My guess is to pay a quick visit to Zane and wish him well with the playoffs.

I agree with Coach O not being a HC, but have always thought of him if Mickey were to land the job as an ace recruiter who coaches the D-Line. He is a great position coach and would bring instant credibility to his staff. Not sure I would want him at coordinator tbh.

He’s probably a candidate to be HC at Colorado

I think you can add to the pros list that he will surround himself with like minded recruiters and developers as he had said so much in an interview earlier this season with Clint Cosgrove about his coaching style and experience. He does have a CEO mentality so I could see the search firm Trev hired also being utilized for possible assistants to join him if he is indeed named head coach and not just for head hunting a new head coach.

In regards to Mickey's candidacy, there was a pretty good listen on 93.7 the ticket this morning on Early Break with an interview with Ross Delinger from SI who spent last weekend in Lincoln and was invited to a few team meetings with Mickey Joseph. Lets you into the way Mickey is leading right now from a national view. The link is below if anyone is interested: https://redcircle.com/shows/early-break-93-7-the-ticket-kntk2453/episodes/7f6d1985-25ba-4374-9e41-2704f5d7228f

In all honesty what role does Bo Pelini play into this? Would the experience Bo had here have any effect on his good friend Mark Stoops coming to Lincoln?

Wow look at Chip Kelly dominate the field. Whoof on whomever graded those hires

Didn't Lane Kiffin have an eye on the job at that time and have a snarky tweet in regard to the Frost hire? I think I remember something of that nature. Would Gary Patterson have listened to a call from Ole' Moose? Good topic, will look forward to this in February

We would have, but what I have learned with Husker fan is they wouldn't be happy with losses and would have chased that coach out because they should have hired Frosty *Getting humbled was probably good for some of us lol*

In my opinion we will know the head coach no later than Sunday, November 27. I have the feeling if its Mickey we will know shortly before the Iowa game and if its an outside hire we will start hearing strong rumors and rumblings the week prior to Thanksgiving since that's when the deals will more than likely be inked if my opinion holds true. With the transfer portal hitting full swing once the season is over we cannot afford to not have a staff in place at that point.

Recruiting experts say no. Even when he was casually interested we were only 3 or 4 on his list anyways. Recruiting experts say no. Even when he was casually interested we were only 3 or 4 on his list anyways.

Curious, does anyone know where the hypothetical $6.5 million dollar staff budget would rank nationally? I think we need to be top 10 in that category with the next staff.

Oh I agree with everything you said and I by no means was saying Mickey should vault to the top. I am just saying if Mickey beats a ranked team that would be huge for him on his on the job the job interview. He definitely would need to keep that momentum going. I am guessing the next few games are his most important because we need to have a coach in place before Iowa so we can announce it right after.

The top guy I want is Luke Fickell, but if Mickey beats Illinois that will be huge for his candidacy. If I heard that Trev was close to a deal with Fickell today I would be angry because Trev would have not lived up to his word with Mickey. I think it is great we aren't hearing a legit leak or a peep of legit rumors. Sure the media is spewing stuff, but how much of that is for clicks?

Absolutely need a high level staff to support the next HC regardless if its Mickey or an outside HC. Always surround yourself with people smarter than you.

They will be opening the pocketbooks for the HC and his assistants. Trev has mentioned money as no object on multiple occasions. Kicking Frost out instead of waiting to not pay him the 7.5 Million shows the pockets are deep and they are willing to spend if the right person aligns.

Mark Stoops? I didn't hear that!! That's good we are going after him. Good coach and good connections.

That’s the problem right, Scotty wasn’t recruiting anyone that’s why our best players are transfers. So no I don’t think Scotty told them anything because he wasn’t there

Based on what? Love the guy but what makes you say that if you look at the resume. We beat atrocious teams and just lost to a team that got boat raced by an interim coach.

Agree. It’s the right decision by whomever the next HC is for sure. What Mickey has done for recruiting in this area is super important along with how he develops receivers.

Then they must have the next hire already set because recruits are saying he will be back. Check the presser yesterday for Coleman. If Mickey isn’t brought back we haven’t seen the worst of the dumpster fire yet.

I don’t think he will be OC either.

Very true about Grimey. He is very respected and this scenario is plausible.

It would be a great hire if it happens. I wouldn’t see it as a rebuild either as Mickey has been doing work since he took over. I think the rebuild started after Oklahoma. Aranda, Mickey, and Busch bring much needed continuity that the players would appreciate. Grimes is a stud and would bring that nasty toughness back to the offense. Aranda definitely in my top 5 for hires and brings a level of excitement when I think about because of the Mickey and Busch element. Guessing Applewhite would stay too to solidify that Texas recruiting.
