Wasn’t the rumor that they wanted to keep Steele and some defensive staff but not promote him? Maybe they got Harsin to agree to those terms since he’s an offensive guy and would need a connection to the players, conference, snd recruits
I don’t see this as a good fit at all. Easily could end poorly.
Michigan's team defense was very solid in both 2018 and 2019 --- with a blip only in 2020.
U-M fires DC Brown after 5 seasons, source says
Michigan has fired defensive coordinator Don Brown, a source confirmed to ESPN.www.espn.com
He had the number one defense at BC before heading over to Meat Chicken.
Just saw that he's 65 years old..................
....and making 1.1 mil per year with a 600k retention bonus this year.
I'm not sure about the fit or not. I will say that it's a bit unimpressive in my opinion. Just quickly went through his record. About 50% vs teams in the 10-25 range and no wins against the top 10. No games. This is really a new world for him.
Well, he's apparently out of a job, so he's making zero dollars per year now.
Don brown is the only reason harbaugh hasn’t already been fired at Michigan. The fact that they’re keeping harbaugh and getting rid of brown is potentially the dumbest carousel decision I’ve see so far.
NO, no, no. no. I remember the last DC from Michigan that was hired to coach the Illini.
Lol. To be fair, he did coach a pretty good defense. He just had no business being a head coach at that point.
Good point, Dan Beaver. (Interestingly, I just saw a video clip over the weekend where Butkus was shown actually making the quote in your "tagline").
Yes, Michigan’s strength coach was tied for the second highest salary of all strength coaches. Ohio State strength coach is now the highest paid. For quite a few years the Iowa strength coach was the highest paid in the land before his departure. I believe he was close to 900k before he was let go. What’s interesting is that the assistant strength coaches are not compensated very well at all. At Iowa when the head guy was making all those bucks a couple of his assistants were only making around 50k. Those assistants spend some insane hours with players and at the facility.
UM Admin to Harbaugh “ Jim , someone has to pay the price for this and we can’t afford to fire you and you won’t quit , so who is it ?”
Art Briles for OC too?
ok u got meYeah, how about we add Sandusky as well
