Subject: Re: Brown - Curnell Author: Grin and Bear it [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] Date Posted: 22:05:05 10/25/25 Sat In reply to: Sr. Punter 's message, "Brown - Curnell" on 15:19:28 10/25/25 Sat In the 1960s Brown could not get out of its way. So they hired a man named Len Jardine to coach. Jardine did much to upgrade the Brown personnel, but he couldn't win. In fact, his teams always snatched defeat from the jaws of victory, much like what happened today. After 6 miserable years, Jardine was replaced by John Anderson. And a strange thing began to happen, Brown started to win, something they had done in 15 years. In fact, they had 8 straight winning seasons under Anderson. What is important to note is that Anderson began to win with the players Jardine recruited, not his own recruits. So why was Anderson an immediate success and Jardine a failure? Why? because it doesn't take a good coach forever to win. A good coach knows how to recruit, motivate, strategize, and lead. It is actually quite rare to find all of these traits in one person. I am not sure which of these traits Perry lacks, but it is obvious that something is missing. And I can't really see the situation getting better under Perry. Why? Because if the program were heading in the right direction, the results would already be showing. They're not. Is it time to start looking for a new coach? I think so.

[> [> [> Subject: Re: Brown - Curnell Author: Grin and Bear it (Glenn/Correct) [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 17:29:59 10/27/25 Mon Glenn: I have no doubt that you are correct in assuming that Perry will be around next year. But that doesn't mean he should be. When Al Bagnoli took over Columbia, Columbia had not won since Christopher Columbus arrived in the new world. But by year 3, Columbia achieved an 8-2 record and in the next four years they had 3 winning seasons. When Perry took over, Brown was down. But it was nothing like the wreck that Bagnoli inherited at Columbia. Yet in 3 years, Bagnoli had resurrected that moribund program. A good coach, and Bagnoli was among the best, doesn't need 10 years to achieve a winning record. It is now year 6 for Perry and he is still floundering. Perry was one of the greatest QBs in the ivy league, he was a great offensive coordinator for Princeton, yet he is flop as a head coach. Those who think he is going to turn Brown around are merely whistling past the graveyard. After all it is Halloween.
