I have to wonder if Urban's style would work at ND. When you think Notre Dame you don't think spread option, like someone was pointing out with Rodriguez's hire at Michigan the Big Ten/ND is more pro-style O.
The only real advantage I could see at ND would be the ability to in theory get the best players from all over the country just because it's ND.
If Myer could get the spread to work at Bowling Green, I think he could get it to work at Notre Dame.
I don't think Notre Dame has anywhere close to the appeal to recuirts it used to. They havn't been in the national title race for a long time, let alone to even win a bowl game. Plus ND's acedemic requirments are significantly tougher than the typical large football factory state school.
I'm guessing Urban it talking up ND to get a raise.
