Sam Webb confirms:
Multiple sources saying Boston College def. coordinator Don Brown to #Michigan is true. Word from a BC player is Brown informed team already

Saban's last 4 were pretty good.

Dick LeBeau was a great defensive coordinator well into his 70s.

There is certainly a path. Our OOC is easy. Our big rivals will be on the road but will be down some. If you win the Big Ten you will be in the Playoff. It's a crapshoot from there.
The team is hungry. They've sat down to a full course meal, had a few delicious bites, then had it taken away. They've had a taste and they want more. They are not satisfied.
It will come down to the last Saturday of the season in Columbus. Harbaugh was born for this.

The most important question: will he, like our previous DC, also wear a hat that has just the logo of our apparel supplier? The Jumpan at least wouldn't look as stupid as that Adidas hat.

This is literally the only interview I can find with him and it's from 6 years ago and has 286 views.
Now search "greg mattison" in youtube and there are a ton of interviews. Kind of strange.

Here's one more, I wouldn't mind watching a video of him doing an interview in the past 5 years or so if anyone can find one.
December 20th, 2015 at 11:35 PM ^
Looks and sounds Mike Ditka-esque.
Also: The kid doing this is the worst interviewer ever. It sounds like he was pulled off the restaurant reviews beat at the student newspaper to go do this interview.

Thanks for this great video find gord. I share most others confidence that with everything Coach Harbaugh does with the Michigan football program, he is playing chess, not checkers, and doing it at a very high level to create and develop excellence in this program.

I don't get it either (why people are upset he's 60). they're hiring him to coach, not play quarterback

Coach Jim Harbaugh hired Coach Don Brown to be DC for the Michigan football team. Coach H loves Michigan, and is an outstanding head football coach who is going to give his all to everything he does for the football team including staff hires. It does not get any better than that. Very interesting discussion though.

All i care about is if they'll be able to defend the read option.
