Don Brown, Broyles Award Finalist (top asst. coach)

FTR, the other finalists happen to be:
Jeremy Pruitt, Alabama DC (IMO the only other one with a shot, but he worked with much more talent than Brown)
Brent Venables, Clemson DC
Jim Leavitt, Colorado DC (reminder we scored 45 on them)
Matt Canada, Pitt OC

Pitt's OC certainly deserves to be in the conversation. He orchestrated a pretty high powered offense that carried that team, which is somewhat surprising considering who their HC is.

what about how he must have motivated Gedeon, Stribling, and McCray into by far their best games of the season in the toughest of environments. Edge play was outstanding and Stribling made a game saving outstretched block on the only real deep ball of the day. After that JT did not mess with long throws.

Not sure how Brown couldn't win this. He took one of last years best defenses and turned it into a monster that EVERYBODY says is better than last year by a mile!
Jeremy Pruitt? Nice DC, sure. But Bama didn't play anyone. Auburn is the one ranked team Bama played all year.
Auburn = Alabama Usually Beats Us 'Round November

Granted, maize and blue spectacles may be on here, but I think that for what he had and what he did with it in terms of talent and keeping this defense a top five defense on a lot of metrics from start to finish in the regular season, that seems to me like it is argument enough. It's probably a good thing I don't vote in these selections, but I think Brown has a case that is difficult to beat here.

the defense had a great year, and gave up only 10 points in regulation against talented OSU offense at the Shoe.
November 28th, 2016 at 3:28 PM ^
I like Don Brown, Most aggressive Coordinator I have seen at Michigan but,
1) Get Voted over Pruitt & Alabama's Defense. They haven't allowed anyone
inside their 20 yard line in a month(5 weeks).
2) Don Brown had a great year, but when we need a stop In Iowa - Gave up a FG
also the last 3 positions of OSU was FG to tie, TD in OT, TD in OT
He tied them up all game, until he needed 1 stop and couldnt do it.

From Saturday dominated? Assisted OSU better than any other administrators in the country. YOU DA REAL MVP

No doubt about it, that we got the short end of the stick Saturday from the refs.
