For nearly three weeks, Jim Harbaugh has been searching to find a replacement for the open defensive coordinator position previously held by new Maryland head coach D.J. Durkin. According to one report, that search is over, with Boston College defensive coordinator Don Brown set to assume the same role with the Maize and Blue.
Sports Illustrated’s Thayer Evans was the first to report the news, citing unnamed sources.
Boston College DC Don Brown will be Michigan's new DC per source.
Boston College finished the season 3-8, primarily because of an offense that ranked outside the top-120 in both scoring and total yardage nationally.
