Frankly, Urban hit a home run getting this Coach. Every football playing
stud in South Florida knows him and would salivate over playing for him and
being coached by him since he is a Dolphins coach. Channing Crowder loves
him and calls him the "Best Assistant coach in the NFL". Just
sayin...........
