BG Adds Cornell Brown to Staff
BG lined up a new defensive line coach, and this guy has a long history of coaching and playing at the highest levels. His name is familiar--Cornell Brown.
He is still from the Loeffler-verse. He was an assistant at Virginia Tech with Scot. He also graduated from Virginia Tech, was a two-time All-American, and played for 7-years in the NFL and won a Super Bowl with the Ravens.
Last year he was with the New Orleans Breakers and the year before that the Calgary Stampeders. In college, it was Tarleton State, Marshall, Virginia Tech and Norfolk State.
You can see the details about the record at all these places here.
This was a key hire. The D-line is critical to any team's success and I think BG has done an excellent job developing talent at that position. It might be the area that most contributed to our 10-6 record in MAC play the last two years. Certainly, Brown has the credentials...love to see the results this year.

Great to have a veteran to work with such a great group. Amazing the role personal connections play in hiring; though not that it results in bad hires necessarily. Coach Rasool from Arizona was recommended by DVM and did an incredible job last year.
