Good move by BC, bringing back Greg Brown. A former Eagles student-athlete, he was Jerry York’s top assistant for several years including three national championships.

The delay in the announcement could be that Brown was coaching the Dubuque Fighting Saints during their playoff run, though the rumored run at Leaman could have something to do with it, too.

Both BC and BU have signed top tier coaches this week. The rivalry will continue.

The loss of Brandvold along with at least one maybe two other coaches is very big.
