Hayseed Posted October 23, 2022 Share Posted October 23, 2022 I'm starting to think we're gonna hire Mike Riley's cousin Cletus Riley. Link to comment

I would love to have Grimes but I think it would be hard to bring him in and still have Mickey. Mateos would be great though. He has a history of producing great olineman and has coached under some great oline coaches. I wonder what kind of offense we would run if Mickey is the main OC with a whole off-season to implement. Joseph as OC might be a stretch. He could be a guy that could “figure it out” if thrown into the fire and grow into the role. I think it’d be a very Nebraska-like yet with considerable passing. It’s hard to know what Jeff’s aspirations are. If both he and Mickey could be retained that’d be fabulous. Now I’m getting sugarplums dancing in my head! Lol 1 Link to comment

Bret's 60 min "interview" can come next week. I don't think we land Coleman without some stability with Mickey staying and an indication of a strong HC. Link to comment

There is always hope for the future with a regime change, and Aranda has been successful other places. My opinion improved once we got rid of the Frost cancer! Link to comment

My opinion improved once we got rid of the Frost cancer! When Frost was fired I was very excited about a new guy coming in with a brand new staff and creating new life in the program. I didn’t have individual names for the next coach, but I was just excited about a brand, new fresh start. 2 1 Link to comment

Although MJ said a person commits to the team not a coach. Not sure if that's true or not. Link to comment

What if he gets them to a bowl game? What if he feels he has earned that right to be. He is only 2-2 right now. Link to comment

Aranda is younger, but frankly his experience is more impressive than Mickey’s. I am not an Aranda fan because he hasn't done the dirty work at a program to get things rolling. He inherited a good situation at Baylor. Texas is much easier to recruit in than any other state. They have talent hanging on trees, just pluck yours. I don't like any of these so called candidates. Being honest. None of them wow me. Everyone last year wanted Napier, he isn't winning at Florida yet, and they have talent galore. Deboer isn't setting any Pac 12 records at Washington in his first year.......alll of these so called can't miss hires from a year ago haven't done alot yet either. I think Florida is a culture issue and Napier might get things going in a few seasons, but wasn't an easy fix like so many thought it would be. All I am saying is other than Urban, the rest are all likely the same coach with different spellings. Don't see much difference between any of them. Mickey in my opinion will out recruit alot of those names on this list. Mickey will develop a different staff going forward. He will have a different O-coord, he will likely get a co-defensive cooridnator along with Busch. Honestly just don't see any name that says he's our can't miss guy. I like all of the names to a degree. Leipold, Klieman, Aranda, and Rhule. But please, no Fleck. I could live with Bilemia even. Link to comment

The new HC will have to have an offense that MJ knows very well if he is going to be retained as an OC. We can have a training year. 1 Link to comment

I would rather have a CEO-type Head Coach who brings in his own coordinators and Mickey fits in as WR coach and recruiting coordinator. Link to comment
