Flugel Posted July 17 Report Share Posted July 17 I'm going to share some quotes I like from a legendary football coach that won State Championships in Ohio and Maryland before winning a National Championship at Ohio State. After that, he led the Cleveland Browns to 10 consecutive Pro Football Championship Games and remarkably won 7 of those. If that's not enough, it was their 1st 10 years as a franchise from 1946-1955. Here's a cut and paste of my favorite quotes I found from Paul Brown that are applicable to a lot more than just football via Google: Paul Brown Quotes When you win, say nothing. When you lose, say less... You can learn a line from a win and a book from a defeat. Paul Brown. A winner never whines. Paul Brown. The key to winning is poise under stress. Paul Brown. What we have currently available is what we have available... Football is a game of errors. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mjp28 Posted July 18 Report Share Posted July 18 Paul Eugene Brown (September 7, 1908 – August 5, 1991) was an American football coach and executive in the All-America Football Conference (AAFC) and National Football League (NFL). Brown was both the co-founder and first coach of the Cleveland Browns, a team named after him, and later co-founded the Cincinnati Bengals. His teams won seven league championships in a professional coaching career spanning 25 seasons Paul Brown was one of the greatest coaches at all levels of football. HIGH SCHOOL, COLLEGE AND PROFESSIONAL FOOTBALL. 🏈 Brown began his coaching career at Severn School in 1931 before becoming the head football coach at Massillon Washington High School in Massillon, Ohio, where he grew up. His high school teams lost only 10 games in 11 seasons. He was then hired at Ohio State University and coached the school to its first national football championship in 1942. After World War II, he became head coach of the Browns, who won all four AAFC championships before joining the NFL in 1950. Brown coached the Browns to three NFL championships — in 1950, 1954 and 1955 — but was fired in January 1963 amid a power struggle with team owner Art Modell. In 1968, Brown co-founded and was the first coach of the Bengals. He retired from coaching in 1975 but remained the Bengals' team president until his death in 1991. The Bengals named their home stadium Paul Brown Stadium in his honor. He was inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 1967. Brown is credited with a number of American football innovations. He was the first coach to use game film to scout opponents, hire a full-time staff of assistants, and test players on their knowledge of a playbook. He invented the modern face mask, the practice squad and the draw play. He also played a role in breaking professional football's color barrier, bringing the first African-Americans to play pro football in the modern era onto Despite these accomplishments, Brown was not universally liked. He was strict and controlling, which often brought him into conflict with players who wanted a greater say in play-calling. These disputes, combined with Brown's failure to consult Modell on major personnel decisions, led to his firing as the Browns' coach in 1963.

mjp28 Posted July 18 Report Share Posted July 18 Paul Brown paid no attention to race, and brought several African-American players onto the team at a time when many northern schools excluded them. ( see below and throughout this biography of Paul Brown .) <-- Brown convinced Massillon Washington officials to build a new, bigger football stadium. Completed in 1939, the --> --> facility is named Paul Brown Tiger Stadium. We thank those responsible for your work on this. --> --> In his first season at Massillon, Brown's team posted a 5-4-1 record, better than the previous year but far from Brown's exacting standards --> AND --> The Tigers improved again in 1933, ending with an 8-2 record but losing to their chief rivals, the Canton McKinley High School Bulldogs. --> IN 1934, Massillon won ALL OF IT'S games until a 21–6 defeat to Canton in the final game of the season. As the pressure on Brown grew to turn the tables on Canton, Massillon finally accomplished the feat the following year in an undefeated season, the first of many with Brown at the helm. --> By then .... Brown had put his system into place: a strict, systematic approach to coaching combined with a well-organized recruitment network that drew promising young players from Massillon's junior high school football program. ( Also from above, why he won BIG ! ) He paid no attention to race, and brought several African-American players onto the team at a time when many northern schools excluded them.

The only very slight nit-pick is it doesn't show how many High School Football State Championships he won. I say that because doing this in 2 different states is very impressive. In 1930, it was his 1st year as the Head Football Coach at Severn High School in Maryland where they went undefeated and won the State HS Football Championship. The next year they went 5-2-1 before he jumped at the chance to coach Massillon Washington High School in Ohio in 1932 in the same town he was raised in. There his team won 5 State HS Football Championships between 1935 and 1940 under his tutelage as well as 4 HS Football National Championships (listed above). Very important to that area - his teams beat the Canton McKinley Bulldogs the last 6 seasons they squared off with Brown on the sidelines. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
