Anybody know anything about Corwin Brown i think he played at UM. I know he's the DB coach for the jets. I know the jets played an agressive style of defense which blitz alot. I think CW was out in long island, and talk to the Mangini and brown about brown being the new DC. Anybody have info about him?

I haven't found much other than the typical bios on nfl.com or jets websites. I know he played for the Pats, and Parcells called him the toughest man he's ever coached.

over on B&G they said that their is a press conference set up today (Jan. 12th) at 3:00 pm, does anyone know anything about this. also on B&G one poster is saying that corwin brown is going to be our new DC.

This is a nice hire. Corwin Brown is a hard nosed tough sob. He doesn't accept failure and will push his players to be the best they can. He is none for teaching DB's to relax when the ball is in the air and not panic and make contact with the receiver. He teaches bump and run and that the defense is entitled to the ball. He is young, energetic and african american and supposed to be one hell of a recruiter. And is from the New England coaching tree.

Well that's the University's plane that took Weis to San Antonio for the coaches conf...looks like Weis flew to NY after it...check it out.

Welcome to DD wrover

I sure hope it was to hire the NY Giants former DC because Brown is not ready to be a DC. He has three years of coaching experience all as a DB coach.

Yeah, I'm a little worried about hiring a young Defensive Coordinator too. Especially with the way it feels like Charlie only really coaches the offense.

 

One other concern is that this will probably take a while to turn our defensive recruiting around. Recruits probably won't get excited about playing for Brown until they see how his defenses will perform, and it probably take some time for him to get the current defense turned around.

 

Then again, Charlie is a big believer in speaking to his peers. Maybe everybody he's talked to has said that this guy is a phenom.

I heard about Corwin Brown yesterday afternoon before IE and II came out with it, and Mike Frank confirmed that he is Charlie's choice.

 

Law, I think he is a great hire. Despite his inexperience (3 years ST coach at UVA, 3 years as D-back coach for Jets), he has learned from the best, and was a safety for 7 or 8 years in the NFL. The man knows a lot about defense and coaching. And whatever his inexperience with scheme is, Bill Lewis can help. He has been a DC and head coach before.

 

And besides that, his intangibles are great. His aggressiveness, motivation, and personality will be perfect for this defense.

 

We better get him!

I dont think that will matter! I think what matters is the system he will employ and if the players buy into it! You can be the best defensive co-ordinator in the world but if the players dont buy into your system you might as well pound salt! Michigan bought into what Ron English was selling and look what happened to them! We need a young energetic guy to handle this side of the ball and to also help in recruiting. It seems like lately these are the types of guys the young players want to play for. We need young blood!

People were excited about the Ken Norton Jr. as DC rumors a few days ago. This guy has better experience than him. UCLA hired a young position coach this year, look what that did for their defense.

 

Brown is coming from the marquee coaching tree in the NFL. Right now the Parcells coaching tree is spawning more success than the old Bill Walsh tree. This guy has played for and coached with some of the best.

 

He's young, aggressive and has a reputation for toughness. He has recruiting experience from UVA. He came out of the Chicago Public Leagues and could be the answer to Ron Zook in that area. Imagine having Tez in this class and a lock on Hughes. How much better would it look right now?

 

This seems like the jolt of energy that this program, especially the defense, needs right now. I think it's a good hire if true.

CW went after the UCLA DC and he was only a DB's coach last year, he is doing pretty well. Andy Reid was a quarterbacks coach before taking over as head coach. I am sure this guy knows what he is doing or CW wouldn't hire him, he knows him very well.

I believe Ron English only had 4 years experience, all as DB coach. I'd take him as a DC...

Yeah, it will be nice to see them BOTH coaching our DBs. Of course who is going to coach our LBs?

I assume he will hire someone, but I'm not sure. Maybe he or Lewis will coach LBs. You don't necessarily have to have been an LB coach before to be a good one.

That remains to be seen. But good coaches are good coaches. I'd bet Brown could get something out of the linebackers in spite of being a DB coach and playing safety. Heck, Charlie's known as a QB guru in spite of never having played the position and breaking into the NFL as a TE coach.
