It'll depend on the meeting with Rhule, in part. They'll discuss how Davis was released with Caroline, Micey's goals, and Rhule's prime tenets as a head guy. If those align, along with the money, Mickey could be retained.
With Fickell going to Wisky, and if Rhule is the developer we all want to believe he is, I could see a real rivalry between these two. I wish it developed into the weightiness of the OU / Neb days of old. Winner not just gets to a conference bid but is a front seat driver for top seed in the playoff.
A man can dream...
A joke of a DB. I used to be a prophet when he played. "They're going to throw the ball at, and over, Grixby. Watch" On cue, Cortney was on his back having given up a first down or a TD. Constantly.
The most realistic I can be is in three statements.
1. Recruiting well is critical
2. Developing talent is tantamount, or paramount, to #1
3. These things happening for the OLine and DLine are immense
Mickey has shown to be highly effective in #1. Rhule's specialty is supposedly #2...combined effort (including Duval never being allowed back on campus) for #3 with assistants.
Change is expected, but let's be as focused and relevant with #1-3 above. I believe Mickey is key out the gate.
I've stated in the other thread. I believe Fickell would be the best option. Meyer would be #1 if he wasn't a shred of emotional and situational life intelligence.
Fickell flat out said not interested.
