Don't care right now. I probably shouldn't still be pissed off about the bowl game, but I am.

We have lost some big hitters on the recruiting trail in the last 2 seasons.
D. Craig

McGriff

And we got Yes Man Kodi Burns and the football version of Bob Ross to replace them.

Three of his pupils; Deon Figures (Colorado, 1992), Chris Hudson (Colorado, 1994) and Gerod Holliman (Louisville, 2014) have won the Thorpe Award. Brown is the only coach to have ever coached three players that have won the Thorpe Award. In 2014, Holliman tied an NCAA record with 14 interceptions.
I believe Missouri led SEC in interceptions last year.
He and Steele were at Bama together in '13. Probably played a role in being hired.

Can you imagine being a dB from Miami and Kevin Steele and Greg Brown coming into your home to recruit you

Personally I would've liked to see us go younger... this feels kinda like Melvin Smith hire back when Gus was putting his staff together.
Recruiting probably isn't his strong suite... but the good news he should have some talent to work with.

If Gus is coaching for his life like everyone insists then who cares Posted on 1/7/17 at 9:03 pm to CaptainBrannigan

I'm convinced that unless we hired Nick Saban to be DB coach, then it was always going to be a terrible hire in some of yalls eyes

That is part of coaching. There is a large subsection of coaches with a career like Brown. Kevin Steele is an easy example. Petrino is another. Bucs HC Dirk Koetter is another.

I don't mind the hire. I think Gus took the easy route tho. We may have have missed on others like mcgee from UGA but we'll probably never know. My only concern is that we've lost 4 stud recruiters and haven't filled that void.
It wont matter though because Gus will be fired next year.

Love when people on here complain about contracts before they see the contract
Love when the same people that bitched about the McGriff hire are the ones that bitch when he leaves
Hire is whatever, I guess. It'd be nice to have a great DB recruiter since we've struggled to land big names at that position, but hopefully this guy's level of experience will help the staff.

Ironically:
Has helped lead to this:
Our fanbase fricking sucks right now and has for the last two years. What coach wants to come into a situation where the fans won't shut the frick up about firing a coach that just went to the Sugar Bowl, or took them to a national championship a few years back? i certainly wouldn't want to come into a situation where the fans are so rabid they want to chew up a good coach that is still winning games at a higher rate than they ever had.
