If you don't want to get old just tell an old person. Some of them would be delighted to help you with that, I'm sure.

Sorry. I guess we could turn to his mincing around the sidelines as Knights coach for ten or twelve years.

I could never stand Frank Solich ever since driver's ed at Southeast High when he'd play with his nads while "instructing." Corner of the eye stuff that staring at the road ahead could not fully alleviate. The guys laughed about it but all the gals could talk about was his "cute walk."

When was he an assistant or coordinator here?

See my post above.

We should have (somehow) had Craig Bohl as HC upon T.O.'s retirement and never Frank Solich.

I have it on good authority that it's gong to be Kyle Whittingham. Let's get that rumor going. Does Trev read in here? Hey, Trev. TREV!

Well, there would have been just as many krazy kuotes of his making the sports pages, and just as many blue-hair's letters fired off to the AD. So, he might have still been forced out. I just think he's got a great D oriented attitude toward football and could have done very well here if he stayed in that position and worked for/with a good HC.

HC - Kyle Whittingham OC - Kevin Wilson DC - Bo Pelini ST - Daniel Da Prato

Mickey looked so bad yesterday. Sad. He looked like a sad man, beaten and lost, especially after Methuselah Whipple got sacked by Henning. This whole thing uncorked a headline in today's paper about "an inconvenient truth," being that we looked no more able to compete in the Big Ten than we did four years ago when we were last at The Big House. Lousy team. Lousy coaches. My advocacy for MJ is now whittled down to just the (strange to be true) racial aspect of it as MJ being Black as being a plus for Nebraska in general. Any conversation about that would at some point include a question as to whether or not we're willing to sacrifice the program to an apparently unfit coach in order to uplift our social sensibilities into the modern era of understanding that there is more to American sports leadership than white people. Ugh... where are we? I feel lost and I want a good coach on mission to make us relevant in this conference and the nation. Hell, all of this conversation in this and other threads full of posts about who should be our next football HC are so meandering and marbled with that mix of hope and despair that all the threads and words seem like a sort of kaleidoscopic mirror of the football program itself: lost. I guess the lists of possible candidates are interesting, but we hear nothing much at all from those on those lists, with a few notable exceptions.

I learned that being angry about missed and half missed tackles gets offset at times by seeing how much time that D has to be out there due to 3 and outs by our anemic offense.

That pretty much describes this season.

A bet on Nebraska may win if they hang in there.

We've got some guys on fire and some just lackluster. I'd sure like to see the eager ones get in the faces of the others.

Yeah? Well, I see blackboard material for the Huskers: "We get an extra day of practice this Saturday against Nebraska before our game next week with Illinois." ~ Jim Harbaugh I made that up. But I bet he thunk it.

Try not to post for a few years; you're at 666 at the moment. a-HEM.. meanwhile.. yes, Mr. Whipple was admonishing shoppers to not squeeze the Charmin and yet he himself was in fact squeezing the Charmin. So, yes he should have been released earlier on.

Coaches, Assistant Coaches, ADs and their staff, work together during transition periods. I don't see it as a lack of expertise on MJ's part so much as Trev Alberts supporting him as he moves into the HC spot. That last part is conjecture (and a bit of hope, I admit).

Gosh yes. It's ugly right now as he works his way through this season with the same warts that Frost grew, but let's give him '23 and let him recruit etc. I think he's aware that he not only needs to recruit and develop players, but also bring in staff and develop himself. I think he's that kind of person. I think he'd do very well for us in the long run. Plus, and this should not be relevant but it is, he'd be the first African American Head Coach in any sport at Nebraska.

Well, at least we know he wants the job. Not so sure about any of the others on the lists we've been seeing. Heard some noises about Campbell saying so.. hope to hell not.

"Retained" as in the only one willing, perhaps. It may be that Mickey Joseph will be the "choice" by default. Yeah some players will slough off, but his recruiting may offset that in all the important ways. We have to have that hope in the face of our twenty year nose dive into oblivion.

That's reading an awful lot into things. Unread it and we've got a young AD who is doing what all ADs do when a hired coach of a major program has failed: look for another one that has a resume and desire. That's about it.

Mebbe we'll beat 'em up in the tunnel at halftime and they won't cover the spread: Aw Shucksers 15 Gulo Gulos 31 Air Mail 118 Pony Express 123

Thinking back I didn't care how good he might be because I just did not like him one bit. Now that seems crazy, as we slowly sank in the (mid) West.

That can only be true if we receive no new fresh wounds. The season ain't over 'til it's over.

Our next HC should not be Quag.. I mean Urban Meyer... giggety-giggety,,.
