Michael Irvin

[GreenAlums]

Looks like Michael Irvin may be interested in breaking in to the college coaching ranks. He probably has all the cash he needs. Can he coach or bring recruits without baggage??

I attemted this link being ill-prepared for the technology I was attempting. Hope it works.

While he's a receiver by trade, he could be a very good DB coach. He spent a number of years playing against different coverages and schemes and saw what worked and didn't work.

Could you seriously see TD even considering this ? I for one don't think so.

Nate and Michael are probably close. I have always been disappointed Kelvin didn't work out. I'd be just as afraid of irvin. Could he even pass a background check??

Mike Irvin had a brother, or a cousin or even a sister...Well someone related to Irvin use to work on the UNT staff when I first got here. (spring of 1998)

That's right, now that you mention it. I used to see him on the sidelines alot. I thought maybe he had a brother that played at UNT??

That's when Kelvin was there too. Maybe they were visiting,.....or hangin' .

Cancer is way too slow.

Didn't we already try this with his boy Kelvin Martin? And we know where that ended up..................

[BleedGreen64]

NO! NO! NO!

Yes. Not enough High School experience.

In spite of his human frailties, I really like Michael Irvin. He had a tremendous amount of talent and I don't think that he ever meant to harm anyone. He may very well have the knowledge to make someone an excellent coach. He has the gift of gab; no problem in communicating.

Having said that, Michael has too much baggage to ever coach at the college level. It would be hard to take seriously someone whose personal conduct almost excluded him from the Hall of Fame. He just couldn't say no to anything that gave him pleasure. In the college ranks I think that coaches are role models, as much or more than high school coaches. To me, it would send the wrong message. Think of Kelvin Martin and K-Mart was a saint compared to Irvin.

If he really wants to coach then I think that he should try at the professional level.

Michael Irvin hosts a radio show on ESPN 103.3. Why the heck would he want to be a wide receiver coach at UNT?

no to that idea.

Calm down boys and girls. I just posted it as food for thought all the while having a big grin on my face at the reactions that may result. It would be a really cold day before we could think up ways to get our 2 and 3 star recruits (and I like every one we have and will get) the kind of leadership it takes to perform at the 3 and 4 star recruit level. Weird things may need to happen at UNT before the tide changes. I'm not afraid of a little change to challenge the weak!!

If you don't have budget you better get some huge ba##s!!

[JayDub]

What's funny is...the people saying "Oh, God, NOOO!" are the same people that would welcome Irvin with open arms and sing his praises if TD actually hired him.

[SCREAMING EAGLE-66]

---Good player does not mean good coach.... Most great coaches were not that great as players either. Totally different. A few are but usually they are very smart people,, I don't consider Irvin all that intelligent. Also, he has too much baggage with his past behavior to be coaching at the college level.

[SilverEagle]

IMHO, If Michael Irvin had any sort of talent as a coach, or as a scout, someone in the pros would have given him a shot by now.

I didn't realize that Adam Sandler posted on here.

Mike could be a great motivator but I don't think I want my boy smokin crack to get motivated like he did )

The crack was for celebration not motivation. I think that makes a difference.

[gangrene]

Maybe we could get Koslow's Furs to sign on as a UNT sponsor and make a significant stadium contribution?

Didn't they go to the "White House" for motivation, or was that also for celebration?

lmao...I can see it now...all the players dressed in mink with a gold crack pipe hanging on a chain around their neck. Mike could have all of them selling crack with all procedes going toward a new stadium. Heck he could get Nate Newton to come on board and they could sell weed for the stadium bucks also!

[Guest 97and03]

I wouldn't mind having the Playmaker do some ads for UNT football though...
