Brown said he's excited to represent the ACC and the University at the Holiday Bowl.

“I’m thankful for our fans…”

Brown says placing No. 21 in the CFP rankings fell short of his goals, but he is excited for the opportunity to potentially finish with 10 wins.

"We're going to have some players go in the portal, some by choice, some by handshake."

Fran Brown on players who don't go about entering the portal the right way (meaning, telling the coaches up front): "To me you're a snake, and I don't want to be around a snake. And what do you do with a snake? Cut it off at the head."

"This is the first game of next year." Says seniors will show younger guys how to lead during this game

“Kyle McCord. I think Kyle’s playing. If we’re gonna have a football game, Kyle’s playing in the football game.”

When asked about Jakhari Williams, Brown says, "Kyle McCord is our quarterback."

Brown won't detail if anyone has opted out and indicates he wants everyone to play. "We don't opt out around here. We play football."

"We recruited size and speed." - Brown on his 2025 recruiting class.

Fran Brown says he has not spoken to former Texas A&M quarterback Conner Weigman, who is in the transfer portal.

"I'm looking for a winner," Brown on trying to replace McCord.

“There’s a lot of guys that’s going to be leaving. There’s some linemen about to be leaving. It’s about the S. If you don’t fit our culture, then you shouldn’t stay here.”

“We’re going to do what’s best for the S.”

Fran Brown on his relationship with Dabo Swinney: “He’s a good dude… They took full advantage of their opportunity… It’s good to be able to call a guy that’s won a bunch of championships…”

“GO DAWGS.”

If he doesn't call on Veronica Corningstone for the first question, I've lost all faith in the man.

Every time I think about that scene all I can do is hear David Koechner aka Champ Kind making the rocket sound. Kills me every time

 

[690West]

Only thing I've noticed this year is Fran couldn't care less about the D in DART when it comes to being on time for these presssers. lol

 

[storange]

How many “Anchorman “ references will ll we get before the 27th ….. Over/Under 200 ??

 

[RyanCuse44]

Someone just asked if Kyle was playing and Fran was pretty adamant that he's playing.

Also sounded as if the rest of the guys were going to play too, but we'll see.

 

[orangepassion]

Mccord is gonna play. Someone post the Jimmy Chitwood Hoosiers "he's gonna play" meme.

 

[GeauxSU]

Kyle is possibly playing per HCFB

 

[690West]

Kyle is possibly playing per HCFB

He didn't even say possibly. It was 100%. I don't believe it, but this will be fun.

 

[storange]

Which is it “ he was s POSSIBLY or HE is DEFINITELY???????

 

[storange]

He didn't even say possibly. It was 100%. I don't believe it, but this will be fun.

That can’t be true , some of our regular posters guaranteed us he wasn’t playing yesterday !!!

 

[orangepassion]

Fran definitely doesn't sound like he's just handing the job to Jakhari

 

[SU in Hershey]

So, with Kyle playing, who's going to the pre-game Pants Party?

 

[OrangeXtreme]

Daniel Larussa is gonna fight !!
