction gif paired with your handle...

Doesn't check out.

Let's be honest here.

Ahhhh…..you presuppose my handle represents one thing when it actually represents my dob. I get that sometimes.

 

[FRANKIEFAN]

Letting him be the CEO and recruit while the OC and DC run their units might work out.

I just am feeling too much uncertainty here but we'll see.
