Although assistants from different areas of the country would be helpful to some extent in that regard.

Speculation is all thus far I think. Was said to be targeted. Not sure how accurate that is.

Hard to say…Maybe Schumann?

Unavailable! He’s an Italian chef now.

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.

I’ll gladly take either of them!

Haven’t. A colleague mentioned him awhile back. Intense!

What’s the deal…Were you hoping for Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson!

“Pot Roast” (Knighton)

Former GA fullback

It provided an opportunity to give Nebraska much needed positive exposure on the national level and limited the negative reactions of some of the local in state media influences.

I understand Matt’s dad has been involved. As for assistants, we’ll have to wait and see. Hopefully he puts together a group of competent coaches!

Rolling defensive lineman instead would be nice for a change!

Many years ago I applied for a position and wasn’t hired. At the time I was upset. I took it personally when I shouldn’t have. A couple of years later I happened to be at a theater. There was the guy doing the hiring with his family. He remembered me and asked how I was doing. We had a nice conversation. Leaving after the movie we chatted a bit more prior to parting. It was good knowing that he respected me as a person. There was a working relationship between him and the person that was hired. He was a really good boss. People enjoyed working with him. Qualified and professional. In truth, I brought a lot to the table but didn’t have enough qualifications in comparison to the eventual hire. That doesn’t necessarily make me or anyone unworthy of consideration or that we are wholly incompetent. It just means that someone else was a better fit according to qualifications and what was needed for that particular organization and their team. Everyone with very few exceptions likes Mickey Joseph. He’s a good guy with a variety of skills and competencies. He has a great deal to offer no doubt about that. The thing is though, can we afford to overlook what is necessary however many other good qualities a person has? That usually results in forcing things. It’s not in the interest of the team or even to the person who desires the position. These last many years have been hard for us. It’s not easy seeing your team fail again and again with very little or no progress being made. A lot of folks wanted Mickey to be our head coach. Others wanted another option than the one that Trev selected. As a person that is supporting Matt Rhule, as a fan I’d just ask to go easy on our peers that wanted Mickey or someone else. They love our team as much as we do. If the hire wasn’t Rhule, those others would be asking us to be open and supportive. Like Scott Frost and all the other coaches that came before him, our new coach and his staff have to prove themselves successful just as Mickey and his staff or another candidate would have. Things aren’t always as they seem. Often aren’t. The unknown is uncomfortable. We can support each other and our team. Can we give our coach the benefit of the doubt for now, support his team and be a force of encouragement? We’re in a tough spot. We need to be supportive and respectful to others having differing opinions than our own. It’s not about any one person. We’re on the same team.

I’d say there’s a replacement for strength and conditioning. Hard to imagine a scenario where Duval remains.

You think so? Mickey doesn’t remain?

Lol Not sure what went on there! Got it edited…First two times I saved it, it didn’t seem to have posted and move on to the end of the thread. Then on the third it finally did.

That’s not the one that looks like a slimy bottom feeding sea creature is he?

Rhule and Joseph will discuss the issue like mature, rational-minded professionals do to determine if they can have a working relationship. It would be of benefit if they worked through it over the weekend making a determination prior to the official announcement Monday.

The moving truck was loaded and he’s Arizona bound as we speak!

WR Frisman Jackson, Joe Dailey or Mickey Joseph

Others would argue that if Trev conducted a interview with Mickey and he wasn't serious about it, it would be viewed disingenuous and a waist of Mickey's time (And it would be). I don't think that Mickey holds animosity. If there are more qualified options, others that aren't won't be invited to an interview. That's the nature of the business and Mickey's got the maturity address it professionally.
