Here are a few reactions
“I asked Donnie if I thought he was going to stay. He said regardless of what happens to me, Michigan is right school for Louis. It was refreshing, especially with how recruiting can go these days. He’s a class act. I'm bummed, but he's a class act all the way." — Michael Hansen, father of Louis Hansen
“It sucks that he’ll be gone. One of the best guys I met in my recruitment across the entire country. But life goes on and I know the replacement will put out a great defense next year.” — Louis Hansen
"Coach Brown is a great guy who cared a lot about his players." — Alex VanSumeren
" it was a situation we all saw was possible. Coach Brown was honest saying that our decision with Michigan should be bigger than just the coaching staff, and we should choose because of our own values. He will always have a very high level of respect from us and especially my family." — Tyler McLaurin
"Don Brown is one of the greats. I am sad to see him go and not be under his wisdom and unmatched experience. However I am confident in what is being built and what he has Left Behind. The tradition of winning will continue. I know that Michigan is strong and the team will continue its tradition of developing great men and winning culture." — Jaydon Hood
“Today is a tough day. Coach Brown means a lot to our family — more than being a great football coach.
He is one of the most genuine and loyal guys I’ve ever met — not just in the recruiting process, but ever. If you are one of his guys, he’ll do anything for you. I appreciate everything he’s done for our family and wish him nothing but the best in his future endeavors. “ — Mark Martin, father of Tyler Martin
"Obviously, it sucks because he was a huge role model for me and was my position recruiter and area recruiter. He's an unreal coach but an even better man. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience in recruiting mainly because of him. Go Blue." — Tyler Martin
"It doesn’t change how I feel about the school, but I’m really bummed. That was my guy. He is a big part of the reason I committed because we had no visits or anything, He showed me everything I needed to know from the culture to the facilities. He really cared about my family and I was excited to play in his defense. I wish the best of luck to him in what he has next. I have faith the staff will hire someone good." — TJ Guy
“It’s a business. You have to adapt to whatever situation there is, and Coach Brown leaving is upsetting. but it changes nothing for me — same goal, get to the top as a team and show everyone we can play with the best of the best.” — Rod Moore
“That’s sad to see. We had a great relationship. Very nice guy.” — Ja’Den McBurrows
