Mickey’s resume wouldn’t get him hired as head janitor at most schools, much less as a head coach. Trev could say hold my beer. I hope that is not the case. I’ve learned to never say never, though.

Frosty’s name should live in infamy for all of eternity. What he did as a player is irrelevant considering he robbed the players and fans blind for over four years. He lowered the bar so low here that there are some fans that think beating Indiana and Rutgers should be enough to be considered for the HC role. Even five years ago, beating those teams was expected and nothing to celebrate about. He managed to make me miss Riley.

There are a lot of people on here acting like Mickey should absolutely get a significant role with the next staff. For one, that’s usually not how it works when a coach gets fired. Usually, that coach’s entire staff gets axed and the new coach brings an entire staff of his own guys in. I was misunderstanding what you were saying, but this is a common attitude I’ve seen on this board regarding Mickey. 2-2, and likely 2-7 or 3-6, should not get anyone a significant role.

What has Mickey done to be entitled to anything, much less the OC role? A 2-2 record is nothing to write home about. It’s amazing how some on this board think he’s some amazing coach. He should be thankful if he’s even retained on the staff and that NU gave him the opportunity to be the interim coach. Lol at some of you calling it a “slap in the face” if he’s not named OC.

How much do you think Auburn cared about that game? They had a shot at the playoffs and blew it in the SEC title game. They were likely feeling down on themselves. It happens all the time in bowl games. Most of Aranda’s quality wins came during the regular season and the conference title game.

Aranda would make sense since him and Mickey are friends from their time at LSU. Would probably be the hire that is most likely to understand Mickey’s value and keep him on staff.

The way I see it is if Nebraska doesn’t hire Mickey, would any other program even think about hiring him as HC? I think the answer is an obvious no.

I’m just saying that the new coach should consider taking some of his key players with him via the portal since they already know his systems. I’m not trying to say anything radical here.

He wouldn’t be the worst hire ever. However, this is just one season. It will be interesting to see if he can sustain the success. No matter what, 6-0 at TCU is very impressive.

It worked for Southern Cal. The transfer portal exists for a reason. I don’t understand why that is a dumb idea. Do you think USC regrets taking Caleb Williams and his receivers from Oklahoma? I bet not.

Just have the new coach bring his QB and skill players with him. Problem solved

“Better than Frost” is the lowest bar ever. Frosty made Mike Riley look like Knute Rockne. That should not be the metric used for the next coach.

Well, most on here think Mickey should be hired if he goes 6-6 with NU’s cupcake schedule.

They may not even get to six wins. Their defense is the worst I’ve ever seen. With Leipold sitting at 5-7, hopefully none of the fans will want him.

Aranda is 2-0 against Leipold. Clutch win by Baylor today. They had their backs against the wall, considering their lead was just five, but they scored a clutch TD to seal the deal. That’s something NU has been incapable of doing against quality opponents.

It wouldn’t surprise me if Rhule takes a year off.

TCU went 5-7 last year. Not as bad as KU, but still pretty bad. They were in disarray after firing Patterson.

Sonny Dykes is in his first year at TCU and they are rolling. He didn’t necessarily inherit a Bentley either.

KU has very limited depth. That’s something Leipold should have fixed by now.

You’re saying that NU has a talent deficit to KU?

*Maybe not 5-0, but 3-2 at worst would be NU’s record against those cream puffs. Beating those teams doesn’t make Leipold special. I’m just saying NU would look okay against those five teams too. I have to remind myself of how crappy NU is.

Tennessee Tech, Duke, Iowa State, West Virginia, and Houston isn’t murderers row.

NU would have gone 5-0 against KU’s first five opponents.

You don’t think NU has that kind of money? They paid Frost an extra $7.5 million to make him go away two weeks earlier.

Does anyone on here still want Leipold? Three-straight loses now for KU. Seems like he’s a choke-artist to me and can’t handle high expectations. After Kansas started 5-0, expectations came into play and KU folded.
