Don Brown, who got his start as a college coach at Dartmouth and returned to Hanover to serve as defensive coordinator under Joe Yukica, is on the move again. The highly regarded Brown, whose name seems to come up every time there is a head coach opening in the Ivy League, has been named defensive coordinator at Boston College. At UConn last fall his defense ranked 10th in the nation for fewest yards allowed per game, seventh against the run and 13th in tackles for loss.
From the New Haven Register:
Brown has an impressive resumé, finding success wherever he’s been. Eight of his 10 stops have been in New England, including head-coaching stints at Plymouth State, Northeastern and Massachusetts. Brown also spent six seasons as the defensive coordinator at Yale. The defensive coordinator on Yale’s 1989 Ivy League championship team, Brown was one of the early frontrunners to land the head job at Yale last year. Brown withdrew his name from consideration and former Yale assistant coach Tony Reno got the job.
