Strength Coach Micky leaving for Florida

[Irish Envy]

Resigned today to take position on Urban Legend's staff down at Florida. Any word on a possible replacement?

Personally, I haven't been too sold on him. We've had several stud linemen come in and not be as dominant as they should have been.

Urban's wife wouldn't let him come to ND, so he's trying to bring ND to florida, taking ND coaches going after ND recruits.

you know, there's probably an element of truth to that. his wife has publicly stated on multiple occasions her desire to live in warm climates.

as far as Micky leaving - good riddance. i'm perfectly comfortable with the Irish shedding any remaining elements of the last two regimes.

Perfect.

We'll start calling Florida "Notre Dame South" or "Notre Dame II"

thats pathetic when you let your wife run your coaching career. obviously she has no respect for urbans dream to coach at notre dame.

Isn't it freezing in Utah where the university is though?

I think I prefer "The University Of Notre Dame at Gainesville".

Lol, I'm not sure who I'd pay to see fall on his face more in his new coaching position, Urban Meyer or Ty Willingham. I guess Meyer just 'cause I don't have anything against Willingham personally, just pissed at all the bad press created by his situation for the University. How good would ND look though if either (or both) of these guys go like 17-16 over the next three seasons? I know theres practically no chance of that happening (especially in Meyer's case) just fun to imagine...actually come to think of it that'd be quite an improvement for Washington so maybe Willingham'd have to have an ever worse record to be considered a failure....

LOL but how about this - scoping all the buildings - moving them down to Florida or TX so that we can get the recruits from the south and the recruits who want the warmer weather - my opinion what do yall think

personally i think something is wrong with some of these kids today. i mean some are picking to go to schools just because they like their uniforms or stadium, what happened to having self pride? it shouldnt matter what climate you play in, the team pride and the schools academic reputation should matter. but i may be too old school, i dont know.

Because it's not about pride anymore (school pride or self pride). It's about how can I get to the NFL the quickest. That's why Miami & Florida will always seem to prosper, because really they're just training camps for the NFL draft. Most of the kids don't seem to care anymore...but at least it's not like college hoops where we know a great player is only staying for 2 years...if that.

I don't like it either..but it come with the territory...what is he suppossed to do?

Urban: "Hey son, i really want you to come to flordia and play football, how does that sound?"

Student: "Wow that sounds great, oh wait, i forgot..Notre Dame is recruiting me to."

Urban: "AHH Crap, never mind then...your off limits."

Recruiting, selling, and yes stealing or persuading is part of his job, just like it is weis's job
