Yeah, not sure logic is a strong suit with this one.
the video was kinda dry humor...but
ask casey thompson where he is going, "to the nfl"
ask that offensive linemen that last name starts with a b, that everyone bangs on, where he's going, "to the nfl"
ask they recruiting experts that say nebraska can't win running the ball, because all the recruits "are nfl bound"
ask the water boy where he's going "to replace jerry jones"

so I suggest we might look at a oakland raiders head coach...a super bowl coach....
who is asking for work...and is 100% nfl..

and all the sudden I'm not the one playing with a full deck...hmmmm

I hope MJ does so well Trev has no choice but to make it permanent. How could that not be every single Husker fan's wish? Now do I think it will happen? Seems like tall odds to me, but I'm rooting for it.
Not every husker fan some of us want nothing to do with rookie coaching experiments.

He is unhireable. Period. Move on to talking about something that isn’t a 100% waste of time. You can whine about snowflakes all you want but it won’t change the facts.

That is odd. So you thought Frost was going to win those same games then?
When the season started yes, I believed we could win all of the games except for Oklahoma, Michigan and Wisconsin. However, I have changed my mind about Wisconsin as they lost to Illinois who lost to Indiana who we just beat.

Yes all of them except for Oklahoma who we were completely outmatched by. I would also say most likely Michigan as well, but every other game is winnable.
Oklahoma sucks. We just weren't ready to compete given the situation.

Why? Frost has no track record of beating good teams or ranked teams at NU. He never had a winning season here. What could possibly lead you to believe that he would win any of those let alone all?

Why, let me list the reasons why I thought we could win all the other games before the season started:

Northwestern - crushed them the year before. Had no reason to believe they would beat us this year.

North Dakota - We beat Fordham last year. North Dakota is about the same caliber as Fordham.

Georgia Southern - similar to Buffalo last year. No reason to think they would win

Oklahoma - expected loss, but figured it would be close

Indiana - went 2-10 last year. Didn't expect them to be good this year

Rutgers - we've beaten Rutgers every year we played them. Didn't see that streak coming to an end

Purdue - not that great. We have momentum going into the game and pull out a win

Illinois - we got momentum going in the game and finally get the monkey off our backs against them

Michigan - expected loss but figured we keep it close

Wisconsin - expected loss but figured it would be close

Minnesota - expected a win just like we beat them in 2018. We were about due for a win against them

Iowa - finally we get that monkey off our backs and win. Didn't expect them to be as good as they were last season

When people name Gruden, it's a tip-off that they are neither smart, nor a serious person.
Yep no matter how you feel about the Gruden emails or about anything Gruden related, he isn't coming to Nebraska. Urban has a higher chance of being the next Husker coach than Gruden does and Urban isn't coming. Urban would be a much better coach too. Gruden has a losing record since the Super Bowl and hasn't won a playoff game. Not to mention, he would have no idea how to win in college. It would be lovie smith all over again.

8 wins? He isn’t starting week 1. He is starting 1-2, with a team that obviously has alot of issues. I’m not sure asking him to go 7-2 is a realistic or fair audition.
Who said it was going to be realistic or fair? He doesn't have the requisite experience in the first place, and his unit isn't exactly outperforming expectations either. This is a pivotal moment in our program's history and there's no reason we should settle or take such a massive risk on a guy whose qualifications aren't all that great.

Well with us now having some steep competition to get Leipold in UW. We all better hope 1) Jim Leonhard is as good as advertised and 2) Mickey is as good as advertised because I don't know if Leipold would pick us over the Badgers.

Is he even at the top of our list?

I saw more fire and emotion on the sideline in one game than I saw in 5 years under Frost. I'm not saying he's going to be the head coach next year but I hope he makes it impossible to get rid of him. That means we finish the season on a high note.

They might be winnable but it would be extremely foolish to set that bar for any coach let alone a guy who just took over our dumpster fire
It’s undoubtedly a dumpster fire

but we also have the best skill players in the division by a wide margin

And also the most undisciplined by a wide margin. That will change, for sure, under MJ, but will it change in time since this started mid season? I just don’t know what to expect.

What is up with this 1). Micky won a game as an interim HC so now he is the coach of the future and 2). Leipold is the only other coach that exists outside of Micky (who btw is the new HC if you haven’t heard), mentality?

Like, do you actually want Nebraska to be good or are you just trying to feel good?

I would think or hope he would find the environment better at Nebraska, he's worked in both states. I think it a matter of pros and cons and Nebraska has a few more pros than UW has I believe.

1: Larger contract money to offer.
2: More NIL money, it's a matter of buying players now.
3: Better national brand with a solid history.
4: Loyal fans that fill the stadium every game who don't turn tail and run.
5: We don't have the higher academic recruit requirements that UW has.

I know UW is better than us right now but let's see what happens once USC and UCLA enter the BIG and the conference realigns divisions or does away with divisions altogether.

From what some national talking heads are saying. UW also doesnt seem to have the infrastructure that a B1G program should have in terms of support staff, facilities, and other things you need to win. Nebraska definitely wins in that department. I'm really hopeful we get Lance cause if we dont he'll be whooping our asses at UW.

We can support MJ and hope he wins out and cheer for the guy. I’d question your fanship if you didn’t. That doesn’t mean we have to anoint him after one game.

He IS the coach right now. He IS running a major P5 program. The job is his to lose.
I was with you until the last sentence. I believe the odds of him keeping this gig are almost insurmountable. At least I hope so. If he is our coach after this season, we will absolutely regret it. Don’t F this up Trev.

I know, I get it. I’m also realistic enough to understand that if he goes on some amazing run, he ain’t going anywhere.

Leonhard is just one of those guys who makes a difference, no matter what the capacity. He was a game changer as a player and he’s already turning heads as an assistant coach. If Bucky passes on him, they’ll end up regretting it.

There's no such thing as a "short term" contract anymore, if it's not 5 years you can't recruit.

Mickey should at least have a winning record before getting the job. I say he should have 8 wins minimum. 7 wins is kind of sketchy. 6 or less is unacceptable.
6 would be good, look what he started with.trev will help him anyway he can

- If he wins the west he gets the job.
- if he wins 7 with one loss at the big house he gets the job
- if he wins 6 but one is a massive upset at Michigan it's close but he probably gets the job
