Re: Coach Don Brown

Listening to Don Brown talk about his players makes it clear why these guys play so hard for him and is clear why recruiting comes so easy for him. Here he is talking about a guy who is not even on his unit, Will Plummer, today.

Win or not, Jedd Fisch is still an awful offensive coach just like every stop he has ever made. Anyone saying otherwise is just in denial. I do think he could turn this thing around if he give up his play calling duties and gets someone who actually knows what they are doing.
