gainesville isnt HUGE. 115000. its defintely much bigger than Manhattan but isnt huge by any stretch. plus he was at Utah before. Which while bieng in salt lake, is a very rural state.
Somebody be sure to take Urban out to Pillsbury Crossing on his visit here. Will make not having beaches and beautiful weather not hurt so bad.
Does cost of living ever factor in when coaches decide where to take a job? I know we are in a small town, but some stuff is cheaper and you get to be God of the town. Has anyone ever heard of a successful coach taking a job for any of these reasons?
Maybe if Manhattan had a Sam's Club in addition to Target the cost of living differential would be enough to seal the deal.
I hope somebody takes this and runs with it. Like the Pinstripe Bowl (from the Little Apple to the Big Apple) only in reverse. From Urban to Rural (Meyer). Maybe he would be willing to work as associate D-Line coach / HCIW for a couple of seasons to make sure he gets all of the life lessons OBz has for him.
