Brown: Brown Has Plenty of Ivy League Family Ties



Brown Has Plenty of Ivy League Family Ties: When Ivy League play opens this coming season, Brown will have good reason to market its games against Pennsylvania and Princeton as more than just conference tilts against the Ivy League’s historical powerhouses. Brown has hired Craig Robinson to be the Bears’ next coach. He replaces Glen Miller, who left the school to coach Pennsylvania — there’s the Quaker connection. Robinson comes to Brown from an assistant coaching position at Northwestern, which has run a version of the Princeton offense for several years. But plenty of schools do that. Robinson, however, attended Princeton and played for the Tigers under Pete Carrill, the mastermind behind the Princeton offense — and there’s the Tiger connection. So will the pupil be able to surpass the master’s legacy? [6/24/06]
