Ron Brown hired by Pelini?

<< < (5/6) > >>

YSUGO:
He is a football coach first with an impressive track record and I don't care that he is a man of strong faith in God! With the lack of luck the last 2 Coaches had maybe Coach Brown will be our ace in the hole with God! We need all the help we can get!

OleYSUfan:
I thought this board was for sports information on YSU, but it surely has eroded.

I like what I am reading, Sounds like a good coach, a good man and respected by those around him.

After reading many of the Husker Boards, this guy was a polarizing  figure. Worse , his anti- gay crusade drew the ACLU into town. He lost a public fight with City Council who passed favorable gay friendly legislation. One  board said the word was Bo and YSU administration ( Tressel ?) had agreed he could evangelize as he did in Neb. And if that is the case, get ready for a visit from the ACLU. This guy is poison. Football is second to him with his discriminatory preaching. And, the Boards had a few with strong belief that the poisonous religion positions is one reason he wasn't kept on as a coach as they no longer wanted to deal with his "publicity"  problem. Youngstown  may be back in the national news soon for "other reasons" than football.......lol. Just read all the boards on Brown.

Penguin Nation:
Coach Brown has a First Amendment right to speak about his faith. It even specifies that he has the right of "free exercise" of his religion.  He does not have the right to provide consequences if others don't accept his faith or have other religious beliefs. There is no record of him doing that.

I have very different views on LGBT issues, but he is entitled to advocate for his beliefs, as misguided as they are.

So the question is, can he be an effective running backs coach at YSU?  Based on the info at hand, the answer is yes.
