TAMPA, Fla. (Aug. 12, 2024) – Chris Brown, the new USF women's soccer head coach, said he knows he has big cleats to fill.

For 17 seasons, the Bulls marched to the unmistakable beat of Denise Schilte-Brown, who had a 184-97-43 record and eight NCAA Tournament appearances before she became head coach of the Tampa Bay Sun, the new entry in the USL Super League.

Brown knows the old coach very well.

They are husband and wife.

"This is not your typical new-coach situation because obviously Denise and I were always in sync in terms of the overall picture,'' said Brown, who served as USF's associate head coach for 17 seasons.
