Please make it stop
December 7th, 2019 at 10:37 PM ^
It would stop, but he had his caps lock on. That’s when you know rationality is within the line you read. All caps!!!! You win.
December 7th, 2019 at 9:44 PM ^
After watching this game, don brown needs to go, michigan cant run a fricken zone and that’s what u have to do if u wana compete with these spread teams. Wisconsin is rushing 4-5 getting pressure and fields can’t pick it apart
December 7th, 2019 at 9:45 PM ^
Wisconsin also has DT that can hold up to blocks and running up the middle....
make it stop!!!!
December 7th, 2019 at 9:48 PM ^
Again why does Brown get a bye for not having a DT? Wouldn’t you over correct for the deficiency in the current recruiting class? They don’t have 1 DT in this class.
December 7th, 2019 at 9:50 PM ^
You do realize not all problems with defensive recruiting is Browns fault right?
December 7th, 2019 at 9:51 PM ^
Yes, Harbaugh is the head coach and it falls on him.
December 7th, 2019 at 9:59 PM ^
Wasn't Brown quoted on opting for smaller, faster players vs. larger players? If that's the case, then it certainly falls on him. Also, it's his defense, he needs to be accountable for both recruiting and player development on the D Line.
December 7th, 2019 at 10:04 PM ^
Harbaugh consistently refers to Brown as “the head coach of the defense”. One would assume that he has a strong impact on who is recruited.
December 7th, 2019 at 11:07 PM ^
Harbaugh is consistently referred to as the head coach.
December 7th, 2019 at 10:06 PM ^
Incorrect. Brown is absolutely responsible for the players they recruit on Defense. He is not the LBs coach, he is responsible for the entire defense and ensuring the players fit the scheme he wants to run.
December 7th, 2019 at 10:09 PM ^
It is DB's philosophy they're recruiting for. Without DB they wouldn't be bringing in multiple vipers and long lengthy corners that haven't panned out.
December 8th, 2019 at 12:56 AM ^
At this point I almost want Don Brown to move on just so people will stop complaining about him. 13 months ago he was the greatest DC ever, now even if he leaves people will still be complaining about him for the next four years because of DT recruiting.
I really didn’t think Brown called a bad game until I watched the Urban Analysis, but still at some point players have to make plays even if they weren’t in the perfect defense for the situation. Fault is part Brown, part execution.
December 7th, 2019 at 10:01 PM ^
exactly
2 DT's in the 2018, 2019, 2020 classes
December 7th, 2019 at 10:24 PM ^
So all of you want Brown fired? Who do you want? And how will they close the gap with the cheaters at OSU, Bama, Clemson, etc?
Those aren’t rhetorical questions
December 8th, 2019 at 1:16 AM ^
So I mean, there's got to be good defensive coaches out there.
December 8th, 2019 at 1:33 AM ^
Well "Mr. Two Million" Jim Leonhard is not better.
December 8th, 2019 at 8:15 AM ^
I want Venables.
December 8th, 2019 at 3:22 PM ^
Charlie strong
December 7th, 2019 at 10:13 PM ^
This was addressed in multiple other threads. Several guys M is currently recruiting to play DT aren’t listed as DTs because they played DE in high school. This is a trend nationally. Look up FatGuyTouchdown’s posting history for more detail.
Whether you agree with that plan/approach or not is certainly a subject for debate, but everyone who keeps acting like there isn’t a plan is either uninformed or is being disingenuous.
December 7th, 2019 at 9:49 PM ^
And he's a freshman
December 7th, 2019 at 11:10 PM ^
Damn thats weird, I thought Michigan had DTs last year when they gave up 70. I feel sorry for you guys that love mediocre football. Keep give Brown excuses
December 8th, 2019 at 12:47 PM ^
December 7th, 2019 at 9:55 PM ^
Is Wisconsin is so smart, why did they get blasted the first time they played OSU?
December 7th, 2019 at 9:57 PM ^
They managed to give up less than 40 points, and it was in Columbus.
December 7th, 2019 at 10:17 PM ^
That game was 10-7 in the third.
December 8th, 2019 at 12:10 AM ^
It was 0-0 at the beginning of the game. Does it matter if a team kicks your ass in the first or the second half? Either way you got your ass kicked in the games allotted time.
December 8th, 2019 at 12:40 AM ^
It matters in terms of comparing coaching. Their coaches gave them a chance.
December 8th, 2019 at 1:23 AM ^
Hell yes. If you give up 14 points every quarter vs. holding them down for a few quarters it does show a lot.
December 7th, 2019 at 10:18 PM ^
Remind me, how many games did Wisconsin lose, and didn't this same defense let Illinois beat them. This is more about OSU being flat than it is about Wisconsin having this great game plan.
December 8th, 2019 at 8:39 AM ^
I would say osu was pry flat for this game, already rolled them 38-7. But I would argue michigan offensively competed for the first half if it wasn’t for sheas dropped snap and Hudson offsides. Fields was missing throws and even turned over red zone against wiscy and they played a perfect game against michigan. But yea the defense falls on don brown, the weakness is defensive line and if u don’t know what your doing there hire someone that can recruit and develop. Losing mattison hurts, no clue how good Nua is it’s been 1 year. I guess we will see how far Hinton and mazi come along, if they’re studs they should start as sophomores. There r true sophomores all over country that start and dominate for their teams. Those r 2 most important players for next year, everything else should fall in to place and improve
December 8th, 2019 at 1:07 AM ^
Fields threw for 299 yards and 3 TD's. Hmmm...
December 7th, 2019 at 9:46 PM ^
2nd and 19? SEND THE KITCHEN SINK
December 8th, 2019 at 1:14 AM ^
They rushed 5? The problem was they didn't play levels.
December 7th, 2019 at 9:48 PM ^
The talent gap between OSU and Wisconsin is just too large
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
December 7th, 2019 at 10:54 PM ^

December 7th, 2019 at 9:49 PM ^
Give Jim Leonhard 1.5 million to be dc here.
December 7th, 2019 at 9:51 PM ^
YES YES YES YES......
December 7th, 2019 at 10:15 PM ^
Just make it $2.5MM
December 7th, 2019 at 10:36 PM ^
SOLVE YOUR PROBLEMS WITH CASH!

He isn’t leaving his alma mater for Michigan.
December 7th, 2019 at 10:58 PM ^
This didn’t age well.
December 7th, 2019 at 11:01 PM ^
Thad is one of the whiniest posters on this board. He's always complaining about something. He and UMxWolverines exist only to whine about Michigan football.
December 8th, 2019 at 1:38 AM ^
To be fair, they also whine about Michigan basketball.
December 8th, 2019 at 1:18 AM ^
Maybe wait for games to end before posting?
December 7th, 2019 at 9:51 PM ^
I thought that you had to have a fullback start the season at D Tackle.
December 7th, 2019 at 9:52 PM ^
Wisconsin, MSU, Iowa, Purdue have all found ways to slow down OSU's offense with half the talent on defense that we have. Brown needs to be gone yesterday.
December 7th, 2019 at 9:59 PM ^
100% agree.....starting to think Harbaugh should go too.
December 7th, 2019 at 10:59 PM ^
You should leave. You are killing the program.
December 7th, 2019 at 10:08 PM ^
But we had a 10 sacks vs. school of the blind!
