Fran Brown

Rutgers football offensive coordinator Sean Gleeson and defensive backs coach Fran Brown have been given raises and extensions per a report from James Kratch of NJ Advance Media. According to the report, Gleeson will make $1,000,000 in 2021, a raise from his previous contract, which called for $885,000. Gleeson will be the school’s first million-dollar assistant. Brown will earn $675,000 in 2021, a raise of $100,000 from what he was previously scheduled to earn.

Anthony Johnson had talked to Fran Brown many times before. Too many to count. Brown had been there since the beginning, a Camden native building a bond with a Philly kid. Brown extended an offer when Johnson was a freshman and Brown was an assistant at Baylor. Afterward, they never lost touch.

Rutgers landed the biggest piece to its thriving 2022 class in four-star Neumann Goretti (Philadelphia, Pa.) linebacker Anthony Johnson on Wednesday night. “The fact that I get to play in front of my family and friends means a lot,” he told NJ Advance Media via Twitter direct message prior to announcing publicly on Twitter. “It’s a blessing to play this game and I want to share that with the people closest to me.”
