The decision to make freshmen ineligible gave Pinckney the same problem Brown had faced one season earlier.

Brown had faced several unusually close races over the years and the state legislature had been looking to shore up the district even before his death.

Several people close to the situation said Brown faces a pay cut.

Once again, Brown faced opposition from many sides.

Brown faces an ongoing internal struggle (and one with his producer) to choose what not to analyze.

Brown was up for reelection in 2008 and faced no opposition in the Democratic primary.

Known for a defense-first approach and transforming unsuccessful teams into winners by "playing the right way", Brown faced perhaps his toughest coaching challenge.

But every other top man Brown faced was unable to escape without a knock-down, drag-out dogfight no matter who won it.

Consequently, Brown was facing bankruptcy by 1857, and petitioned the provincial government for assistance.

It is no wonder Brown could not face the problems he created.
