Former MSU LB, Notre Dame coach gives perfect 'football guy' media session quote

It's clear that former Michigan State star linebacker Max Bullough is the same fired up, standard "football guy" as he was during his playing days A former Michigan State star linebacker turned some heads on Monday during a preseason fall camp media session. Former Spartans star defender Max Bullough appears to be that same football-loving, stereotypical, tough "football guy" that we saw on the field during his playing days. Bullough now coaches linebackers at Notre Dame, and on Monday, he gave an inspired sound bite on preseason fall camp. Check out the clip of Bullough speaking to the media in the post below -- courtesy of Tyler Horka of Bullough was a fan favorite and star for the Spartans during some of hall of fame coach Mark Dantonio's teams. He was a team captain and starred for the Spartans during the 2013 Big Ten championship team that reached the program's first Rose Bowl in nearly 30 years. Bullough has quickly worked his way up the coaching ranks and it seems like he could very soon be a defensive coordinator and maybe one day a head coach. I personally wouldn't mind seeing him brought back to Michigan State at some point, especially, if he can bring back some of that Spartan Dawg defensive magic that we saw during his playing days.

Notre Dame linebackers coach Max Bullough breaks down what his looking for from his unit

WATCH: #NotreDame LB coach Max Bullough @Bullough40 breaks down the four traits it takes to start at his position group:-Tough-Smart-Competitive-Elite communicator #NDFootball One of the deepest rooms on the defensive side of the ball for Notre Dame is their linebackers, with multiple top-end players led by junior Drayk Bowen. Following practice on Sunday, linebackers coach Max Bullough met with the media and went over what he is looking for from his unit. There are four specific traits, as Mike Berardino who shared the post put it: tough, smart, competitive and elite communicator. That unique aspect of this is that the Irish don't go after players to develop these traits, they go and recruit them. Look at some of the recent linebackers that have entered the program and played early like Kyngstonn Viliamu-Asa. You won't see the field if you can't have all four of them, and he showed last fall that he's got them. Bowen gets plenty of publicity, and rightfully so, but the others who are expected to contribute like Jaylen Sneed, KVA, and Jaiden Ausberry all posses the traits as well. This should be another very good year for Notre Dame with its linebacker play, and a lot of credit has to go to Bullough getting his unit prepared.
