You're giving Brown to much credit. Here's his recruiting thus far..
16- Homer (already committed to Golden and they almost didn't honor his scholly)
17-Burns (whiffed horribly on the Maryland kid, slow played local guys and got caught with his pants down)
18-Lingard, Davis (nailed 2 the top 3 targets)
19-Crowley (looks like he's going to whiff on a 2nd back who's a legacy, slow played Wright, and failed on his top target Sanders)
The top RBs on the roster for the past 3 seasons he didn't recruit. Homer, Walton, and Dallas. Dallas was recruited by Dugans as a WR. He has to convert to RB because of Brown's failure to recruit sufficient talent at the RB position.
Brown's only contribution as the OC was using Dallas in the wildcat. Which is no longer part of the playbook. Travis Homer has somehow managed to lose his top end speed. Last years Homer would have scored a TD on that long run last night. Instead we settled for a FG. Dallas has put on 20lbs of weight and goes out of bounds rather than initiate any type of contact. We have yet to see the fastest man on the roster utilized in space.
Please explain what exactly Brown has done well? The only thing I can give him credit for is teaching them not to fumble.
McFarland's recruitment at the end was beyond shady, everyone knew that.
Also, his development of Deejay Dallas has been remarkable. We really only needed 1 RB this cycle given that we're likely returning everyone next season. And Wright is likely more of a Richt decision as he likes bigger RBs. You do realize that the staff needs Richt's approval for scholly offers?
