Michigan football announced Mike Macdonald as its new defensive coordinator on Sunday and here are some thoughts on the hire.

After the wheels fell off for the Michigan football defense in 2020, it was obvious that Jim Harbaugh needed to make a change and the move is now official as Mike Macdonald was announced as the Wolverines new defensive coordinator on Sunday.

Of course, it was reported more than a week ago that Macdonald was going to be the choice but as linebackers coach for the Ravens, but he had to wait until his team was out of the playoffs.
