It's not a purse, it's EUROPEAN!
January 8th, 2016 at 7:22 PM ^
Well, in the Univeristy of Toedo it's a purse. When in Toedo, do as the Toedoans.
I learned that at the Univeristy.

The OP can always edit the post. But we can quote all five (!!) errors in a one-sentence post, for posterity:
Jack Miller to join the Univeristy of Toedo Coaching staff and purse a masters degree.

that Dorothy's dog's name is spelled "Toto", not "Toedo" ?

....and when in Tobago, do as the Tobagans do.

I didn't go to a Univeristy. I went to a Collage.

you were all over the place?

I thought Miller passed on a 5th year to pursue a different career outside of football. Interesting. Best of luck to him.
January 8th, 2016 at 8:10 PM ^
Outside of playing football was my understanding. Jumping into the coaching world sooner, if he was convinced he wouldn't play on Sundays, doesn't seem like a crazy choice.

but does anyone else think he quit because Harbaugh was too tough? I know this is nutty speculation, and I'm not trying to be mean, but I always got the feeling that JM was a fun loving guy and maybe he was all "yeah, I'm outta here" when Harbaugh showed up, all 'time to work with an enthusiasm known to mankind' attitude.
January 9th, 2016 at 9:20 AM ^
January 9th, 2016 at 9:21 AM ^
But my guess to that question is no. If he was already thinking about it and was pretty much out the door, even the hiring of a coach like Harbaugh probably couldn't change his mind. IF he had thoughts of playing on Sundays, I imagine that the prospect of a 5th year under JH would have been helpful to him. As it was, I'm thinking he knew he wasn't on that path and decided to leave anyway.

Honestly, I think so.
Miller was always one of the Hoke guys who loved to talk the talk but never, ever walked the walk. I am not terribly fond of guys who talk trash, but then never actually play very well.
Wish him the best, but definitely not one of my favorite M players.

Nope.
He definitely had a lot of talk before games, especially before the MSU ones, both of which we were slaughtered in.
He also was very outspoken on controversial issues on Twitter. More than probably any player I've seen, on either side of the aisle.

Guess that great business opportunity didn't pan out for Jack.
January 9th, 2016 at 12:39 PM ^
or sometimes when you get out of school you realize the career you were aiming for isn't everything you'd hoped it would be. I know a number of architects and civil engineers for example who get out and get real bored with their careers real fast

Yeah, I'd go for the coaching gig.

Aren't too bad...I did pretty well on them and passed the first time. The 7 is no joke...a very smart friend of mine failed it the first time. I haven't taken it yet, but it is next on my list.
Side note, if you've taken it...any advice?

I found the S6 a little like this, very situational and tested your application of a concept, not just memorizing it.
Yes, your assessment is very consistent with what I've been told. Options are a big deal, apparently. CFP is my eventual goal, so trying to rack up the certifications is a goal.

Yes very best of luck to you with the S7. That's the only exam that I've ever failed in all of my scholastic and professional test taking. I studied for it for 4 months and it was a beast. I also did everything that Kaplan instructed me to not do in order to pass. I crammed without breaks, I studied non stop. I didn't rest well or eat the morning of the exam. I didn't stop testing or studying until like 4 am the morning of. I went in and the first half of the exam was wonderful. The second half I must have drawn a complete blank because everything on the screen looked foreign. Options are great questions to help boost a score once you understand the concept of them. Definitely an exam of endurance. Good luck. Preparation is key.
I now have the 6/63 7/65 and had the 24 but stopped with the managing. CFP is a pretty cool designation. Good luck on your schooling and exams!

Yeah the 24 was a very odd test. More about knowing what to not do rather than knowing anything about what needed to be done. REIT stuff was an interesting refresher though.
I was so in shock when I didn't pass the 7. It shook me to my core. I was sitting there wondering what was life about haha. I only missed it by 1 point and after talking to the testing center. They said I probably passed it if I hadn't changed answers and just stuck with my first mind. It happened... I learned my lesson. Studied and took a break and if I knew it I knew it (which I did immediately after taking the first exam). LOL I was reciting shit back to the scorer asking her to let me try again because I knew it.
Luckily I had other things to keep me busy for that month of agony waiting to retest.

Assistants usually bounce around because of turnover with their HCs. Probably even more true in the MAC as the good HCs all get poached and the bad ones still get canned.

"I've always had a knack for coaching," Miller said today. "I’ve been heavy on the cerebral side of the game and this is a great opportunity to expand on that and to influence young men."
It sounds like a pretty neat opportunity for Jack and hopefully it works out for him. Even better, he gets to do it more or less down the street from home - I believe he is a native of Perrysburg.

Jim Leyland, is his uncle. Coaching is in his blood!

My only comment on this is the same thought I had when I first heard Jack Miller's name. That would be an awesome alter ego name if I were a superhero
January 9th, 2016 at 9:30 AM ^
I wish him well but really regret not having him return at center -- Glasgow could have replaved Kalis at gaurd.
