Don Brown gave it a second go around in 2022, as he took over the head coaching job at UMass, one he held from 2004 to 2008. The Minutemen, as has been the case for the past few seasons, did not manage more than a single win under Brown’s first season as the second-time head coach. The lone win came against FCS Stony Brook. While some of the losses look good on paper (the one against Eastern Michigan was by a single score), UMass has not been a competitive outfit since its days as an FCS contender.
