But I think Urban is who he is. His all-consuming will to win is what makes him great, but it's also why he gets himself in trouble. I think he would have done the same types of things at ND.
As you state, ND likely wouldn't have put up with it like Florida did, which would have either gotten him fired or had him looking to bail to a place with less restrictions as soon as that opportunity arrived. Either way, it never would have been a good fit at ND, despite his ties to the school. Since he wouldn't have been at ND long I don't think he would have won titles there and b/c of that likely would have done more harm than good...Specifically, I think the admin's counter-reaction to Urban would likely have really restricted the types of kids ND could bring in even though the problem at Florida was likely never the kids (other than a few bad apples like Hernandez), it was the culture.
