He's been even worse than Frost. Frost hadn't lost a game by more than 10 the last two years. Mickey's been blown out three times.
Still with Mickey..

No according to these dumbasses we should be winning
Any coach should’ve been able to run the table with these DIV II Players.
Well, I'm not anointing MJ. I'm just a helluva lot more patient than most of you guys.
Our third-party recruiting rankings say otherwise .. we have div II coaching div I players .. your posting is div III at best!No according to these dumbasses we should be winning
I saw some good things from players who haven't seen much PT yet. Mosai Newsom, Omar Brown, Javier Morton. Gunnerson got some PT. Hausmann seems like he's coming along. I have no idea why these guys haven't played much, but we shouldn't be redshirting anyone if Mickey hoped to have a chance. Besides that, the offense is the major weak point of this team and that's 100% on Mickey for not being able to put at least a serviceable product out there.
Mickey is a great position coach, great recruiter and seems like a great guy. That being said he is NOT a great head coach. Hope Trev finds the right guy since this program is on life support.
I'm getting this terrible feeling that the NU athletic department and administration is incapable of hiring an adequate head coach. Who hired Moos, anyway? Who set this downward spiral in motion? Are they the same ones that hired Alberts? Is there any competency at all at NU?
I don't see any metrics to support trust in either guy. Joseph seems to be passionate and good as an assistant, and Alberts seems well spoken, but neither has done anything of note to help advance the program in their current roles. In fact, Alberts' decision to keep Frost last year just dynamited this year's team.
The AD has his chance to fix this wreck shortly and I believe he will. He’s getting a TON of pressure though from outsiders to hire Mickey. It’s not solely merit based.
I love Mickey. I want him to stay on staff but I believe this job right now is probably too big for him. I think we a guy who has done it elsewhere successfully. JMO
Neither of them were getting much help from their O line. Michigan’s D line >>>>>our O line
Frost dynamited this program. Alberts will be judged by the results of his hire. MJ is not the answer.
I just don't understand the Mickey love. What has he done this year, or even in his entire career, to make people believe he is the guy who can rebuild a program that is in the toilet? Is it because he was a former player here? After Scott Frost, and Greg Austin and Barrett Ruud and Ryan Held, I don't know why anyone would think that matters. Hiring coaches because they played here has not worked out well.
We need to let go of the past, and start from scratch.

I like Mickey. He is a straight shooter. Today after the game he said the coaches need to recruit better. I can’t ever remember Bo, Mike or Scott ever saying that.
Mickey is a great wide receivers coach. He just isn't a great head coach. I hope the next head coach retains him because he can recruit and he knows how to coach wide receivers
You need to hire a new coach with your head and not your heart. Mickey is a heart answer.
Hire the most qualified, most promising candidate you can land. That person is not Mickey.

Maybe at 3-9
If not merit based what is the outside pressure being applied for?
Aren’t they technically short staffed with two of the coaches gone? No one filled those spots, people just moved around right?
Did he mention anything about player development? I find it really hard to believe that this is strickly a talent issue across the board. When it comes to the o line they need to recruit and develop light years better.
Talent needs an upgrade. But the talent we have is also under developed. Thanks SF and CO.
"understands what Husker football needs"
"wait til he gets his guys in here"
"his record against the spread"
every one of you retards in love with the idea of Mickey for HC have completely forgotten how that line of thinking went with Frost. Nebraska has more talent than any other team in the B10W, and our only conference wins are against two teams that are a combined 2-12 in the conference. this is absolutely on Mickey.

I'm really disappointed with Whipple.
I was expecting to see a run game, with the way MJ talked about the coaches needing to be ok with 3 yards a run.
I did not see a run game, really of any sort.
Technically, we ran it 29 times and passed 19 times, so it was 60% run, but the way the game was called, Whip just called a more balanced type of his usual game, rather than any kind of specific run game strategy.
I feel there is a big disconnect between Whip and MJ.. we hear one thing, but get something else.
I thought Chubba played just okay. He was basically a 50% passer, which isn't great, but no interceptions.
I was hoping to see Yant, but he was nowhere to be seen. Also disappointed with the running back coach. All running backs seem to have regressed this year and even Grant looks like a lesser version of what he used to be earlier in the season.
I still think there is a prob with the way Whip runs the offense, it's like he can only do it one way, and if you don't have a QB who can run it correctly, then Whip doesn't have much else to offer in the way of flexibility or otherwise.
I do not want Whipple back as an OC next year.
As to MJ.. I wonder why we have this disconnect with what he says, and with what Whip does. It makes me wonder if he has trouble controlling Whip, of if Whip just does whatever he wants.
This question makes me wonder a lot about the effectiveness of MJ as a head coach. He sets the rules, and if a coach isn't doing what you are telling him, it's insubordination.
Either way, I don't like seeing the language of MJ running down the sideline cursing.. you can see that plain as day, and I do not like it, at all. It's a massive turn off to me, and does not set a good example.
So, my criticisms of MJ are the language, and my question of if he has and can control the staff underneath him.
Trev is privy to the control issues and understands that dynamic better than we can as fans, but it's a question I have, on why we hear one thing and get something different.

Actually, I think we need to get back to the past. It seems nobody has the sack to actually do it. We didn't see any attempt at power run football.
I thought that is what we would see today, based on MJ's comments, but we didn't get that at all.
Every swinging dick that has come in here seems to want to do it their own way, and they fail.
I think if you put Tom's old offense back on the menu it would bring back some respect to the program and maybe some success.
Why is everyone so afraid to do what worked here for years?
I don't get it.
Former Nebraska starting QBs as head coach for the Cornhuskers and their records:
- Bernie Masterson 5-13 (.278)
- Scott Frost 16-31 (.340)
- Mickey Joseph 2-5 (.286)
Since Thompson got injured I've seen this bizarre Smothers drumming.
While neither qb will lead us to victory Smothers has nothing to offer. Yesterday he had 16 yards of offense. Not even sure how that happens with a qb. In the last two games he's led us to a whopping 3 points.

Lay off the sauce MJ is a average wr coach, ****** headcoach........and a overrated recruiter.
He looks befuddled and out of his comfort zone....
You silly clowns want a old wr coach SMDH
There is nothing that galvanizes a locker room more than your head coach getting up to the podium and declaring we need better players after a loss
of course we need better players - but that is something you say in the coaches meetings or 1:1 with the AD not at the podium
The Smothers drumming is only because we have seen more Purdy….until the 2nd half against Michigan. Now the drum is broken. Without CT, we can’t complete forward passes, or take snaps, or for ***** sake, line up correctly.
When Smothers came in he did not play very good.
Why is it when we knock out another B1G team’s QB, the backup QB is equal or better? We have never had a capable backup QB here the last 5 years. Another shortcoming of the Frost era. So glad that turd is gone!
Well I’m glad he finally said what everyone already knows! Only about 10% of the roster actually produces. Who cares if the other 90% get butthurt because they are lazy, not motivated, scared, or have low football IQ to try and make a difference and help the team.
I hope the next coach flips the full 90% and 100% of the incompetent O-line that we have. Walk-ons could come in and there would be no drop off. These non-producers have no business being on scholarship and playing in FBS.
If our running game isn't working, then we have to pass. If we run the ball over and over but don't get first downs, what does that accomplish?
