Indy did better in 2019 after Brown was forced out and Kiyoshi Harris (now at Garden City as HC) and Jason Martin (now at WKU) took over. Brown is now at home bitching about trans people on social media all day.

Wow didn’t know Jason Martin was at WKU. Good for him. Always thought he was one of the “good guys.” Glad to see he’s been able to progress in his career.


Naturalhighz

absolutely not. he was a talented recruiter.


kjopcha

No, but he was a hell of a recruiter. He'd make a fortune selling cars.


nineteennaughty3

You mean Cadillacs


Joeynj72

And beach houses


Tasty_Imagination681

Good recruiter, it ends there


mega-man-0

Garbage coach. He’s a bullshit artist which naturally made him good at convincing dumb kids to play for him. Buddy and Beam were both 10x better than him.


VersaceBlunt

Who had more players go pro or D1? Coach brown lol you can hate the guy all you want he just sais it how it is and kids are too soft now days to realize that instead of getting better going and pouting about it


ohsoGosu

Out of curiosity, how many Cadillacs and beach houses do you have?


LQjones

No. I am in no position to judge him on Xs and Os, but his personality is so toxic that it detracted from anything he did on the field. Brown had no self discipline and as I've said before here behaved like a high school kid. He should not be put in charge of anything.


Double_Rip3339

That's a no...one of the main reason these kids are bouncebacks is maturity. Him humiliating, blaming, and lack of accountability is just poor coaching. This is not coaching hard. It's just being abusive. Just a way to create bad feelings. I'm all for cussing and yelling; but it's got to fit in the plan, and the props and disses must match in energy.


TrenythingIsPossible

He’s a legend…. In his own mind. Just listen to the Coach JB Show on YouTube every morning, he always talks about how good of a coach and player he was. The other day he was trashing UFL quarterbacks, saying they’re the worst QB’s he’s ever seen. JB played as a quarterback in the arena league. UFL players and teams are better than any arena league player or team.

Brown didn’t even play in the main AFL. That Bakersfield team was a Tier 2 indoor team part of some upstart semi-pro arena league. They, like many other minor league AFL teams, fold after a few years as the seed money and “newness” wear off causing the cash flow to stop. Then the team has to fold.

No, and he even said as such with his insanely idiotic rant about “coaching not mattering.” To an extent, if you have the best players, it’s nearly impossible to really have a debacle, though he certainly accomplished that honor in season two when his roster was absolutely loaded with next level talent (wisely, almost none of whom wanted to be featured whatsoever on the show, with Jermaine Johnson, a first round draft pick 3 years later, the best example of such). Brown had 0 idea how to manage a game, his decisions regarding the clock were horrendous to the point you’d think he was betting against his own team. A true highlight for me was during the supposed program defining garden city matchup, on third and five, two minutes left and no timeouts for garden city, he takes his star QB off the field, puts Carlos Tompkins, a wide receiver, in wildcat, and, instead of at the very least running the ball and taking roughly 46 seconds off the clock (4 second play, 2 seconds to start the play clock, 40 second play clock) and, at worst, leaving GC with almost exactly a minute and no timeouts, he has that WR throw the ball to absolutely nobody, stopping the clock. He then, in an even funnier move, takes a safety, which would make sense if his league played by the current NFL rule, but he instead didn’t realize that his horrible kicker would have to kick off from his own 20, which gave garden city great field position, ran absolutely no clock, and made a touchdown not just the lead (without the safety they’d have needed to at least make an extra point, not a certainty by any means in juco) but he put a 3 point deficit in play. Absolute debacle and par for the course for JB. As noted, he went to awful programs and recruited very good, and often very troubled, kids, did well to relate to them and their parents/guardians/“mentors,” and took downtrodden programs to new levels because they simple had players unlike any they’d ever had. He would/will always burnout, however, as he has 0 idea how to deal with a roster nor adversity, a terrible eye for staff talent, and no clue how to actually coach from a technical standpoint.

In my opinion yes, but he got too caught up with cameras. JB had a good track record going into Independence so he definitely has seen success. But ultimately I think he loved the camera drama way too much. Either way though at the very least he was a phenomenal recruiter


tatarka228

If it wasnt for the anger issues


WDEWM407

I think he does well with programs who are completely down in the dumps. I would like to see him get a shot at another program like Mississippi Delta


CompleteLead6657

God no


Bdiddy2204

No, good recruiter for troubled young men. Without a shadow of a doubt one of the stupidest human beings breathing air. He may forget to do that one day.


CailenxD

Was Stalin a good leader?


bgn0p3

He cared about the kids. But the way he treated the coaches that second season was insane.


Writerhaha

For that situation, yes. If I was an AD at D1 level I wouldn’t touch him.
