Is freaking awful. Seemed like I was watching the Nebraska game again.

How good of a recruiter is Mickey really?

He brought over great player in Trey Palmer who was unhappy with the coaches in the new regime. Who else did he bring over?

Was he lead on Justin Jefferson and Jamar Chase? Pretty good evaluation on those two, although Louisiana is the most talent rich state in the country and they are crazy about their team, so recruiting to there is not super hard.

I'm just wondering if this recruiting legend has taken on a life of its own.

Been doing some research on Coach Prime. The guy has a lot more substance then I expected. Very real with his players. Has them believing. Is one hell f a recruiter! Watched a few videos on YouTube. Very impressive. Would he be good for DONU?

Nebraska is on the court and warming up. The season-opener against Maine is almost here. Tip-off set for 7 p.m.

I'll provide updates in this thread as the game goes along.

Time for the latest edition of “Conversations with Clouse.”

Let’s see those questions!

Fire away!

that Micky is almost too important to be head coach. He is better off being an assistant interacting with the players and recruiting. If he were HC he would have to spend too much time doing fundraisers and radio shows and all of that nonsense.

Seems like an easy choice. He has won in a lot of places. Not sure why he can’t do the same at Nebraska.

I noticed Clouse mentioned his name along with Mickey and Rhule as some of the top candidates yesterday.

I'm curious what people think about him? I just don't see it.

• I have heard he is not a fan of recruiting
• 15-9 at Penn State over 2 years (was one a interim year?)
• 52-48 at Texans over 7 years (fired 7th year at 0-4)

Wikipedia Info

Just saying. Both KU and KSU have guys that know WTF they are doing.

I know Chip Kelly will turn off a lot of people because of his ties to Frost, but he has got UCLA at 8-1 with little to no resources.

He has also proven that it takes more than a couple years to build up certain scenarios.

With the current state of NU, a quick turn around(1-2 years) may not be possible. Of course with transfer portal and NIL, maybe I’m way off base.

Thoughts?

EDIT: Already had a thread on Rattler, but this one is HUGE.

He's either controlled or has balls of mother****ing steel! End of discussion. Can't even process.

What’s up with this guy?

Why not wait & allow the new HC make these decisions? Does it indicate Mickey is our next HC?

Here's this weekend's Steve's Stance:

100 points, 14 three-pointers and 50 points in the paint. That's all what happened Monday afternoon at PBA when No. 22 Nebraska won its season-opener in dominant fashion.

1. Somebody better than Rhule
2. Rhule if he keeps Mickey
3. Mickey if Rhule won’t keep Mickey
4. Somebody not better than Rhule but better than Patterson
5. Patterson
6. Dropping down to FCS
7. Monken

MJ said that he and Whipple were on the same page as to who the QB should be as the game went on. He said that we needed to throw downfield so they stuck with Purdy. And then they decided to put Smothers in when they finally decided that Purdy was not seeing and/or hitting open receivers. My God. That is very damning. The press corps was really pressing him on why Smothers did not play sooner and he had no answer. Seriously coach? It took six straight three and outs for you to finally figure out that Purdy was not getting it done?? MJ was clearly groping for an answer to those questions and all he could say was that Smothers was inconsistent throwing the ball in practice. So that means Purdy must throw better in practice? But MJ himself said that Purdy plays nervous so it should have been clear to him much sooner that Purdy the practice QB is not the same as Purdy the game QB.

I would be extremely pissed that it took so long to get in these last 2 games.

I'm on-site for the Huskers season opener here at PBA. Half of the arena is basically full of middle school students, so should be an interesting crowd. Tip-off set for noon with TV coverage on BTN+.

“You are going to make one hell of a head coach”
Despite the loss Mickey will get the job. He will do great with his own players and systems.
