Despite North Carolina A&T ending its season on a 10-game losing streak after falling to Elon 31-21 on Saturday, Aggies head coach Vincent Brown said he was not concerned about job security.
“I shared with our staff a week or so ago, ‘There is not many places where you get a chance to have one-win season and retain your job,’ but I am not worried about that,” Brown said in response to a question about whether he contemplated his future as head coach. “I am focused on building this program, focused on recruiting the next crop of players and am going to give A&T everything I have until A&T tells me I am not wanted anymore.”
In two full seasons under Brown, NC A&T has gone 2-21 overall and winless in the CAA. The Aggies have also gone 1-10 at Truist Stadium.
The current stretch of football futility is the worst run for the Aggies since the program went 3-31 from 2006-08.
Brown, though, tried to put the season — and all the losing that came along with it — into perspective.
“The outside world will try to define you by what this season looks like, how this season ended, but there are many more things in life, more challenges that you will be faced with that are greater than what happened between the white lines,” Brown said. “As much as we love the competition and winning — and I know what my task is here, to win games and develop our young men — that it is still a game, a highly competitive and contested game, but it is still a game. I also shared with them how proud I am to be called their coach, to let them know how much I appreciate their efforts.”
