I'm starting to warm up to the idea of Mickey

[BluesBucksNHuskers]

Exactly! He gets an actual audition. We will know if he's legit or not after the next 9 games. Personally I think it would be incredible if he pulls off a miracle run haha.

I’d even be willing to give him the benefit of the doubt if we end up 7-5 or so and strike out on our A list because of how badass of a recruiter he is.

Oh man if he goes 6-3 after that atrocious start, I'm all in baby. Frost went 1-2 against the 3 teams that were considered the easiest part of the schedule, Mickey has to play a schedule of OU + Big Ten. 6-3 would be a miracle.

2 wins is outperforming expectations. 3-4 would be incredible, anything over 5 would be insane, but I definitely think he's gotta win 6 or more to put himself in contention.

But I expected 0 if Frost stayed so it's house money at this point

Mickey wins 7 of 9 games left on this schedule, let’s talk. Until then…Let’s support him and hope we don’t go completely off the rails.

To be fair, we're already completely off the rails

LOL...fair...how about we don't Thelma and Louise the bitch off the cliff then?

Mickey is going to have to absolutely crush it and make it impossible for Turd to hire someone else. Like a 7-2 beat OU or Michigan type of campaign. Clear message from the press conference was moving away from the the Nebraska guy shtick.

9: He wants to prove himself. I think this is key. Scott had just won COtY and DEFINITELY ACTED LIKE we were lucky to have him. Mickey strikes me as a guy who really wants to make a name for himself and is the opposite of a guy who thinks he's already made it.

FIFY

He basically has to win this weekend to get the momentum going for himself.

If he takes the team as currently constructed and rattles off a 6-3+ finish, I think it's a conversation worth having.

That's it. That's where the conversation begins and ends with Mickey right now. I would expect one of those L's to be this week so nothing changes until Indiana unless he pulls off an upset. He pulls off an upset and this conversation gets interesting right away.

If he doesn't win this week, the hiring process will be too far gone to give him real consideration

You think? I dunno. I think it takes a month or so before they even start talking offers. By that point they should know if Mickey is on the right track.

Guess we'll find out. That early signing day really pushes these things up.

Half curious if we'll start seeing coaches leave jobs midseason
