Maybe he will finally win. Amazing he hasn’t.
November 21st, 2018 at 1:08 AM ^
Congrats to Don Brown! For making Runyan and Bushell-Beatty good tackles, Warinner deserves a seat at the head table!

Don Brown says, "Cool. Hook Em."
November 21st, 2018 at 12:22 PM ^
That's a "Two chicks at the same time" shocker

The list of 15 semi-finalists will be cut back to 5 finalists on Dec 4th. No doubt we're looking at two games in which our defense needs to be dominant in victory for Coach Brown to make the next cut.

Coach’s face is white hot there - almost whiter than the jerseys and you even lose the stache now and then. Whooooo. I can feel that scream thru the screen. Sucks to be Metellus who gets the stare immediately after.
November 21st, 2018 at 12:03 PM ^
Coach Brown doesn't give you the death stare if he doesn't believe in you.
November 21st, 2018 at 2:13 AM ^
Not a more deserving asst. coach in the country. Sure hope he gets the recognition he deserves.

If M makes it to, and has a good showing in the CFP I think Don Brown wins the award this year.
November 21st, 2018 at 5:54 AM ^
Don Brown was a finalist in 2016 also (as was Mattison in 2011).
November 21st, 2018 at 6:46 AM ^
He reminds me of Mickey from Rocky.
"You're gonna eat lightnin' and you''e gonna crap thunder!"
He fires up anything and everything. The man is awesome and I hope his D whoops on everyone ?
November 21st, 2018 at 9:59 AM ^
True!
But Don Brown would have beat the shit out of Clubber Lang for that weak-ass shove in the back.
November 21st, 2018 at 7:37 AM ^
CFP, or not, this man has earned this award several times over. A damn shame he hasn't won it, yet. He's coordinated the #1 defense in the nation for 3 of the last four years - including his last year at BC.
HE COORDINATED THE BEST DEFENSE IN THE NATION FOR 3-9 BOSTON FUCKING COLLEGE!!!
How the hell hasn't he won this yet?

November 21st, 2018 at 9:54 AM ^
He should win the Super Bowl MVP, the Cy Young, and the United States Presidency.
November 21st, 2018 at 8:11 AM ^
Well it’s about time!
November 21st, 2018 at 8:48 AM ^
He should win this year and he truly deserves it. The only other person who should get a look is a guy the SEC borrowed from the B10 in Dave Aranda. But Brown would get my vote if I had one.
November 21st, 2018 at 9:10 AM ^
And the B10 borrowed Aranda from the Mountain West (Utah St. and Hawaii).
Like most coordinators, Aranda has lived a vagabond life bouncing through a slew of different universities and conferences.
November 21st, 2018 at 12:05 PM ^
How did he not win it in 2015 when he had a top 5 defense at Boston College?
November 21st, 2018 at 12:20 PM ^
ABOUT FREAKIN TIME...should rename it to the "Don Brown Award"
That team got "Don Browned" should be a thing
November 21st, 2018 at 1:39 PM ^
None of those other coaches could hold Coach Brown's jock. However he probably will not win the award because these awards are typically political, with voting by pencil necked geeks who never played the game, but consider themselves to be "experts" on it.
