The term "greatest" gets tossed around like loose change by the sports media all the time. I myself do not like to throw it around because it is so difficult to judge between eras and what we have seen most recently. On a day I will never forget because the greatest Defensive coordinator ever to blow a whistle, scowl at a player, and put fear into every opposing QB walked off the field a winner. Fitting his defense forced Maryland to punt after EJ Manuel's third interception and fitting his defense was on the field as time expired. To the greatest Defensive Coordinator in all of college football history I say "Thanks Mickey".
