Mailbag question: Heard anything on the defensive coach
GBMW,
What have you heard about getting a new defensive coach? Who would you like to see and what position coaches would change if any? Any thoughts and/or opinions?

Thanks for the question.
We have not heard of any names mentioned yet.
There is a coach’s convention in early January where many of these types of backroom deals are manufactured.
In our opinion Michigan has two choices. First, the staff can bring in a new linebacker coach with Coach Robinson then handling hybrids like he did last spring. Or, second, Michigan could let Coach Robinson handle all the linebackers and hybrids and bring in a new defensive back coach to split the duties with Coach Gibson.
We personally would prefer the later option. Coach Robinson has a long reputation as a top linebacker coach.
If something like the second option above would happen, GBMW would be happy to bring a coach like Corwin Brown back to Michigan to help with the defensive backfield. First off, he is a good young coach and a great recruiter who has spent a lot of time with some great coaches since he started coaching. Also, he had a reputation of being an excellent special teams coach when he was coaching in the NFL.
