It was announced Sunday that Michigan plans on hiring Boston College’s Don Brown to run the defense next year. Brown, who led the Eagles to the No. 1 ranked defense last season, has plenty of supporters from committed recruits and targets from Michigan. Here’s a rundown of responses from Scout.com’s Brice Marich and Sam Webb.
