Jim Harbaugh on new defense: ‘No catchphrases or things we’re espousing’

Perhaps the biggest storyline of the Michigan Wolverines offseason was the complete overhaul of the defense, headlined by new coordinator Mike Macdonald. They project to take a similar form to the Baltimore Ravens in the NFL, who run a base 3-4 but operate out of a variety of looks.

Installation time is mostly over as Michigan prepares for the season opener against Western Michigan on Saturday. It’s time to execute. It is game week now, which was kicked off by Jim Harbaugh’s Monday press conference outside of the football facility.

A reporter asked Harbaugh about the differences between Macdonald and his predecessor, Don Brown.
