From Trev's perspective, I bet W-L has little to do with Mickey getting the job. At most, Mickey is being asked to keep the ship from sinking: plug a few holes with bubble gum and add a little paint. He didn't create nor worsen Frost's rust bucket. 

 

I disagree. If MJ wins-out rest of season including bowl game - the job is his with no debate.

This is a message board. You are allowed to disagree.

Can’t wait for the result of the bowl game. Just getting to a bowl would give MJ plenty of leverage with Trev.

I agree that Mickey can improve his case by winning games. I just don't think losses will necessarily hurt his case or it be the determining factor.

Don't kid yourself - he wins, he's in...he loses, he's out -- and the new incoming HC in that case would NOT be forced to retain him (no HC worth his mettle would agree to a requirement like that).

If Mickey does get the job, he is definitely going to need to hire an elite staff. I think he knows that and will get some of the best that he can. However, he will no longer be seen as the interim putting on the band-aid. He will now have his own program that he will need to lead and turn around. I just don't like the idea of a first time HC being the man to try and turn us around. A bowl game would be welcome, but very difficult to achieve.

 

Mickey is more of an ace recruiter and WR coach. Nebraska should give him AHC and a raise for getting the guys to play hard in a difficult circumstance. He should also be retained as any HC would be stupid not to.

MJ isn’t a no for head coach going forward he’s a hell no

Fickle losing to UCF

At Nebraska the girls prefer the band members over the football players

Joseph lost any opportunity for the HC job today. The team looks really bad coming off a bye week.

[Packerhuskerfan]

What little chance he had went down in flames today.

They may have to beg Mickey to stay. I don't see any reason any coach would want to come here now.
