Geoff Collins Coached Fran Brown as a Player. Now Brown’s a Head Coach. #cfb #collegefootball

“I wanted to try to breathe life into other young men as I’m getting blessed to coach ’em.”
There’s a specific kind of pride in watching a player you coached become a coach himself — and you can hear it as Geoff Collins talks about Fran Brown.
Collins coached Brown as a player at Western Carolina and made him a captain. Two decades later, Brown is the head coach at Syracuse coming off a 10-win season. This is the part of coaching that doesn’t show up in the box score — the relationships and the lives you touch.
This is why you coach.
