You're not wrong. We'd want to fire him too.Since he is not an alum, How many would defend him like Mickey? Exactly... None. Move on and find a qualified coach with some history and get this thing moving in the right direction.
Same here.I am so torn over Mikey right now. The guy appears to have a lot of passion and he definitely has a lot of character. I just wonder what he would do with his own coaches here and his own players.
It’s a process. It’s not like Trev is waiting to see how MJ does before he starts looking for a new coach.Since he is not an alum, How many would defend him like Mickey? Exactly... None. Move on and find a qualified coach with some history and get this thing moving in the right direction.
I've read that online about Mickey not being "qualified". It makes me wonder what "qualification" Mickey is missing.Since he is not an alum, How many would defend him like Mickey? Exactly... None. Move on and find a qualified coach with some history and get this thing moving in the right direction.

Yep, very disappointing leaving Purdy in so long in the second half..Based on yesterdays game, the ability make game winning coaching decisions.
The only way to get experience is to be out there doing something and learn from your mistakes. Mickey learned something yesterday. He may never make that mistake again. Plus, when it comes to experience Mickey is the only candidate who knows this program inside and out. So I don't think Mickey's experience is a negative.Based on yesterdays game, the ability make game winning coaching decisions.
You would think since 99.9% of this room felt a QB change was in order after 3-4 straight 3 and outs Trev would be asking himself that same question.Based on yesterdays game, the ability make game winning coaching decisions.
Also, MJ recognized that Smothers was the next guy up but he is handicapped because he has been instructed to let the OC do his thing and not get too involved from the Top.If Whipple was HC we would have lost each game by 20+ points- MJ has them fighting and believing, even being shorthanded. He gets the BG10 while other coaches believe they can just bring in whatever has worked for them elsewhere and it will manifest.
He has the "salesmanship" to be HC., which is a key element to being a good HC. You have to be able to sell your idea, your vision, your passion and having the players "buy" it and Buy in. All the coaches who are successful are good salesmen. Whipple is not a saleman, he is a strategist.
MJ just needs to find the best DC and OC and he would do great and bring in some big time recruits. Also, needs to focus on his OL and DL recruits 1st but I think he gets that and some other coaches dont.
I disagree with some of what you post here.If Whipple was HC we would have lost each game by 20+ points- MJ has them fighting and believing, even being shorthanded. He gets the BG10 and some just dont and want to impose their will on it.

Makes it even tougher for new hc when trying to decide whether to keep the IHC on staff. Would it work. It's one thing to keep a couple of asst coaches but a guy that was auditioning for the job??Part of me wants Mickey. I want to want Mickey. I don’t think he’s the dude. But none of that has anything to do with him being an alumni. It has to do with him being an ace recruiter. And I think there is a ‘bird in hand’ situation going on. Whipple isn’t going to be a HC somewhere, but Mickey may be able to land the ASU or Colorado job. It feels like some of it could be that there’s a fear of him being successful somewhere else.
Then pair that with no real ‘sure fire’ candidates out there that will unify the fan base.
The more interesting question for me is, does the new coach want to keep Mickey (if he’d stay)? Every coach would love his recruiting ability, but would the current players be more loyal to Mickey than the new coach? What coach wants to deal with a #2 who’s not ‘your guy’ that holds the locker room?

Success as a coordinator, success as an associate head coach, success as a head coach and success as an interim coach are all things Mickey does not have. Literally the only reason to hire him is he is a former husker and people on here like that even though that same belief didn't workfor Nebraska the last five years.I've read that online about Mickey not being "qualified". It makes me wonder what "qualification" Mickey is missing.
Nebraska isn't a "learn on the job" type of place. Imagine if Alabama hired interim Joe kines just for the "feel good Disney story" instead of getting Saban? It would have been a joke. That is what you and others want here which is ridiculous. Mickey can go coach a g5 and if he does a really good job, maybe down the line he should be considered if an opening comes up. Now is not the time for experiments.The only way to get experience is to be out there doing something and learn from your mistakes. Mickey learned something yesterday. He may never make that mistake again. Plus, when it comes to experience Mickey is the only candidate who knows this program inside and out. So I don't think Mickey's experience is a negative.
Our recruiting has stunk for years now (don't be fooled by star ratings) and I don't see anyone who would be a better recruiter as a head coach than Mickey. I think Mickey would be the best motivator and team builder that we've had since Bo Pelini. But Mickey is more positive, professional and sets a better example for his athletes than Bo.
If we can keep Mickey as assistant head coach, he could still make a good impact in those areas. But we'd still have to find the right guy as HC.
if he brings in top notch coaches i think he could lead the program.I really don’t think the people clamoring for Mickey are doing it because he’s an alum. It’s not like he was a star or played on championship teams. I think the people that want Mickey like who he is as a person and the way he has attacked the job head on. He is an impressive man and an ace recruiter.
Respectfully disagree. I think he brings a no BS attitude and humble approach that the players ( and fans)respect. I find it refreshing after Frost and Riley and their Mr Rogers act. MJ has the bluntness of Bo without the douchebag factor.Success as a coordinator, success as an associate head coach, success as a head coach and success as an interim coach are all things Mickey does not have. Literally the only reason to hire him is he is a former husker and people on here like that even though that same belief didn't workfor Nebraska the last five years.
No one would ......it would not even be a discussion.Since he is not an alum, How many would defend him like Mickey? Exactly... None. Move on and find a qualified coach with some history and get this thing moving in the right direction.
Hypothetically if urban was named interm we could easily be in the same boat. See how stupid hypotheticals are?Since he is not an alum, How many would defend him like Mickey? Exactly... None. Move on and find a qualified coach with some history and get this thing moving in the right direction.
I will take it one step further - if everything was exactly the same with the exception that Mickey played for any other school except Nebraska he wouldn’t even remotely be considered for the job at this pointSince he is not an alum, How many would defend him like Mickey? Exactly... None. Move on and find a qualified coach with some history and get this thing moving in the right direction.
Incorrect. I don’t want Mickey to get the job. I want to hire the best coach for the job. Mickey has some winning attributes though. And he inherited a sh*t show so in that respect he probably never had a chance. But kids love playing for him and as HC he would have more recruiting prowess than any name I’ve seen so far.Nebraska isn't a "learn on the job" type of place. Imagine if Alabama hired interim Joe kines just for the "feel good Disney story" instead of getting Saban? It would have been a joke. That is what you and others want here which is ridiculous.

I disagree. He has things going for him as I previously stated. That said, I trust Trev will find the right man for the job. Guaranteed that whoever it is he’ll be better than SF.Success as a coordinator, success as an associate head coach, success as a head coach and success as an interim coach are all things Mickey does not have. Literally the only reason to hire him is he is a former husker and people on here like that even though that same belief didn't workfor Nebraska the last five years.
What traits does he possess to even consider him HC material at Nebraska? None really. The only thing the guy knows is passing game, that's it. He's not personable.. and by proxy, he's likely not a good recruiter either. He might be a good QB coach, but that is about his ceiling imo.Since he is not an alum, How many would defend him like Mickey? Exactly... None. Move on and find a qualified coach with some history and get this thing moving in the right direction.
Simple answer is recruiting. Mickey can attract high quality talent like #3 and Malachi Coleman as examples.Since he is not an alum, How many would defend him like Mickey? Exactly... None. Move on and find a qualified coach with some history and get this thing moving in the right direction.
I agree with almost everything you posted BUT we've seen more poorly coached games this season. Chin probably put some of the most illogical schemes on the field I've ever seen. At least this game mainly entailed only one very bad decision albeit one that lasted almost the whole game involving QBs.You would think since 99.9% of this room felt a QB change was in order after 3-4 straight 3 and outs Trev would be asking himself that same question.
When NU got up 10-0, I wouldn't have given a crap if they alternated QBs every other series if it was allowing NU to move the ball for a 1st down or two and run the play clock down to 2-3 seconds each snap, as long as there was some offensive movement being shown by a QB.
I'd be throwing those dink passes, have the QB out of the pocket with the chance to run if the patterns broke down, and find a way to move the chains and stay in bounds to shorten the game. But rolling Purdy out to throw the ball is laughable with the floating ducks he unleashes.
I also asked myself, after 8+ games, what the **** is Rahmir doing in the backfield? Was that nothing more than a pacification for his dropping that key pass last week?
Everything in athletics isn't about emotions, it might be about winning some ****ing games along the way.
One of the most poorly led and coached games I've watched from NU during these two decades of charades.
The game was there for the taking.
lol, with a career long of 29 yards, Rahmir has never been a threat to take one to the house.I agree with almost everything you posted BUT we've seen more poorly coached games this season. Chin probably put some of the most illogical schemes on the field I've ever seen.

Rhamir is on the field because he's earned the time in practice and he poses a threat to take one to the house. His plays got blown up Saturday but that wasn't his fault. He also plays because Yant can't pick up a blitz to save his life.
he's got great speed. It's not his fault that he's played behind a crappy O line and had QBs who couldn't complete a short touch pass to a RB. He has a 41 yard catch for a TD. So much for the 29 yard career long. He has multiple other TDs as well.lol, with a career long of 29 yards, Rahmir has never been a threat to take one to the house.
I'll give you part of that. With Chins, NU was expected to take the beating as per usual.I agree with almost everything you posted BUT we've seen more poorly coached games this season.
