Brown faces tough task - Jefferies
Jim Jefferies expressed delight at his Hearts side's display in a 5-0 victory which illustrated the full scale of the task faced by Craig Brown at Aberdeen.
Rudi Skacel scored twice, with David Templeton, Stephen Elliott and Arvydas Novikovas also on target as Hearts romped to a fifth straight win, scoring 13 times without conceding in the process.
For Aberdeen it was a 12th loss of the season and a seventh in succession, leaving them level with Hamilton at the foot of the Clydesdale Bank Premier League, with Accies having a game in-hand and now a better goal difference.
Former Scotland boss Brown and his assistant Archie Knox quit Motherwell on Thursday, agreeing two-and-a-half-year deals at Pittodrie on Friday, and watched the dire Dons demolished from the stand at Tynecastle.
Jefferies said: "I thought they would be up for it and try and impress today, but we made the players aware of that and they were outstanding.
"They did all the right things to not let Aberdeen get going at all and I think at the end of the day we could have had one or two more."
