Now who is going to be the DC?

Sucky defense and passive defense are two entirely different things. Plenty of teams win playing reactive defense. We've won playing reactive defense. We need good athletes and good coaches and non-idiots running it.

Clearly true about reactive defense. However Golden plays passively and he's an idiot. He always plays not to lose and winds up doing exactly that.

I read both of Diaco's contract that have been made public - it is silent on any new employment offsets that i can see. I can't tell you w/ 100% certainty if there was a side letter/MOU w/ the termination but I have seen nothing indicating there was.

He has to be paid $3.4M within 60 days right?

It it was stretched out over 2-3 years I could see there being a clause allowing us to pay the difference between his salary and what we would have paid him. But with it all due in a short time period, I'm guessing he gets 100% no matter what happens.

I'm not losing out on $3.4M to take an assistant job at $500k/year. I don't think he'd even be interviewing if there was a chance taking a job would forfeit any significant portion of the buyout.
 
He said he doesn't favor sexual assault but is in favor of due process. I don't have a problem with that. The Duke Lacrosse case is an example where due process no longer exists for those accused of sexual assault on college campuses.
Did you notice his buyout was $500k not $3.4 million - what on Earth were we thinking?

Sometimes I read these posts and feel like I must have missed the two years where we played defense under Brown and went undefeated both years, shutting everyone out.

Yeah, where were you during those years BL? Do you have retrograde amnesia or something?

Look closer. UM had 3 losses - all of them needed the vaunted D to make a stand at the end, all of them resulted in losses. It's one thing to handle Rutgers, Ill., and Maryland, but for all of the good DB does (and I like a lot of his attacking style), he proves repeatedly he can not design a plan to hold a lead.

I'd take DB's defense any day. His kids play with their hair on fire. What offense/defense/special team is perfect? None. He's the best defensive coordinator in all of college football.

Not one person in the world would have called him "the best in all of college football" until he had this Michigan roster.

I like Brown, and he's a very good coach, but to judge any coach by how his players play for a year is a bit silly. For a coach, who doesn't tackle anyone, you have to look at the body of work over time.

Yes. He did a good job. But given the amount of NFL caliber players he had and the results, it was hardly something that would justify your superlatives

In all candor, with the talent he inherited here, the results would have been far better if he were a little more risk averse.

Brown was risk averse? I thought if anything it was the opposite. He didn't know when to turn down the heat...which allowed big plays to happen. Offenses would stop the blitz leaving the secondary exposed....and lots of completed third and longs.

He was fun to watch....but big play susceptibility.
