Why Mickey won't be head coach
- Thread starter moralvictories
- Start date
What more proof do you need? He is what he is. Nothing's going to change drastically this year one way or the other.
If he becomes head coach he isn’t keeping the whole staff, there will be changes.. I believe that is where your mind process is at..
Can we at least give the team 5 more games proving themselves instead of bitching and complaining? We’ve done too much of that for the last 8 years..
Oh good, his record for a team that he didn't have much to do with putting it together or coaching it or selecting the OC and not to mention the DC was fired for being terrible.
The only thing missing is we just need a big scandal of some kind. I will make no comment if MJ should be the HC or now, that's Trevs call and he has all of the inside information but wow did MJ get handed a terrible mess.

aranda may want to get off baylors sinkin ship before it too late..0-6 in morgan town...
they lost 3 allready and the big 12 don't look like it's gonna get easier with tcu and okie light replaceing the 2 teams leaving.....plus it's gonna pay alot worse....rape cases may increase again...etc...
(aranda can pull a riley and bring his best players and coaches with him)
trev need to offer aranda big bucks, with the stipulation it includes mickey...
the worse that can happen is baylor has to give aranda a raise...

Kids Table?! For the last twenty years we haven't even been invited to the Thanksgiving meal. Joseph all the way. He's generated more excitement for the program than Callahan did his third year. Little kids are coming up to me and saying they love Mickey. My grandma wants to knit me Mickey J. socks. Give up your hatred and join the Mickey J. club.
The players seem to have really bought into Mickey.
If he doesn’t get the job, it will take a very special and humble man to then step back and give the team back to another, while remaining on the new staff.
And a new Head Coach may not want him on staff. And have to compete for the respect and leadership of the team. It can get a little messy.
I have no inside information, just experience. But I could see Mickey moving on if not given the job. And just as likely by his own decision.

I agree. I've been around and recognize leadership when I see it. Mickey has it.
I thought this was the best officiating crew we have seen this year. For the most part they left the flags in their pockets and stayed out of the way of the game.
I think "overall", most that are in favor of Mickey would like to see how he manages the team down the stretch, then if they are satisfied they wouldn't mind him being named HC.
I think the majority, at a minimum, want Mickey retained by the next staff.
I don't recall seeing many just say "hire him now." Almost all pro-Mickey fans are saying let's see how it plays out before Trev hires or dismisses Mickey from the conversation.
If a new coach is hired, that would make 3 different Head Coaches in about 4 months?
So our true freshman kids would have already had 3 coaches, and maybe 1 or even 2 position coaches. (DC, that were fired).
Everything Frost and Mickey would have told them would be out the door.
Do you buy a car or an appliance without knowing the price and extra features? I have hired many people, salary and benefits are always talked about in the initial phase of hiring... thst is one way to thin the herd.
Please, you are comparing buying an appliance to hiring a multimillon dollar leader of a program? I too have hired multiple people over the years in my career but never a college football coach possibly with an agent who also has potential.buy out options.and multiple other complex issues. Those "negotiations" are not going on with multiple people at the same time. Trev isn't negotiation on line 1 with one guy and line 2 with another for the position.
These coaches know what the salary may be and when both sides decide things are beneficial for both, they can negotiate a myriad of items.
Good grief what a dumb post. The biggest problem with this team right now is that we are thin and weak on both lines with no magic bullet players sitting on the bench ready to make their mark. We are also thin and awful at linebacker. This is what MJ is dealing with. And Trev knows that too. But Trev is in a bind here because he knows two things: 1) MJ was dealt a crappy hand and should not be judged on how many wins he has but on how much team discipline, "want to", and unity they have. However, 2) Trev also knows that if MJ loses all the rest of our games (and we could easily do that) and gets boat raced by Michigan that the optics are not good and there will be little momentum going into the recruiting season. No hype. No "new coach" bounce. But if Trev is smart, and he is, he will not base his decision on optics. He will take a long look at MJ and decide based on how good a coach he thinks he is for the long haul.
I'd be happy with any of those TBF, albeit a different order, but that is how we all are.
