Summary:
2002 marks the return for Brandon, a member of the PFL's "original six." As coach of the Flushing Commodes, his team went 6-8, finishing third in his division. He gave the team up in 1997 to Mike Johnson when he went away to college at Michigan State. Despite numerous invitations to return, he finally accepted this year, bringing the San Francisco Flames in as an expansion entry.
Year-by-Year
1995
The Flushing Commodes had a very solid team, but were the victims of a tough schedule, finishing 6-10, finishing with an emphatic shutout in the final week of the regular season over Jon Engelsman's team, the first in league history. His team ran out of gas, however in the playoffs, bowing out in the first round to eventual finalist, Jackpot Jokers.
2002
The team started off strong, but some early injuries cost the team momentum, and the owner eventually lost interest and after starting 2-2, finished 2-10-1. Brandon did not accept an invitation to return to the PFL for the 2003 season.
