2017 RB Kurt Taylor (Covington GA Newton; 5'9" 200 lbs); 3* prospect on 24/7 Sports.

Michigan's third verbal for the class of 2017.

Michigan: Boston College defensive coordinator Don Brown will be Michigan’s new defensive coordinator, per SI

The Scoop

Another guy with Northeast ties.

Ties to the northeast or ties to teams that can't win a conference game?

 

[BuckeyeNation27]

BC's defense was legit this year.

Another brilliant Harbaugh move. Guess he's got those Vermont recruits locked up now.

Yea this actually looks like a pretty decent hire. Not much shenanigans to be had here /sadpanda

 

[sflbuck]

It's a very good hire. But also a very interesting hire. Brown is a a 4-3 Over guy instead of 3-4. I would guess that we will see a major change in scheme next year.

A certain transcendent talent at dt really prefers the 4-3. I tend to agree with your latter statement

Michigan's defense fared pretty well in the statistical rankings this year too. That was a cool story until November 28 rolled around.

 

[WolverineMike]

I've read he plays multiple fronts. 3-4 over plus a true 4-3. Regardless, you can't argue with his results.

 

[BuckeyeNation27]

You can argue with his terrible decision making, though.

He's had his teams line up in four-man fronts, three-man fronts. He's run the 3-3-5, he's even used a two-man line. Most recently at Boston College, the Eagles used a four-man front as their base.

But over the years, Brown's schemes and tactics typically revolved around one thing.

"Everything's based off blitzing," Jason Hatchell said. "He had so many plays in his head, probably more than we even knew, that he brought to the table every week. The defense was built off of that.

"Some of the stuff (he ran at BC) was very familiar to the schemes we ran back at UMass, (some had changed) but the basic principles are still the same," John Hatchell says. "He's going to blitz 70 to 80 percent of the time in any game and you'll have guys running their tale off to the ball carrier. That's it. Constantly putting pressure on the decision-maker, which is the quarterback.

"He may have different gap schematics these days in terms of playcalling, but essentially, it's the exact same thing he's done for years."

So now Michigan has the greatest head coach in college football and the greatest defensive coordinator in college football. Plus All-World Jabrill Peppers.

Me scared.
