Gerry Faust died Monday at the age of 89. Shortly after news of his passing began to circulate, Brown took time to remember and show appreciation for the man that recruited him to Notre Dame.

Though Gerry Faust, who died Monday at 89, had a 30-26-1 record coaching Notre Dame, he said he "was the happiest guy in the world."
