Could there be a Michigan football assistant reunion in the desert?
While many Wolverines fans had been yearning to move on from defensive coordinator Don Brown after a year-plus of decline on the defensive side of the ball, it turns out that one man’s trash is another man’s treasure.
Former Michigan pass game coordinator Jedd Fisch took over the head coaching vacancy with the Arizona Wildcats after having spent time in both the New England Patriots and Los Angeles Rams organizations. And as he looks to fill out his staff, he’s apparently targeting Brown to come Bear Down with him. The two were Wolverines coaches in 2016 together.
New Arizona coach Jedd Fisch told people during the hiring process that he believed he could assemble a first-rate staff for the Wildcats.
Consider this potential move a big one.
Fisch has been working on adding well-regarded defensive coordinator Don Brown as a centerpiece hire of Fisch’s new staff in the desert.
Considering this is Fisch’s first head coaching gig — he’s been an offensive coordinator at both the NFL and in college levels — it would be a solid move, and a decent landing spot for Brown. Nonetheless, while both coaches are plenty accomplished on their own, it would be interesting to see the two former Harbaugh assistants working together outside of Ann Arbor.
