IMO Mickey can easily be the guy if 1) he shows his team can separate later in games and close games out(like Saturday) and 2) if Trev sees what he needs to see behind the scenes Sunday-Friday.
Most coaching searches rely on performance on Saturday and interviews, but rarely does an AD actually get to watch how a head coach manages their team day-to-day. Trev has 3 months to watch how MJ runs meetings & practices, recruits, manage his assistants, and coaches on Saturday. If Trev watches all that for the rest of the season and decides MJ is the right man for the job, I’m all N on Mickey.
We have an AD that puts the program above personal relationships and has proven he can make the tough, unpopular decision if it’s best for the program. I was skeptical at first, but now I feel confident we’ll end up with the best available candidate as our next Head Coach
