Fran Brown Is Starting Syracuse's Football Turnaround With Four Words

Brown’s mantra is simple: “Effort, toughness, and discipline.” He has emphasized these three things since he arrived at Syracuse, and the players have bought in.

“Coach Brown has brought a new level of intensity to our defense,” said senior linebacker Stefon Thompson. “He expects us to play hard, play tough, and play disciplined, and that’s what we’re doing.”

The results on the field speak for themselves. Syracuse’s defense has allowed just 14 points per game in its last four contests, and the Orange have forced eight turnovers during that span.

“Coach Brown has made a big difference,” said head coach Dino Babers. “He has our players playing with more confidence and passion, and that’s showing up on the field.”

Brown’s impact is expected to continue in the years to come. He has recruited some talented players to Syracuse, and he is developing the players he has. The future looks bright for Syracuse football, and Brown is a big reason why.

“I’m excited about the future of Syracuse football,” said Brown. “We have a lot of young talent, and we’re building something special here. I’m confident that we can continue to improve and compete for championships.”
