Yes and no. He controlled him as far as his on-campus/football behavior. As far as what he did when he wasn’t on campus, Urban could not have cared less. As long as he remained eligible to play.

This is funny, but I actually think it’s also true

He’s going to have a good staff. But I still have doubts, and those that assume he’s a homerun hire, with guaranteed playoffs in a couple of years...well there’s no such thing in the NFL. Especially with someone that hasn’t coached a single down in the NFL. He could turn out to be a raging...
