Don Brown is known as Dr. Blitz because of his aggressive playcalling, but he could also be called Mr. Makeover. He once turned a dismal Boston College defense into one of the best in the nation. He did similar things at Maryland and Michigan.
Overhauling Arizona’s defense is his next big project. The Wildcats have been one of the worst defensive teams in the country for several years. They couldn’t cover. They couldn’t rush the passer. They couldn’t tackle. Not that it matters to their new defensive coordinator.
“With all due respect, because I love the coaching profession, I don’t care about last year,” Brown said.
