Remembering Mickey Andrews, 'The Finest D.C. Of The Modern Era'

Following today's announcement that FSU defensive coordinator Mickey Andrews is retiring, SB Nation's Tomahawk Nation remembers a man they call "the Finest Defensive Coordinator of the Modern Era."

Don't choose to remember Mickey Andrews for this abysmal final season.  Remember him for his courage, his selflessness, his loyalty, and his patience.  Remember Mickey's ability to repeatedly dial up the right pressure at the right time, some of the funniest stories that we can't repeat here (hey, this is a family site), remember how he changed the game of college football, remember his spitting and his fiery temperment- the perfect foil to Bowden's ho-hum good ol' boy demeanor.  But most of all, remember Mickey for being a great 'Nole.  After 26 great years, Mickey Andrews is hanging it up.  And nobody could be more deserving of a great retirement.

Tomahawk Nation credits Andrews for transforming the Seminoles "from a high-scoring mid-major into a national power," and call him "a man of incredible patience and class." You can read the official press release here.
