Coach Brown has agreed to a five-year contract that will run through 2011.
The UMass athletic Dept press release is here .
The Springfield Republican has an article here and the UMass Collegian has another article here.
This Blog thinks this is great news for UMass Football and for the University. Brown's teams have done a great job representing UMass. There have been no discipline problems. The last two years every UMass football player who has used all their eligibility has graduated.
The team grade-point average is up over a half a point. And lastly, we've been playing football at a very high level, as anyone who saw UMass compete with a good BCS team Navy last year can attest.
Congrats to Brown and thanks to UMass Athletic Director John McCutcheon for getting that contract signed.
UPDATE: Matty Vautour has an article in the Hampshire Gazette about Brown here .
