Ann Arbor — Michigan defensive coordinator Don Brown always has his finger on the pulse of fan discontent, specifically that regarding his group. Rarely does he agree with the criticism, particularly if it is directed at any of the players, but he hears it and processes and sometimes, albeit infrequently, it makes some sense.
Brown has directed defenses at Michigan these last three seasons that have ranked, if not at the top, among the top five during his career here. He preaches aggressive press-man coverage that has, for the most part, yielded considerable success.
