Brown 2024

[The Orfling]

looks like Jon Torpey is the heir successor.....with the blessings of consultant- alums Starsia and Munro......seems like a winner.....Breschi extols him based on his 3 years as a captain at Ohio State........hope he can thrive at a location without the some 32 fountains that grace the High Point campus....seems he's at the stage of his career where he needs a challenge...............appears to be well-regarded within the coaching community........his teams always seemed to threaten Duke and Va. early in the season - and Brown needs to start earlier in coming seasons.....and needs a more robust fall season........should be able to come up with good scheduling based on his regard with fellow coaches......told the HP players love him - but that is pretty standard with most coaches.........the Brown players loved Daly and where did that get him ?..............expect an announcement this weekend or before ........... he has a challenge before him in Providence but is the consensus that he will meet it............

Good ear to the ground, Counselor, and your insight about him wanting a new challenge makes a lot of sense. I think this is a great hire for Brown, and it sounds like they did things well by getting the viewpoints of important alums, etc. Welcome to the Ivy League, Coach Torpey!

One of the best examples of current coaches who has always made the most out of his talent.

I spent some time in the building/field with Jon Torpey at High Point. I also coached and/or played at all three levels of the sport. I can honestly say I have never been around a coach who cares more about his players and their development both on and off the field. I hope the Brown lacrosse family appreciates the quality of person they are getting.

Not to mention, from a purely lacrosse perspective, they are getting a guy who is afraid of approximately no one. During his tenure at High Point, he took his “little engine that could” to Duke and won, to UVA and won, to Carolina and won.

Torpey looks like a really good hire. He certainly is not a job hopper; so let's hope he does well, and retires upon ending his career, at Brown. A strong Bruno program makes the Ivy a better lacrosse conference.

Wishing the new regime well! Lacrosse matters at Brown.

As long as he can get the kids he wants in he will kill it. Know he spent a minute at Dart as an asst coach but HPU is almost polar opposite in admissions. Even if he can it’s probably going to be a learning curve. But he is a very good coach. Never really nailed down the D side but the offense is great

Now we can turn our attention to the Assistants. Will he keep both of the current guys, keep one of the current guys, find new ones, or bring in his guys from HP?

Based on history, most new head coaches want to hire their own assistants.

It would be a disaster if he kept the current offensive coordinator at Brown. That guy might’ve been the worst offensive coach I’ve ever seen. Torpey will bring in his own guys!!

Clean sweep, New start. Only way to go.

Ok, so Torpey sounds like a terrific guy and a decent coach, but who has HPU beaten or upset over the years? Simon Connor at Nova has been a part of a huge # of upsets over the last 5 years, all I am sayin

Not to mention comparing someone who is HC and stood up the program to a AC.

All of u Torpey fans realize that the 2 best Brown lax coaches ever were Lars & Dom, and both played there, and Torpey did not, big difference and there is a saying, “what have u done lately” and Torpeys 2 biggest wins ever were 2019, even before COVID, also, u guys were probably big Amplo/Navy fans as well & the Nova guys coached circles around Amplo at Marquette & Navy, just sayin
