This is weird...Happy for the success of former players, but hard to see him for the Golden Domers.
Seemed to me that the current and former players have high respect for Mike.
Still haven't figured out the embed tweet function ?
Axe the emojis.
#itsnotdifficult
Apparently it is since MANY people can't figure it out.
.........or is it?

If a few people have issues it's a user issue. If many people have issues it's a design issue.
And no I don't care how many smart tech people say otherwise.

I agree with this. If it's not simple for the least-techy, it's the site's issue. Mass-appeal websites should not be designed for computer scientists.
Embedding a Tweet isn't too bad, though the process isn't super intuitive and hasn't been officially stated anywhere to my knowledge. Props to theGlove for first cluing me in to the power of oembed.
- Copy the URL for the Tweet to the clipboard. It needs to be the URL from the address bar, not the "Embed Tweet" code. It can be done on a phone but probably will require you to view the Tweet in a mobile browser as opposed to the Twitter app.
- Click the "Source" icon in the mgoblog comment interface.
- Write the following, starting at <oembed>:
- <oembed>[insert Tweet URL here]</oembed>
- Voila, your posted Tweet will appear just like it does on Twitter.
If your post contains content other than the embedded Tweet, I'd suggest writing your post content first and leaving space to do the "source" <oembed> part.

I did search for info on this from the board and it was from the old way of using the "rich text editor" or something along those lines. I appreciate the walkthrough.
Why is this weird? We have players that played here coaching all over the country. This was also posted in another thread, not your fault.

It's one thing when it's Mattison (though I didn't really care about that either), but right now he's just a GA trying to climb the ladder.
March 18th, 2021 at 12:26 PM ^
Really bad look, Brockster. McCray is merely trying to get a start as a GA in the coaching world, for which there are a limited number of opportunities. Using your logic, if a Michigan graduate goes to the ND law school, that person would be a "turncoat." I don't think so.
This is stupid and you should feel bad.

I guess I should have used a different word than weird. I was implying that it will be weird to see a former player on the rivals sideline, not that it's weird for them to get jobs at rival schools. I missed out on my elaboration. I shouldn't post at 1am
I’m guessing you don’t know that Joe Bolden coaches down at Ohio State either.
My advice to Mike is don't go on the scissor lift if BK asks
Tooooo soooon!
....especially if it is windy!
/never too soon.
thank god the man who runs our video team told Rich Rod NO, it is too dangerous for our people when RR ordered them to go up in the scissor lifts that very same day.
we could have had a similar tragedy if not for phil Bromley
also a really good thing that when Harbaugh got here he had actual Towers built as well as investing in a camera on a telescoping pole to film practice. always thought it was ignorant to have people go up in those things when their are other options.
I despise Notre Dame football too, but I'm happy for Mike McCray to have found a spot inside a big time program. Hope he finds a lot of success there and elsewhere.
The only response to this is “congratulations”. It’s not weird. It’s a job and hopefully a good one for him.
I agree 100%
And yet it's funny the amount of vitriol this fanbase has for Greg M after he defected to OSU. I'm not throwing stones at those folks btw. I was mighty pissed too. Just interesting.
It is not like GM was starting out his career like Mike, but he went for essentially a lateral move to a huge "historic" rival.
Fuck, only thing worse would be if he had gone to OSU!!! Wait a sec....
Except he went from position coach to co-coordinator with a pay raise...but yea a lateral move.
mattison twice left for the money and he went to the absolute WORST program as far as M fans are concerned
I completely understand why people hate on him for that
first he defected for ND and then to OSU
screw him
I will never have a problem with someone going to a competitor for more money. It's his job. If another team values him more than Michigan does, I don't blame him an ounce for going, I would do the same.

I guess being happy for his success is not the same thing as congratulations
I believe that you are limited to 2 years as a GA at a particular school so Mike had to make a move unless M wanted to offer a fully paid position. Best of luck Mike! Hope you enjoy yelling.
Was it weird when Ty Wheatley was coaching for Syracuse? Was it weird when Mike Hart was coaching at Indiana? Was it weird when Jim Harbaugh was coaching at Stanford?
WTF is this post all about, anyway?
Exactly! He accepted a position at Michigan immediately after his playing career was over. He gave it his all while he was at Michigan. Due to injuries and the nature of the game he wasn’t able to live out his dream in the NFL, but how many players do? Mike McCray is an intelligent, fine young man with a family. He married his high school sweetheart and he deserves to be happy and to also make a living the best way he can. Go Mike, and Go Blue!!!
because M fans hate ND?
had he gone to Bama or other schools no one would give 2 craps
its where he went that people don't like.
I get it, the guy needed a job and ND is a big time program, has even achieved WAY more than M has the last 10 + years.
Still I am not sure how people cannot at least understand why some people don't like it that he is going to help a rival
Was it weird when the German's bombed Pearl Harbor?
MICHIGAN ALUMS WORK IN COLUMBUS!!?!?!!!?
Ohio football school alums work for Michigan alums.
I know. The nerve of a former UM footballer taking a job at another university.
Relatedly, I will be submitting my resignation from employment at another Big 10 university immediately to appease the Michigan fanbase.
If they haven't fired you for being a "Naked Bootlegger", you should cherish that job, your employer is very understanding and obviously allows their workers to feel free to be themselves!
ND’s money is green, just like Sparty’s, Michigan’s, and OSU’s.

Hopefully he learns a lot, becomes a better football mind, a better coach, and Michigan is able to use his knowledge and skills again in the future.
March 18th, 2021 at 10:18 AM ^
Working for Notre Dame is just a job and guys do stuff like this all the time. If Mike's successful as a coach, no doubt he'll be back in Ann Arbor eventually
I'm more disappointed that Mike seems to be in the Rose Twitterverse
March 18th, 2021 at 12:09 PM ^
I wish him the best, and hope this is another productive stop as he pursues his career goals. It's certainly possible to learn a lot from a bad-but-brilliant boss (which IMO he is signing up to here).
