In that case, please let me apologize in advance.Been a member since 07 and have never put anyone on ignore. There have been some great candidates, but never pulled the trigger, until today.
Have you watched any Husker football since the Goergia southern game?Not bashing Mickey but how has Mickey already successfully coached at Nebraska
Stfu, c*#k sucker.Trev is an imbecile. It’s true. He can’t hire the best because they don’t want to work for him.
Not me.According to this article from today that seems to be circulating elsewhere, Mickey is likely our next HC. Now, take it with a grain of salt (I hate the Fansided site personally). But I did see this same article appear multiple sites...
Long story short: Trev sounds like he's been offering incentive based contracts to the major candidates we've all been debating over. Just as some cautioned against (I know @dinglefritz warned against it). Because of this, it sounds like we haven't had much for bites from anyone in the candidate field. I wholeheartedly doubt it's due to "being in Nebraska" as some clowns like to make it seem all about.
My take: Part of me appreciates Trev ending the approach of UNL being a welfare program for the already wealthy (coaches who come here, get paid, fail, then are inevitably fired and paid some more). But part of me understands the very real nature of what it takes to compete in the marketplace for top notch coaches (even if they do present very real risk themselves).
Overall though, I for one AM ready for HC Mickey Joseph to take the reigns next year and doing what he can with his recruiting prowess to get Frost's abortion of a team repaired to at least compete for the West once more (at least one more year of divisions in the B1G from what I read earlier). I just hope he goes and gets some killer assistants. THAT is where B1G money should be spent.
To be clear, I'm not stating I have inside info or anything like that. Just passing along what I read and was surprised to see come up in my feed.One of the many reasons I laugh at these threads where people claim to have some inside info and who the next coach is going to be, is because I think we are in a position where we almost have to let the season play out and see how Mickey does, because can you imagine the embarrassment if we hire somebody after Mickey does a great job and wins a game or four that nobody expected him to, that would just look bad. So I believe we were in a wait and see mode personally and very little movement is happening on the coaching front for now
Cool story broSHIT ARTICAL and shit post
Weren't you all for him not too long ago? Maybe I'm missing you for one of the many others?Not me.
No. I'm not stupid. If he were to hit it out of the park, it would be hard to give it to someone else. The truth is, we're a bad team, we won't make a bowl game, and I don't believe he will do nearly enough to convince me he's the right guy. He's got some good characteristics but we need proven results.Weren't you all for him not too long ago? Maybe I'm missing you for one of the many others?

I'm sure your comment is directed at the author. Just had to clarify that I'm not that guy 😂
I'm curious what a HCMJ staff would look like...who stays from the current staff...who does he bring in?I have no information on what will happen but I do feel Joseph can do a good job and bring in the right recruits and transfers to fit in at Nebraska. I also believe Joseph will put together a staff he wants that will finally fit what Nebraska needs most, physically fast smart players.
One thing I do believe… if MJ is the guy he is going to work his tail off to turn this ship around. Maybe he isn’t the best coach, but hard work can cover a lot of ground, and if he hires quality assistants, we could do ALOT worse than Mickey.
Good question and I have no idea but I'm sure he would find coaches he wants and won't be afraid to make the necessary changes to get this program back on the rails.I'm curious what a HCMJ staff would look like...who stays from the current staff...who does he bring in?
But yet you’ve been willing to ignore “recruiting results” for Leipold. You wanted to throw a check at LL for what it would take when he started off 5-0. He since lost the last 3 and might not win another game this season. I’m not trying to be a jerk but what I’m saying is most of these flavors of the year guys, its just way too early on them to crown them. And believe it or not I respect your views regardless if I agree with themNo. I'm not stupid. If he were to hit it out of the park, it would be hard to give it to someone else. The truth is, we're a bad team, we won't make a bowl game, and I don't believe he will do nearly enough to convince me he's the right guy. He's got some good characteristics but we need proven results.
thats why aranda as hc, and keeping mickey as oc is probably the best outcome that trev needs to make happenOne strength for MJ is his connections in the south and african american community. If you look at his bio he's worked/coached at black colleges and mentored many kids. He could get some freak athletes.
It’d be ideal to find a proven HC and keep MJ on staff, but I don’t see Mickey sticking around if he’s not HC.thats why aranda as hc, and keeping mickey as oc is probably the best outcome that trev needs to make happen
Hell no. You bring in big time coordinators, not newbies.thats why aranda as hc, and keeping mickey as oc is probably the best outcome that trev needs to make happen
He’s been a HC at smaller black colleges and associate head coach at multiple colleges including lsu. He’s just never been a hc at a major college.I think Mickey is doing all he can at his current post. I like his leadership and message. Sorry to say, but the truth is he’s never ran a program. I get the warm and fuzzies because he is a former player. He is also a great recruiter. The only thing knocking him is that if he wasn’t a former player, he’d be nowhere on any coaching board. I’m fine if he gets the job, I’m fine if they keep him around as receivers coach. What I don’t see is being able to attract a program builder, and telling them they have to hire certain people or the team has to run a certain offense. Most serious coaches may frown on that.
I agree for sure.It’d be ideal to find a proven HC and keep MJ on staff, but I don’t see Mickey sticking around if he’s not HC.
As for OC, there’s a ton that goes into calling plays, and I’m not sure MJ would be the best choice for that at this level.
MJ as head coach suits his skillset better (in my opinion) if he can attract a couple of elite coordinators, but that’s also a big question mark.
I’d be disappointed. But I’d support him (and the team).According to this article from today that seems to be circulating elsewhere, Mickey is likely our next HC. Now, take it with a grain of salt (I hate the Fansided site personally). But I did see this same article appear multiple sites...

I wholeheartedly doubt it's due to "being in Nebraska" as some clowns like to make it seem all about.

So my question to you - Do you really believe the story is accurate? Do you believe Trev is that ignorant as to what is going on across the country that he would jeopardize Nebraska's chances? Do you think he does this on his own without consult HIS bosses? I do not, but it gives people something to complain about.If trev is offering heavily incentive based contracts and a very average salary then he should be fired for not negotiating in good faith. This isn’t the summit league
this is his first football or basketball hire in any capacity. Coaches and agents talk - I hope our AD isn’t going to wear the label of being intensely frugal in the world of massive athletic department revenue - that reputation will hurt you in future hires including assistants
That’s not simple. Assuming this hot shot coach brings in his guys, I’d assume one of these big time coordinator is going to want a fair shot at the big seat in 3-5 years. Not lose it to one of their subordinates pre ordained.It is really simple. Bring in a solid HC who only cares to be here 3 - 5 years. That will attract good coordinators. Mickey is Assistant HC / receivers coach / head recruiter, give him healthy pay raise, and Mickey takes over at the appropriate time.
this is where my wisdom in matters shines fourth...blinding many..Hell no. You bring in big time coordinators, not newbies.
That was a little tongue n cheek, but if a coordinator is making 1.5 mill, they may just be perfectly content at their positionThat’s not simple. Assuming this hot shot coach brings in his guys, I’d assume one of these big time coordinator is going to want a fair shot at the big seat in 3-5 years. Not lose it to one of their subordinates pre ordained.
these are all alphas, highly doubt you stack them up four deep and keep them together for any amount of time. Which is why saban more or less has a revolving door.
I think it is a lot of guessing by sportswriters. It is always a race to see who can get the scoop and I doubt if Trev is telling too many people what he is up to.If trev is offering heavily incentive based contracts and a very average salary then he should be fired for not negotiating in good faith. This isn’t the summit league

If the article were true (huge IF) Then I agree with you need on the how/why.I’d be disappointed. But I’d support him (and the team).
Totally agree!!That’s not simple. Assuming this hot shot coach brings in his guys, I’d assume one of these big time coordinator is going to want a fair shot at the big seat in 3-5 years. Not lose it to one of their subordinates pre ordained.

Based on what I read in the article by a dude who has "sources" lolWhat do you mean by "Trev sounds like.....)?
