This is interesting. Have they been told they need to win the West to sick around?
Whipple Comment
- Thread starter headcard
- Start date
hc, I heard that as well. I think he is just stating that if they are not successful the rest of the way, a new HC will likely be brought in and hire his own staff. Imo, I doubt that there have been parameters like that expressed to the current staff. I could be wrong, though.
Love his honesty
He was asked about lighting up our Qb. I thought his answer shed light on how he coaches.
Mark Whipple knows what it takes to have a great offense and be a great QB. He's coached a couple of them in Big Ben and Kenny Pickett. He's also old and is making 900k a year for the next 2 years regardless if he is retained or not. He gives no fvcks.
Now we all know what has to be done for MJ to be the next head coach. Indy or bust.
Nothing wrong with what he said. He is not wrong
I love coach Whipple
I hope he's on the staff beyond just this season. The offense has really struggled because the offensive line is horrible
Whip needed a job. Whip knew Frost was not going to be employed long. Whip got a 3 year guarantee to fund his retirement. Good for Whip.
Being paid to not work has been his plan all along.
I heard it more as trying turn around a loser culture.
He's doing a great job. And I love his straightforwardness
So is that all it takes for a WR coach to take over as a head coach at NEBRASKA. smdh
Beat Rutgers and folks around here will be ready to hand out lifetime contracts to the entire staff……
Thought he got a 2-year deal? Either way, going to disagree that his plan was being paid not to work. Seems like the guys is working his ass off and wants to win to me.
if he wins, YES
His son is on staff at NU as well (offensive quality control) - he isn’t going to tank it
He needs to be more creative in this conference.
Very much this. Whipple is a veteran coach with documented successes. I think the IHC and the coordinators are going to practice early and honest communication with the kids.
The deal was he came here to run the offense. I have no doubt after the defense crapped the bed against NW Frost thought there was nothing wrong with the defense, we just needed to score more points and he started meddling in what Whipple was doing. The result was too many cooks in the kitchen and the offense being even more confused, unfocused, and illogical than it had been the last 4 years. Now it is truly Mr. Whipple's offense and seemed to be more functional last week when not overcoming 2nd and 23. I expect Micky may have suggested he slow down and run more at the end, but that is head coach prerogative. So I agree, looks to me like the guy has pride, is passionate, and cares.
Whip is a smart guy. He knows that we need some swag. There really isn't much to lose. House money season from here on out. Could get fun if we can take these next two.
That culture of coming out hot then rest on it was a Frost calling card. I’m glad the coaches are addressing the indifferent attitude this team has had for years. Seems only Mickey, Busch, & Whipple have ever mentioned the attitude issues over the years. The others liked to broom it under the “close” rug.
Whipple doesn't give a shit- he's made and the incoming HC won't keep him.
Who are you Sherlock Holmes? Cmon man he’s just saying they need to win as many games because that’s their interview. Every teams goal is to win their division
I take it like he is saying act like you have won before and carry yourself that way. Take care of your shit and move forward. Don’t be satisfied with achievement of one win.
What are you some sort of message board smart ass? Come on we are just having conversations about what the coaches said in their press conferences.
You really got under his skin for him to come out of hiding to respond to your post after nearly 9 years in hibernation.
Well not sure what it would take. But winning the west would most likely be the only guarantee of Mickey keeping the job. Imagine the pressure on next coach well Mickey got to Indy with no offseason starting 1-3. The legend of Mickey Joseph would be too much for most. Next coach would have to run the table lol.
His brutal honesty was refreshing to me. I also saw most his comments as challenging his guys to step up.
Love that guy.
