How He Changed Syracuse Football Overnight

Syracuse coach Fran Brown joins Adam Breneman for a conversation about how he transformed the football program in Year 1. From being counted out in the hiring process to creating a culture built on DART—detailed, accountable, relentless, tough—Fran shares what it really takes to build a program that lasts.

He opens up about his Camden roots, his journey through adversity, the lessons he learned at Georgia under Kirby Smart, and why he believes Syracuse is just getting started.

Fran talks NIL (name, image, and likeness), leadership, recruiting, player development, and his why: family, community, and a deep belief that football can change lives. He shares the moment professors showed up to spring practice, the story behind texting the AD himself to get the job, and why he still believes to this day: “None of them can beat me.”
