Brown is not a BAD coach, he is just in the wrong environment at Stg.
Why do you say he's not a bad coach? I'm undecided - but to me the evidence suggests he was put in the job far too early...
First, he replaced a coach that was (I thought) doing a reasonable job.
Second, he was coaching players that he played with, some of whom had much more experience than him (not that that means they'd necessarily be better coaches, but there might be a respect issue).
Third, good coaches don't slap star players (or any players) on the sideline in first grade games (or anywhere).
Fourth, on paper they have a fair few good players, and he's done nothing with them. Contrast that with what Murray's done with less talent at the Cowboys, and what John Lang did at Cronulla and then turning Penrith around...
I think the Dragons have missed the boat here, good coach or bad, things haven't been working and they needed to make a change - unfortunately the players seldom pay the price for underperforming
