Here’s a roundup of tweets from several prominent college football reporters following news that Michigan hired Boston College’s Don Brown to take over the defensive coordinator position.
RIP Big Ten. Brown is a mad scientist. https://t.co/8vOCiBuDFl

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

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.

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

#Wolverines just hit a major home run in the DC hire of Don Brown. Grand Slam.

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

Absolute home run. Not sure why anyone would have expected otherwise. https://t.co/VPw9YFlMB4

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.

From BC player that tipped us off on Brown to #Michigan: "With our talent we were the best defense in the country…"

continued… "So I could only imagine what Michigan will be like."
