  1. Yea this is prosthesis way but I’d probably take a harder stance. I’d probably just flat out say “you aren’t academically eligible”. If he says “I will be” then I’d say “prove it”. A coach shouldn’t be responsible for motivating a player to get academically eligible. I go back to the movie “Rudy”. We need more players hungry enough to do the things to succeed here on their own. Then add in the support system.
  2. But isn’t he a contract employee? You said yourself you can walk him at any point.
  3. Unfortunately I think you are correct on the head coach being a split with the fans. No fault of MJs but a split really developed around his interim position. I wish Trev had put someone in there that was not going to be a candidate.
  4. Hey I was one of the biggest critics of SF but I fail to see where the players quit on him. I can’t honestly say MJ has them competing anymore than frost did.
  5. Don’t listen to podcasts on 247 or for that matter any other media. Keep in mind these were the same guys pumping the SF hype train the last couple of years knowing there were issues. They will pump the MJ train too because he is part of Nebraska. I have said forever use your own eyes. We were not good under SF and we are not good under MJ. Yes he was handed a mess. That is a good thing for him because the low hanging fruit. They still haven’t improved effort and technique at blocking or tackling and we have had some of our sloppiest play in the form of penalties, missed assignments and turnovers in the last part of this season. I sure hope Trev isn’t making decisions the way it seems our fans are.
  6. If you think they can get top notch coordinators and assistants why not get a top notch head coach?
  7. You will be another one b!^@hing because the media never tells you the full story. Well this is the story. He has been ruled out at Nebraska by Matt’s choice. But heck …..wait for the official announcement if you want. Just giving you heads up so you can stop speculating on him but heck do it if you want.
  8. No. His agent did. No dollar amount had been discussed.
  9. No link. As you should know by now…..links from the media are the least likely and slowest mode of gaining the truth. Not explaining my way so you can choose to believe or not. But it is true. He made direct contact with the university saying he wasn’t interested.
  10. Matt Campbell is officially out. And not in coach speak. He OFFICIALLY turned us down as a candidate.
  11. It’s making me sick to my stomach that fans would settle for Mickey. He has never been on any one’s radar as a coordinator yet alone P5 Head Coach. If he wasn’t here our fans wouldn’t have him in their top 100.
  12. Absolutely. Quite frankly I think fans are being irrational on the Mj hire. Right now he has one game and it was ugly. I’m not even sure what they think he brings in the big picture compared to experienced head coaches other than he has Nebraska ties and they like his podium statements. Been down that road too much.
  13. And yet when we hired whipple with a longer and less successful resume we had fans drooling over him.
  14. It will all be different in 3years. I doubt the 12 team playoff will ever kick off. There were 10 FBS reps and Notre dame voting on it. It’s just a matter of time before the Big 2 and some stragglers start their own division….either with the ncaa or without and cut the bottom half of the FBS out of the money.
