Mack Brown is reportedly hiring Greg Robinson as defensive coordinator and wow that’s bad

Whoo boy. Let’s keep the “failures in Ann Arbor, Michigan” theme going for a little while longer.

Mack Brown has apparently hired Greg Robinson as defensive coordinator at UNC.

There was a path where the hiring of Brown made sense: dynamic, young coaching staff, with a few potential candidates to ascend to head coach in 2-4 years.

This...is not that.

For those uninitiated, Greg Robinson is a 67-year-old football coach, last seen running the defense for San Jose State in 2014.

That defense, which finished tied for 64th in the nation at 5.52 yards per play, is the best he has employed in the Twitter era.
