Twitter reacts to Harbaugh's hiring on Don Brown (Hint: You will love this)
Thought this deserved its own thread.
SI is reporting that #Michigan has hired #BC's Don Brown as Wolverines new defensive coordinator. That'd be a terrific hire for Jim Harbaugh

RIP Big Ten. Brown is a mad scientist. https://t.co/8vOCiBuDFl

Crazy thing about Don Brown's defenses is even going back to UConn they've been insanely good and never paired with even a decent offense.

Everyone can have their own opinion but I don't think there's a better defensive coordinator in college football. https://t.co/FuKWGBFFU3

Just to reiterate what @MarkEnnis has been saying, Don Brown is that good. I'd take him over Venables, Smart, anyone. He's the best.

Michigan made an outstanding hire in Don Brown as defensive coordinator. About as good a hire as they could have made.

#Wolverines just hit a major home run in the DC hire of Don Brown. Grand Slam.
— Mike Farrell (@rivalsmike) December 20, 2015
Other than Virginia Tech retaining Bud Foster, Don Brown (Michigan) and Greg Schiano (Ohio State) two best staff additions on defense.

Michigan got really good today with the hiring of Coach Don Brown! The B10 should be afraid, very afraid...
— Steve Costello (@CoachStello) December 20, 2015
I have an absolute pit feeling in my stomach for having lost Don Brown. But great for him to go to Michigan. You can't say no to that job.

Quick CFB note: Michigan reportedly hiring Don Brown as DC. That's a HUGE get. Brown consistently puts top defenses on the field.

Don Brown isn't a good defensive coordinator, he's a GREAT defensive coordinator. Huge for Michigan. https://t.co/PAA6PV3phZ

Terrific hire by Harbaugh. Top D in the country in 2015. RT @ThayerEvansSI: Boston College DC Don Brown will be Michigan's new DC per source
— Bryan Fischer (@BryanDFischer) December 20, 2015
Don Brown has directed lots of kick-ass defenses paired with substandard Os at BC and UConn. That looks like a very good hire by Harbaugh.

I don't think it will be an issue, but I found the comparison interesting.

I also think this was truly evident in the era before they cut scholarships. Bear Bryant's, Tim Osbourn, Joe Pa and even woody Hayes. They needed the best talent to win. In a new era with more parity, the coaches are exposed.

Think of what John Brown will get to do with some actual talent on the defensive side of the ball. According to 24/7 composite rankings, Boston College has never had a top 50 recuiting class or any players that were above a 3 star player.
Excited for this hire! Let's see what he can do. #GoBlue

I didn't like John Brown's defense when he was at Harper's Ferry. Very aggressive, but the team fell apart at the end.
December 21st, 2015 at 12:27 AM ^
He got burned.

Brown to shave the offense extremely close. Brown to shut off the runs. What can Brown do for you?

"Perhaps their most effective too was the trap-2 Fire Zone, a blitz scheme that is becoming immensely popular across the college football landscape."
From the footballstudyhall SB Nation article on BC's defense.

Here's the link to the cited quote above. I posted it like 100 comments ago, so it likely got lost in the excitement. Worth the read, though.

We ain't ever losing a game again, and the rest of the country just better get ready for it.
December 21st, 2015 at 10:37 AM ^
I'm intimidated by our coaching staff already. "Intensity" comes up, really, really often.
December 21st, 2015 at 11:28 AM ^
This guy sounds like the MacGyver of DCs, except instead of only having a paperclip, stick of gum, and string, Harbaugh will be giving him a rocket launcher, machine gun, and several sticks of dynamite.

Totally agree. Plus the braintrust Coach Harbaugh cited in his tweet regarding this hire and Coach Harbaugh's football judgment adds to my confidence and excitement about Coach Brown coming on board.
December 21st, 2015 at 2:32 PM ^
There's a play starting at about 0:32 of the highlight video in the FootballPerspective tweet where all four BC rushers get to the QB at the same time. I haven't seen that since the "Jimmy Clausen For Heisman" video.
