Harbaugh loves him some Don Brown; confirms hiring Brian Smith to coach safeties
Not exactly new info but the first time Harbaugh has confirmed the Smith hire and the quote about Brown is great.

Looks like Brown has some nice autonomy as DC and we were told harbaugh doesn't play nice, yeah right.
February 29th, 2016 at 3:56 PM ^
Can't wait to see the resulting gridiron destruction this year.
(Once players learn the new terminology and scheme, of course.)
February 29th, 2016 at 4:06 PM ^
Shut down Ohio State.
That is all.
February 29th, 2016 at 4:14 PM ^
the Spartans, please.
February 29th, 2016 at 4:51 PM ^
I think that's a "special" teams discussion.
Too soon?
February 29th, 2016 at 11:42 PM ^
Too soon. I hate you for bringing it up

Lucky we lost the coordinator! Hope ST does cost us another game. That was a top kick in the dick IMO. Tough to forget about that one.
I hope ST doesn't cost us another game. Probably missed your sarcasm
The ST coordinator had nothing to do with the punter dropping the snap.

He may have had something to do with the formation though. What exactly were those two gunners running down the field doing? There was nobody down there.
that left no TO's to change the formation.
When you look back at that flubbed special teams play, it kept OSU out of the playoffs and a possible 2nd straight Naty.
The meltdown against OSU helped soften the memory of that historic moment.

let's hold them to 42 yards.

-He is one of the best DCs in college football
-He likely has no more aspirations other than to coach the best defense in CFB and win multiple National Championships.
February 29th, 2016 at 11:59 PM ^
Just showing up fully prepared on D for OSU and we're off to a better start... I'm down with Brown.
No more jerkin' with Durkin.
February 29th, 2016 at 4:00 PM ^
"He's an intense man. A ball of fire. We'll have to get the meeting room repainted because he was peeling the paint off."
Cannot imagine Brown and Harbaugh in the same room.
February 29th, 2016 at 7:31 PM ^
Bo and Woody used to be on the same staff...I bet some shit went down there.
I wonder if Bo was subservient to woody early on? Was it mostly a master student theme?
It seems to be known Bo followed the chain of command in front of the players. Behind closed doors however they had some "emotional" discussions. The respect was always there. It was Bo in fact who met with Woody and convinced him he had to step down after the Clemson incident.
February 29th, 2016 at 4:05 PM ^
didn't the coach for the patriots recommend Brown to JH? if so that should tell you all you need about Brown.
February 29th, 2016 at 4:07 PM ^
I think I might be a little excited for this season guys.
February 29th, 2016 at 4:08 PM ^
Look, Don Brown's been cleaning up the streets and busting perps since you were still in diapers. He's got no patience for bullshit, and he's going to let you know it.
Classic scene.
I need to work the phrase "I've got a flash for you, Joy Boy" into conversations more often.
February 29th, 2016 at 4:10 PM ^
Don Brown's mustache is apparently filled with paint thinner. Who knew???
February 29th, 2016 at 4:11 PM ^
"No"
That is exactly why I love that guy.
February 29th, 2016 at 4:27 PM ^
Should have said "Hell no!" https://t.co/tkhB6nvmPe

...commenting on this...
Asked about whether he is concerned or cares about the critics of Michigan's spring trip, Harbaugh said "No."

Brian Smith. Awesome generic names. Also need a Mike Jones.
February 29th, 2016 at 4:20 PM ^
Who?

Jones
February 29th, 2016 at 7:24 PM ^
It's like he wasn't even paying attention.
February 29th, 2016 at 4:23 PM ^
Don't forget your Johnson!!
February 29th, 2016 at 4:25 PM ^
Not worth a new thread, but Winovich has been moved from LB to DE. Hope he sticks. We are still a bit thin on the DL, but also thin in th LB corps. Trust Brown and Mattison to deploy the troops correctly.
February 29th, 2016 at 4:28 PM ^
i think you're jumping to conclusions. it's the first day of spring ball; guys are going to be moved around like crazy until the first game of the year.
February 29th, 2016 at 5:13 PM ^
I don't know whether or not Winovich at DE will stick. This is the time to have guys try out at different places. News on Chase Winovich position switch came from mlive and Nick Baumgardner.
LINK: Blake Bars, Da'Mario Jones no longer with Michigan; Chase Winovich now a DE
Pertinent quote:
Elsewhere, Michigan's roster now lists redshirt sophomore Chase Winovich as a defensive end. He played linebacker as a true freshman and tight end last season.
February 29th, 2016 at 4:44 PM ^
As in permanent DL, or as in Jake Ryan terror package DL?
February 29th, 2016 at 5:04 PM ^
Winovich now working on pass rush moves with the DL
— Sam Webb (@SamWebb77) February 29, 2016
Winovich definitely looks the part of a SAM physically now
— Sam Webb (@SamWebb77) February 29, 2016
Winovich definitely looks bigger more cut. Always been fast/quick enough in coverage. Physicality in run game was question coming out of hs
— Sam Webb (@SamWebb77) February 29, 2016
EDIT: Baumgardener article says he's a DE per the spring roster
February 29th, 2016 at 5:45 PM ^
Nice. Thanks for compiling those.
February 29th, 2016 at 4:27 PM ^
The video that goes along with the story is great. I love it when one of the reporters asks Harbaugh whether he can see why other teams might be concerned about Michigan practicing at IMG. Harbaugh then looks at the guy like he's possibly the lowest form of life on Earth and answers "no, I can't see that."
February 29th, 2016 at 4:33 PM ^
That is fantastic. Death Stare v2.0
February 29th, 2016 at 4:43 PM ^
Harbaugh ain't playin' today.
February 29th, 2016 at 4:56 PM ^
Feral Death Stare
February 29th, 2016 at 5:37 PM ^
I love his response when reporters are baiting him for a sound bite and he has had enough he simply asks if everyone got their headline and calls it a day.

Love all the info we received today.
February 29th, 2016 at 4:46 PM ^
I think the best part is that it's over 70 in Bradenton today and Harbaugh is still wearing that sweatshirt.
February 29th, 2016 at 7:55 PM ^
It was chilly down here this morning and didn't warm up until later (in the 60s until around noon). I was wearing the sweatshirt that Harbaugh wore for games last fall all day, and outside a lot, and wasn't hot. As weird as it sounds, 60s down here isn't like 60s up north.
