Fran Brown
Francis Brown (born February 3, 1982) is an American college football coach and former cornerback who is currently the head football coach at Syracuse University. Previously, he served as the defensive backs coach at Georgia.
Brown was raised in Camden, New Jersey and graduated from Camden High School, where he set the school record as a quarterback with 47 touchdown passes.
Following his high school career at the Woodrow Wilson High School, Brown switched to cornerback and played with Hudson Valley Community College. He was recruited to Western Carolina by then linebackers coach Matt Rhule, and became a first-team All-SoCon selection and team captain. Following his time as a Catamount, Brown spent time with the Cincinnati Bengals during the 2007 and 2008 seasons on the practice squad.
After spending a year coaching at Paul VI Catholic High School, Brown joined Steve Addazio's staff at Temple as the Assistant Director of Internal Operations in 2011. During the 2012 season, Brown transitioned to a graduate assistant role in 2012 before becoming Temple's defensive backs coach on Matt Rhule's staff in 2013. Brown held that role until 2016, when he was added associate head coach responsibilities to his job description.
After the 2014 recruiting season, in which he signed a number of players including future pro Sean Chandler, Brown was named a top recruiter in the American Athletic Conference by Rivals.com.
Brown followed Rhule to Baylor where he served as the Bears' assistant head coach and defensive backs coach for the 2017 and 2018 seasons. During his time in Waco, Brown was considered Baylor's top recruiter.
Following the 2018 season, Brown interviewed for the head coaching job at Temple that eventually went to Manny Diaz. Diaz's first hire at Temple was to bring Brown in as assistant head coach and co-defensive coordinator. After 17 days, Diaz left Temple to return to Miami for the head coaching job. Brown interviewed for the Temple head coaching job, but it eventually went to Rod Carey. Carey kept Brown on the Owls coaching staff as the co-defensive coordinator.
After Rutgers brought back coach Greg Schiano for the 2020 season, he hired Brown to be the team’s secondary coach.
