Brown is winning the week, no question. It sounds like we can count on him sticking around for the next decade or so, which is a pleasant surprise. (And one I’m taking with a grain of salt, given how things played out with Marrone.) Here are my two biggest observations: 1. Maybe becoming a coordinator isn’t always the best stepping stone to head coaching. Brown’s leadership style isn’t about getting into the weeds. He wants to build relationships and character. He’s relying on Robinson and the OC as the subject matter experts. As long as Brown is capable of making the right in-game decisions, he already has the tools he needs to be a successful head coach. A coordinator position would have been a waste of time for him, if not a roadblock. I’ll buy it. 2. He loves recruiting and intends to continue recruiting. I think that’s great…unless it becomes a crutch. He still needs to grow as a leader and expand his overall knowledge. Will his commitment to recruiting get in the way? Gregg Popovich wasn’t a HOF head coach when he took over that position with the Spurs. (His experience was as a GM and he fired a pretty good coach in Bob Hill.) In the early going, he surrounded himself with great basketball minds and learned from them. So I’m wondering how much Brown is willing and able to learn on the job. The last coach we hired who wasn’t even a Coordinator was Coach P, who had a very good decade here before things slipped. This is a bit against the grain, but perhaps it’s what we need. I’m excited about these visits and the buzz, but if we actually start reeling in major recruits, I’m losing my mind with excitement.

The yearly total from subscriptions the last 3-4 days is about 60k or so. Should be enough to help get at least 1 player in and that’s not counting 1 time donations and what not

Anyone worried that Penn State may ask Elijah Robison to become DC now that Manny Diaz took the Duke job?
I just hope they don’t ask as ERob couldn’t say no to his Alma mater.

I’m reading all the recruiting threads on Syrfan and I think people need to stop being so pessimistic about our prospects. Coach Brown told people to talk trash and be confident and you still have fans worried about every little thing and thinking we get nothing. Have some confidence

Coach Brown told people to talk trash and be confident and you still have fans worried about every little thing and thinking we get nothing. Have some confidence CNY is littered with George Costanza’s. Pessimistic and always expecting the worst.
