1. trev wanted to fire Frost after last season but couldn’t get approval. MJ was brought in with the title of Associate Head Coach.. The only other coach to hold that title was Frank as a head coach in waiting.
2. Trev fired Frost and named MJ HC. Trev did this even though he had Whipple, a former HC on staff. If experience as HC is so important, as many on the board seem to think, why didnt he put Whipple in charge?
3. Mikey and Busch are great evaluators of talent and we are going to need to find some diamonds in the rough.
4. MJ outlined what we need to do to compete in the BIG. He said more and better talent up and down the roster. Three deep in both lines and very little drop off. Mickey is a great recruiter and has a lot of contacts in the south. Busch is also a very good recruiter.
5. Mickey has connected with the players and takes a lot of time with each of them individually. as he has said many times, he tells them the truth. They trust him.
6. Mickey loves DONU and has a passion for this team and returning it to the top of the BIG. I doubt any other candidate will have the same passion.
7. He doesn't want to just win the BIG West, he wants to beat OSU.
