Greg Robinson in as New Wolverines Defensive Coordinator

Michigan Wolverines Head Football Coach Rich Rodriguez has hired in Greg Robinson as his new Defensive Coordinator to replace Scott Shafer.

Robinson was fired from his Head Coaching position at Syracuse University last fall after four years and a 10-37 record. Previous to his stint at Syracuse, Greg served as a Defensive Coordinator with the Texas Longhorns, Kansas City Chiefs, New York Jets and Denver Broncos.

Robinson's Texas defense ranked No. 18 nationally in scoring defense, and No. 23 in total defense. I think this will end up being a great hire for Michigan as he has proven experience in this position previously at a top program (Texas).

However, anything would be better then the poor job Schafer did with a fairly talented group on defense last year.
