Julian Pittman made some mistakes in college but his is an outstanding young man. He has good parents, and if you have ever talked to him you can see where he gets it from. Might I add he has only been in trouble in college thats it !111

I believe Mickey has been contacted about several HC openings in the past, but has always opted to stay at FSU near his family. Good riddance to a dirty coach with dirty style. And, no, not the good kind of dirty.

#15 — you are right 82-83; in addition to the personal fouls, Gators D ran afoul of the NCAA. That 1983 staff is ridiculous — Shannahan, Heimldinger, Kines, Andrews.

Andrew — So Mickey Andrews is responsible for the refs missing William Floyd’s goal line fumble? Huzzah!

Nope, Mickey had 2 years in Gainesville as DB coach under Pell. Lots of personal fouls happened then. Go figure.

I think Andrews was an assistant under Pell at Clemson, not UF. He is and was a dirty rat; maybe Julian Pitman can take over the DC responsibilities on work-release.

Didn’t a big-name LSU player pull exactly that same fake injury stunt this year? (I’m thinking it was against UF – he actually admitted it to the press afterwards.) Desperate desire to win big > sense of personal dignity.

To bad he did not retire in 1993. NE would have another MNC. I hope you leave Mickey.

As a Florida fan might now say hey Mickey youre so fine you blow my mind hey Mickey hey Mickey!

How long has he been an assistant?

Seriously, he’s been a coordiator for that long without ever being so much as offered a head coaching job?

NativeSon, you beat me to it. Word. Word. Word to you, sir.

How no one in the national media has ever called FSU on that is beyond me. They literally do it *every time* they are trailing late in a close game.

I remember an FSU fan at a former workplace of mine asking, innocently, back in the late 90s why everyone else around the country seemed to hate the ‘Noles. Was it jealousy of their success?

I pointed out that it probably had more to do with the program playing fast and loose with the rules, their off-field arrests and doing douchebaggy things on it. The faking of injuries to stop the clock was my #1 example, since it’s something 99.9 percent of players with a sense of personal dignity would never do, no matter how big the game.

Mickey will be sure to pass along his copy of “The Art of Faking Injuries in the 4th Qtr. in Order to Save Timeouts” on to his successor, no doubt.

Don’t forget that ole Mickey was an assistant at UF under Charley Pell.

Cameron isn’t “reporting” that Andrews is retiring, just that there is a rumor that he is retiring. Besides, the juicy rumors aren’t on that side of the ball, anyway.
