At a minimum, the talent level would drastically improve over time with him as the head coach. If it didn't work out, at least the foundation would be significantly better talent wise than when he got here.
Hard to to come in with this dumpster fire and coach Zombies that that have poor training and losing mind frame.. God would have a tough time with this squad!
Give him.. Mickey.. an off season with quality coaches and trainers before passing judgment!
He's lost two games. Who said he's disqualified because of that? I haven't seen it. He seems to be the overwhelming popular choice.
Keep bringing in good talent with upside and work this years team to max it’s chances for success.
He needs to keep evaluating the coaches and players here as well. When he decides on the changes he thinks will work the best, May he get the chance to make them. I like what I see overall from the changes he is making. May this second bye week help the defense in its growth for the year.

As I did.. just putting me two cents in about the f’d team and partial staff he inherited.
And besides, somebody who knows somebody who knows somebody already said its BOB, and everyone has already jumped on that train. Or it'll prob be Deion....yeah that's it. Deion.
I am of a similar mind
It’s crazy how many hung on to our previous coach (a world class a-hole and dipshit) all the way to the end yet are so willing to throw a fellow former standout quarterback away with his soiled bath water
I don’t give a **** about experience. When the lights are bright, you either have it or you don’t & Mickey appears to have it
We should all be over the moon that a member of the NU and Osborne family who literally gave his body to the program has come back to lead us with the passion we all share, but instead we are clamoring for some lame outsider or another
You should get a hold of Trev pronto and let him know, you made an extraordinary case for his hire.
No, Mickey Joseph is not qualified to be HC here. Do I hope he stays on staff? Absolutely...as WR coach and recruiting coordinator. Nobody loves Nebraska more than Mickey Joseph
Let’s make permanent the next Husker that’s nice to us. I say give them the interim tag and a 4-5 year contract and then at the end we’ll see if he’s good enough
We need to stop asking past players to come and teach our kids "how we did it". We need to start a new path and let the past be. I think we saw with Frost that the older players/coaches/fans are keeping us from moving on. Honer them every once in a while but let them enjoy their retirement.
Let's get the best people we can and let them do their jobs.

Let's say give us a coach that can build a program that is proven. I like Mickey, but c'mon. man.
Wrapped up in a couple of wins against ********. Here we go again. yeah they play hard for him, but there is more to the college game than that. He is not ready for that. Find a proven coach that builds. Use your head. We will find one. Mickey, although a good WR coach, is not the answer. Keep him on, but other than that? His resume is not exactly stellar. He will not be the head coach. I promise you that.

His resume is much more stellar than this post. And I'm not sold on giving him the job. You just post like trash.
I don't know if there are two more polar opposites than Mickey and our previous head coach
I post reality. His resume, aside from LSU sucks. He is about to be 2-4 as a head coach, however he is a smooth talker and his players don't quit. Yeah. give him the job.

Stellar? Ok. You are the man. Learn the hard way like every other homer. That's cool, though. He might be kept on as an assistant, but they are already talking to a certain coach about the job. Save this post and we will talk in 5 weeks.

I love MJ and I actually think he would be a really good head coach. But as I said weeks ago, this idea that the rest of this season was his "audition" for the job is evidence that Trev is in no way serious about hiring him permanently. Frost and his staff woefully under recruited talent on both lines and at linebacker. They then proceeded to under coach and under develop even those players they did get. The result is a roster that will need two years to replenish via the transfer portal, Juco recruiting, and normal recruiting. There is no way that MJ coaching this current roster is a fair and accurate gauge of his abilities in terms of win/loss ratio. I highly doubt we win another game this year -- maybe Iowa -- but none of that is MJ's fault. He does seem to have the guys playing harder.
So if we do win 2-3 more games. How would you feel about him getting the gig?
I would not mind if he went 0-5 and got handed the gig. What Trev has to do is to really take a long hard look at how MJ relates to his players and to his staff. In other words, look at his leadership qualities and forget the stupid won-loss record since that means absolutely nothing. Frost left us with an absolute **** fire of talentless lines and four years of no development. MJ cannot fix that in half a season. I would prefer it if we hired a seasoned head coach. But which one that is rumored is actually worth a **** really? Aranda, Leipold, Kleiman, Rhule, O'Brien ... they all have downsides if you look closely despite having an upside as well. Every hire is a risk. There is no slam dunk hire.
If by some miracle we got Kiffin here I would love that. But quite frankly, none of the usual suspects makes me all giddy inside with delight at the the thought of them being our head coach. ANYONE is an improvement over Frost, which is the good thing in all of this.
So if Trev hires MJ I would just sit back and say, "Ok, cool. I hope he works out as our coach."
I don't know either personally, but:
frost is an outward dickhead
Mickey fostered like 75 kids out of the kindness of his own heart
seems to me, personality wise, everybody on Earth lands somewhere in between those two
if you'd like to elaborate on your opinion (or perhaps you have facts?), I'd be interested to hear more
You might enjoy listening to this. They ask some interesting questions and have some interesting insights.
Trev is in the unfortunate position of having to justify the hire. Really hard to do that with Mickey, short of him winning the remainder save Michigan, even if we can say it isnt his fault and the players really like him, as far as has been reported to us by "the media."
If Trev really wants him around, give him a bunch of money, give him 30 different titles, except for head coach.
I see it like this exactly. You have it and your record shows it or you don't. It isn't complicated.
If Nebraska cannot land a head coach that wins and has proven it. Then I say let Mickey have a shot.
All the coaches I've seen people throw out here are .600 coaches or coaches with 2 years on the job.
Mickey can legit recruit, which cannot be overstated for Nebraska, he wouldn't bail once he becomes successful and I don't see him mailing it in when things don't go his way.
How do we know that Mickey "has it"? Is it the wins over those powerhouses Indiana and Rutgers that has you convinced? Pump the brakes and see how the season plays out before proclaiming that Mickey "has it".
If Mickey can get the troops to win this weekend vs Illinois, then Trev needs to offer him the job. Done deal!!!
