Egos alone chase coaches out of schools like UMD in most cases. Money will be there from most schools if there comes a point he is actually in demand. Wasn't last year a more senior laden team for UMD...but they still have RU...and probably MSU again this year.
FWIW - just one guy's opinion:
I thought that Brown was the most "improved" guy in the BW Game (performance there, vs what he looked like in 2016)
Both in his physical "look", as well as his decisiveness (confidence?) in attacking his assignments.
I don't think that is the case. Just like at Oregon, UMD is going to pay okay but not top money for a coach.
I thought he was boom or bust. WAY more confidence which is great to see, but I saw him get caught in the wrong place a number of times. Hey, he is young, that will happen, but he definitely needs to clean it up and be more consistent.
But it is relative to where he is trying to convice kids come. His only selling point is proximity for DMV kids, as there is little to no football tradition at MD. If he can get 3 and some 5 star kids there, without success/tradition, then imagine if he were at a traditional top twenty program.
Actually, they do have SOME history.
2 National Championships on the 1950's (ie - since 1950 they have as many football National Championships as Pitt and Michigan......combined
)And - the only era in recent times when they had decent coaches, Claiborne and Ross - they went 106 Wins to 46 Losses from 1973 - 1985.
They were top 15 in winning percentage in the country over that span
9 of those 13 years they were in the top TWENTY (remember, it used to be just 20 teams "ranked", not 25)
And, later, with Friedgen, they had three straight 10+ win seasons
Their problem is they went through a bevy of shitty head coaches for a 15-20 year span
If this new guy IS a solid head coach (that is yet to be definitively determined) they will rise to be a regular top-25 level program....... I'd bet on that.

I really don't give a shit. The number for the current academic year went down from the previous one. Note how your Athletic Director of the Year didn't trumpet that in blaring headlines.
He's not getting the fact that the APR score posted on NCAA.org for each year are 4 year averages that include that year and the 3 prior years. That's why PSU's is only 969 in the report just released. And I'm just referring to football program.
Apparently it is a lost skill to start a separate thread for things that have nothing to do with the thread title. Go ahead and have your discussions, I have no problem with that. Just start another thread when the topic is Pitt/Ohio State/Athletic Director etc. Is it so hard?
Why don't you look up the information that is consistent with the article that PearlSUJam cited, since you decided to barge in on a discussion between him and me?
And you're not getting the fact that in order for a four-year average to be calculated data is collected for each discrete year and is also available on the NCAA's site. Or maybe finding it is just beyond your ability. Imagine that.
Maybe if you wouldn't be whining about our AD in a recruiting thread, this wouldn't be an issue.
Dude take it somewhere else.
Can we burn this thread? Let's start a new 2018 recruiting thread and lock out all the 12 year old girls that just swipe at eachother?
Since you didn't notice, I was done with this little digression on Monday. As far as I'm concerned, I'm done again unless someone else brings it up again.
Hate to take this thread off topic and post recruiting info but . . .

$$ article, but big return visit from Mustipher
If his family is coming with him, watch out. Smells like a potential commit alert to me.
Does anyone else recall the vitriol directed at Lamont Wade from the Pitt geniuses when he committed? Too small, not a big time player, couldn't compete with the likes of a top prospect like their own Paris Ford. Looks like they didn't get either one. Of course, The Lair says that PSU would never have a non-qualifier, we have a "system" in place.....LOL.
PSU does have a system in place...try to avoid them. PSU very well still could have one this year and has a few like DC or others that went another route to get in. Most coaches in a good spot will ask to see progress or walk away. Desperate coaches don't have that choice and will take the commit even if there isn't a prayer of the kid qualifying that year...see Adam McLean for example. PSU laid out some things for him to do...instead he was out seeing the world and Edsall said that was just fine so he jumped.
