    Independence dude, and I don't think it's even close.

    On field...no doubt...In terms of the whole personality package Buddy Stephens is probably just as bad if not worse, but he's got a better system of protection around him.

    I don't know man.

    Independence guy seems a lot like the idiot travel football coaches I've seen. They're big on "hype" and yelling platitudes really loudly, but when it comes to individual technique and team tactics, they come up wayyyyyyyyyyyyy short.

    Oh on the field and teaching Brown and most of his staff was shit. They just aren't good coaches and they horribly mismanaged their roster.

    As for just being a dick Buddy Stephens is going to battle with Brown for that title. Stephens is every bit the hypocritical insufferable asshole.

    But one guy was jumping into a program that the city wants to shitcan and the other guy was very established at a program that the town cherishes and wanted to protect at all costs.

    You can tell a lot about a coach by the way a practice is run - on the off chance you even get to fucking watch them anymore.
    Brown was a mess emotionally, his practices were shit shows and he proved over and over he couldn't control a sideline.
    Maybe coordinator material or motivational speaker but a head coach at any level he is not.

    I only watched one coach emasculate one of his assistants in front of a team and cameras, and it wasn’t Jason Brown.

    I hope he can get a real apartment or a house now, and get his family out of that cinder block bunker.
    He seemed like the best guy in the program, though, so good luck to him.

    Buddy Stephens is a total piece of shit. He had so many resources that the other LCU coaches didn't have not counting the money he gets off the books from those SEC programs. He ran off the academic advisor, who did everything in her power to get those kids qualified. He shit on his top assistant and ran him off the team. Between him and Rush Prospt it's hard to find bigger assholes in football at any level.

    Good for Martin. They should go back to Indy then, see how a contrast in styles will go over.
