Mankato State's first season in Division I, Brose led the team to a 17–14–3 mark. Due to Northern Michigan leaving the WCHA after the 1996–97 season, Mankato State was invited to participate in the conference tournament despite not being a full member. With the Mavericks set to officially join the conference for the 1999–00 season, Brose delayed his retirement so that he could remain with the program as it became acclimated to the new conference. In his final season with the program, Brose led the newly renamed Minnesota State to a fourth-place finish in the conference and helped them advance out of the first round for the first time, receiving the WCHA Coach of the Year honors, as much for the season as his body of work leading up to his final year. He was replaced the following year by former assistant Troy Jutting. In 2004, Brose was awarded the John MacInnes Award by the American Collegiate Hockey Association. He was inducted into the Minnesota State Hall of Fame in 2006. Head coaching record The following tables list coaching details.
