Mickey 2023

[HuskerDocCo]

I would just like to point out that our two best players on offense are Trey Palmer and Casey Thompson and the only reason we have those two guys is Mickey Joseph. In terms of overall program contribution he has been the best hire we have made in years.

good points Flash ⚡️

He seems like he can recruit, develop, grind, motivate, discipline, make adjustments, and overachieve relative to talent.

Husker connections are a nice plus, but he's looking like he'll be a successful head coach somewhere - based on what I've seen so far, I'd be happy to have it be at NU.

Because he’s 2-2 with a lot of enthusiasm? Nebraska ties is honestly the worst criteria for a new coach.

Never said anything about NEB ties. He could be from Mars and I'd think the same. Not to concerned about the record either, the team got exposed last night b/c they aren't good. If this was Frost still at the helm, I believe the team would have given up in the first quarter and we would have seen a blood bath.

Fine but what’s the basis for that? He’s a .500 head coach now with no coordinator experience so the resume seems a bit thin to me, especially if he’s from Mars now.

Plenty of enthusiastic people out there who can win at a 50% clip

You Mickey guys need to calm down. It's easy to like him and want him because you're comparing him to frost ffs. They many many others that need to be vetted before we end up at him.

Didn't know he had to have coordinator experience as a qualifier. Sure his resume is thin, but you can't deny the fact that the team looks like they are giving more effort, have bought in to what Mickey is preaching, and have not given up (okay maybe the OU game a little).

Like I said, there is still a lot of football to play and lots of things for Turd to contemplate before making a decision.

Absolutely great Coach and would love to have him. But, did you see him post game? He looks like he’s seen some shit. He does not look like he’s ready to dive into this dumpster fire of a rebuild. He looked weathered imo.

No offense but there's more to being a HC than getting kids to play hard. I hope MJ stays as asst HC when we name our new coach.

Maybe a fresh start?

I'm not offended at all and I understand there is more to it than getting kids to play hard. Agree, if Mick isn't the HC, I hope he and others on the staff stick around.

I'm 50/50 on Mickey on getting the job, but the guy knows WR talent, and it was evident last night with Palmer blowing past everyone and Washington is reliable for CT for the most part. Not to bash on Omar, but he's basically been a ghost since he's been here, and we need to find a way to better evaluate whether the local Nebraska kids are on the same level as kids from SEC country during the recruiting process (Rivals and 247 ratings are garbage for the most part) and get out of the mindset that we need to recruit local kids just to make grey hairs feel good.

On the defensive side of the ball, Frost & Chins did no one any favor by mostly recruiting the "Nebraska" kids for the front 7 and it shows talent wise. We haven't had a pass rushing threat since Randy Gregory left nor a guy on the DL that demands double teamed in order to exploit a weak offensive line. Our secondary has been serviceable, but if the front 7 is able to generate more pressure, then that would take some heat off the secondary and maybe open things up for more turnovers.

If the rumors are true that Mickey doesn't want to be next HC, then that's probably because this team is in bad shape talent wise and knows it won't be a quick fix or he's unsure if he can get the coaches needed to fix things here at Nebraska. He'll need to find a new OC & OL coach at a minimum to fix the offense. On defense, I'm sure Mickey might leave Busch as the D Coordinator and let him get a new DL and LB's coach. Personally, I feel that Mickey would be great as a HC recruiting wise and could secure that SEC speed needed to be competitive. However, I feel from an X's and O's standpoint, he's deficient, but maybe that is an advantage which allows him to be a CEO and rely on other people, who are better at it.

Maybe a fresh start?

Yes, and lots of Vitamin D.

Could also be him growing out the lettuce. He just looked very disheveled and beat up.

Our expectations are so low that giving up 600 yards to, but failing to get blown out by, Purdue has us wondering if we found our guy.

I’m starting to warm up to Mickey getting the job to see some of these boards melt down.

 

[Driveway Jordan]

Mickey is 2-2 as interim HC and some fans are acting like he’s the second coming of Vince Lombardi.

I’ve said this numerous times the past few weeks: It’s not Mickey vs. the field, it’s Mickey is part of the field. He will be evaluated the same as every other candidate.

FWIW, I think we may only win 1 more game so it’s a moot point.

I think at this point is Mickey doesn’t get the job, it won’t go well. Will be an enormous mistake
