Reports: BC's Don Brown expected to be U-M's DC

Michigan chased Boston College's defense for much of the season in the rankings.

So it makes sense to grab the Eagles' defensive coordinator to fill the vacancy.

BC's Don Brown is expected to fill the spot, according to multiple reports, including the first from Sports Illustrated.

The position opened when D.J. Durkin left to take the Maryland head coaching job in early December. U-M's defensive line coach Greg Mattison is running the defense for the upcoming Jan. 1 Citrus Bowl against Florida and U-M coach Jim Harbaugh had said he would get consideration for the job.
