Notre Dame head coach Marcus Freeman was an All-Big Ten linebacker at Ohio State. Running backs coach Deland McCullough is in the Miami Hall of Fame. Every Fighting Irish staffer learned the game as a player years before becoming a coach. But who had the best playing career, including college and the pros?11. Marty Biagi, Special Teams/Assistant Defensive Backs Coach
Biagi spent four seasons as a punter and placekicker for Marshall. In 2005, he averaged 38.4 yards on 61 punts to earn Conference USA All-Freshman honors. It would be the high point of Biagi’s playing career with the Herd.The Michigan native played four seasons at D2 powerhouse Grand Valley State from 1982-85. During his time with the Lakers, his team was winless in 1984 but rebounded for six wins in his senior season.
Mickens started all four years, earning First Team All-American in 2007 and Second Team All-American in 2008. He might have had a long NFL career had it not been for a knee injury as a senior.
