I wonder where he will end up. I met him at the coach's caravan last year. He was a really nice guy.

Hopefully this is because he got a better gig because I felt our secondary really made a positive step this year and hate to see him go.

There was def a positive step up, and some or all of it def had to do with the improvement on the DL.

Best wishes to Coach Brown.

Leaving for another job or just not coming back? We all know there is a difference.

Wishing Coach Brown all the best!

Well, Reffett had a dline that could do what he wanted for the most part.  With the graduations we have this year and the talent leaving, I am worried our defense could take huge steps back, especially since we're losing guys in all stages of defense with the front, the back, and the middle.

You could kinda see it happening on BTG as well.   
You see coach Koonz very active with his LBs.  You see coach Yellock very active with his DLs, but for any secondary "coach-up"s, they were always coming from Reff (granted, Safeties are his position to coach, but he was also coaching up Brooks & Hall pretty hard as well). 
Coach Brown was virtually silent.   I don't think this was a Coach Choice-like scenario.

Now the question is, who's going to replace him?

Exactly. Bert never says.

Anyone else missing Nate Brown right about now?

[cogido]

Even for CUSA the UNT defense is full of holes and gets bombed every game . Best of luck to all the nice guys,  but this system needs massive improvements.

I was really confused as to why he left the program. I think we all assumed at the time it was forced resignation but maybe that's not the case?

Valid point

Nope. Now, “anybody else missing Kemon Hall (who spent time on the Chargers practice squad) and Nate Brooks (who IS on the Patriots practice squad)” is a different question entirely.

I hope going from here to Townson State as a forced decision and not one he made.
