The Scarlet Pimpernel

Like I've said, I'm a big fan of Mickey Joseph... just not as head coach. yeah except we could easily be up 14-6. Too many points left on the field that will undoubtedly bite us in the rear end at the end of the game

Oh, I've seen it, and I love it.

another pass on 1st

Chadwell is becoming more and more desirable, mainly because I'm sick of all this passing

it's almost like Whip calls plays that will guarantee a passing play on 3rd down

yeah let's throw some more, why not

Whip just can't help himself

Considering their defense allows less than 9 ppg, the odds are against us

preferable or not, he wouldn’t have survived. Look at what happened to Bo, and he was at least hitting 9 wins a year

I gave up the Urban Meyer pipe dream; you need to do the same with Deion. It’s not happening.

Pretty sure Ed O lives in Florida now. Definitely would love to have him coach DL. Excellent recruiter as well.

I disagree. Here were his records at WF: 3-9 3-9 (he likely would've been fired here) 7-6 8-5 7-6 (or here) 8-5 4-5 (or here) He didn't hit 9 wins til Year 8. No way he would've survived that long in Lincoln. And please stop with the "more resources" spiel. We already tried that and we know how it turned out.

you can “lol” all you want - truth of the matter is that if he did the same thing here that he did at Wake he would’ve been fired Year 5 if not sooner

Took him 8 years to get WF turned around. We don't have the patience nor the time.

No, if you hire the best option, it means there was no one better on your list of options. Reading comprehension is difficult, I know.

You don't want Coach O as head coach. Trust me on this. As a coordinator maybe, but not head coach.

not if the person we get is the best option

…or maybe I don’t have MJ rated as highly as you do as a HC? There are several coaches I’d rate higher, on experience alone… and I’m a big MJ fan. I just prefer him in a lesser role.

That's where I am. If Mickey's chosen, it'll be because we couldn't get anyone better.

I'm very familiar with him and I'm hoping that he'll stay at Nebraska and I can help him to get a jump start on some of our top players. I'd love to see my school become a pipeline to Nebraska. I also have no doubt in his recruiting ability because I've witnessed it firsthand. That said, I'm just not sure that he's head coach material, at least not on the level we need to be a championship-caliber team.

That's what I'm optimistically hoping for

It won't be as a coordinator; likely working with the receivers in some capacity. It's also possible that he could get offered HC gigs at some smaller schools. What do you think will happen if he stays here? He's not going to be an OC, likely WRs/associate HC/recruiting coordinator with a nice pay raise. Gotta pay him whatever it takes to get him to stay. Any new coach worth is salt is going to recognize MJ's value to this program.
