Interim Head Coach Mickey Joseph

[Slow yer Roll]

This is exactly the place a coach wants to come to.

 

There's nothing lower to sink to.

 

 

It's all upward from here.

 

 

 

A veritable orchard of low hanging fruit.

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

 

Not saying Joseph gets the HC position, but I think there are double standards at play. If the the new HC comes in and doesn't light it up the first season folks will say give him time to get their players in and get rid of the Frost recruits. MJ doesn't have an off season to get his staff in place and to get all his kids on the field. He is left patching holes on a sinking ship mid season.

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

The guaranteed buyout seems decent.

Yeah, this one needs to die a horrible death. Mickey is a WR coach.

Mickey is a great recruiter and has done well as a WR coach.  You are exactly right.  He is not a head coach.

At least not yet. Not here.

Mickey is still my guy. He can be a good head coach even here just can’t do it with what crap frost left him

I think he'd be just fine here. There's no talent where we really need it, and you can't fix that with coaching. D seems like it was good enough to give us a winning season, but Frost f#&%ed this team not investing in O Line.

One more gamble and this program is officially dead. Unless we legit cannot get a decent guy then sure. But I’m not taking that route unless we have to if I’m Trev.

You are exactly right.  Trev can't gamble on an unproven coach, hoping it will work.  Trev needs to go with a guy who has led successful programs in the past, as I (and Trev probably) think that's the best way to turn this around.

We have a bunch of 3 and 4 star athletes.   We are getting good enough recruits.  They just aren't being developed.

I think Mickey could easily get is back to a respectable spot. Great recruiter, great coach, great person. Seems like a good CEO who's growing. But I totally get the hesitation.

How do we know he's a great coach?  He could be a really good position coach, but that's about it.

 

I heard this on the radio after the game, and it is something I said shortly after Mickey was named Interim Head Coach.  If you don't want to count this year's games against him, then let's throw this season out completely and go back to last year.  If Trev would have fired Frost last year, would Mickey have been a serious candidate to be hired for the head coaching job?  If that answer is no, then there should be a lot of other candidates ahead of him on the pecking order.

Couldn't disagree with you more. The question is, whether he is getting the most out of what he has?

 

He his overachieving in that regard.

 

Remember this is not his staff. He didn't choose the strength and conditioning coach or how have the ability to hold all the players accountable during the off-season. The players he did bring in, CT and TP are the best things we have going. And I don't think anyone would doubt if he was HC at NW and Georgia Southern we would have won both those games, making us 5-3 at this point.

 

If he is given the nod, which I hope it is either him or Mullen, he'll be just fine. And if you're thinking we need someone more HC creds, Dabo says sup!
