Stone Cold

So im lost, seems like people are 50/50 this is a good hire

I think this does a hand full of things both good and bad.  I think it sadly unifies the fan base, those who were for mickey are more than likely at a cross roads with what happened (even if hes guilty or not).  I think with the university it unfortunately means ties need to be cut, no matter what this is not a good look, and like someone else said on another thread, bad pr guilty or not is still bad pr.  This is a bad look no matter how you slice it.  It think it puts extra stress on Matt Rhule and his new staff,  They will now need to start from scratch fixing all the bad pr this now caused and try to salvage not only the relationships with the new recruits but also the players that want to stay here.  And last but not the most important,  i think this kills next season.  With mickey out and the bad pr we will lose recruits and we will lose players already here.  Matt and staff wont be able to recover in enough time and next season is worse than this one.  Just my thoughts.

There have been many sentiments on here about the family and prayers and im for all of that.  But i wanted to start something about where do we go from here as the program and university.  What damage control do you think will be needed for recruiting in keeping kids here and the ones that were already spoken to.  How will the university move forward,  we had quite a few images and promotional videos made with mickey, will all of those be removed.  How does Matt Rhule move beyond this, does he try to go and get his own ace recruiter, does the check book open up further.  Just wanted your folks thoughts on this.

This is a bad take to look at it, but im sorry if this is part our fault as fans.  Putting so much pressure on people and some people may not be able to and then they snap.  It happens all the time, this job this team is alot of pressure and now this happened.  Maybe he had hoped that he could really get that job and he didnt and he took it hard, thats how life is but i guess.  I dont know, im just completely blown away.  My wife thought i was yelling that someone died.  This is just unbelievable

Would be funny if he accidentally hits the switch for the stadium lights and he lights up campus at 4 AM on a Tuesday morning. 

Or sets of the pyrotechnics  

How i imagine Mickeys press conference will go.

I don't know that it is.  Just makes the cliff of disappointment higher for our fan corpses to fall off and slam into the rocks on the shores of ineptitude.

Schumann has the better recruiting history. He’s highly touted. Similar to Leonard believed to be a future head coach himself. He’s worked alongside some very successful coaches. I’d say that he has an edge. 

Who do we have  better chance of keeping for a couple of years.

Not what I said, but ok.  Didn’t everyone criticize the last coach for bringing his old staff???? Said nothing about hiring “our buddies”. In fact I reread the post many times and can’t find it. I typically avoid conflict on HB, but obviously others like to seek it out, even when it isn’t there.

I would like to think you can see how weve all drank the bring your buddies to work with you kool aid.  With mickey we know what he brings,  PLAYERS

Now I'm curious.   I would assume it would also be north of 1.5 if reports are that's where it settled at, which would make him the highest paid non OC/DC coach in the country at 1.5.   If he gets that, OC/DC would be closer to 1.75-2M. Which would put them in the top 10 in assistant coach pay, and Nebraska would have 3 in the top 15. That's crazy money.

Get it done

I'm never going to be surprised when a new head coach hires guys he is familiar working with to fill out his assistant coaching staff.  That head coach needs to ensure everyone is on the same page and is aligned with what the head coach is doing to establish a new identity for a football program.

 

EDIT:  I will also echo Mav's comment about time being of the essence.  Rhule can't wait around on guys who need a few days to make a decision.

I thought there were better qualified guys at other schools.

I hope this isnt bad, sounds like hes bailing out his buddies that followed him to carolina.
