Excitement continues to build surrounding the hiring of Fran Brown as the next head football coach at Syracuse, and one player who works under Brown at the University of Georgia says SU fans can expect great things from him.

The Bulldogs are prepping for the upcoming SEC title game, while singing Brown’s praises.

On Tuesday, SU Director of Athletics John Wildhack announced that Brown, the defensive backs coach at the University of Georgia, will replace Dino Babers as the university's head football coach.

Bulldogs' defensive back Javon Bullard on Wednesday called Brown a good coach when it comes to the "Xs" and "Os," but added that he also takes the time to get to know his players as people.

He said that’s what really makes Brown special: He's a player's coach who will get the most out of all.

"Coach Fran is one of those people I can count on outside of football," Bullard said. "Just the person that he is to the core, that's what you get. That's what Syracuse is going to get. My hats off to them. I am so proud of him."

Brown, 41, is also widely regarded as one of the nation's top recruiters.

He has strong ties to the Northeast, having coached at Temple and Rutgers in his career. Brown will be introduced as the 31st head coach in Syracuse football history on Monday.
