In his final season at A&T, the Aggies posted a 1-11 record overall and a 0-8 mark in the Coastal Athletic Association (CAA). Before starting his coaching career, Brown played collegiately at Mississippi Valley State (1984-87) before becoming a second-round NFL Draft pick of the New England Patriots. Brown spent eight NFL seasons with the Patriots.

"We want to thank coach Brown for his contributions to the North Carolina A&T football program and for helping us transition into the CAA Football Conference," said Hilton. "We wish him and his family the best as they move forward and in all future endeavors.""
