Yup. These guys are kids. If there’s some dissention or confusion, MJ will shut it down real quick. Only question is does he want to be here or not? He might have better career trajectory moving on someplace else. Quote Link to comment
HANC Posted November 28, 2022 Share Posted November 28, 2022 I would speculate that MJ may be mentioned for the Tulane job that just came open. He is a Louisiana guy with obviously strong ties to the area. If MJ wants to be a HC this is the right time for him to take advantage of the situation. Quote Link to comment
Rhuletheday Posted November 28, 2022 Share Posted November 28, 2022 When you have someone in charge and then they are demoted, there is usually friction between the new and the old. A new coach coming in does not want a divided coaching staff of new guard vs. Old guard. They have enough other things to worry about. That is why they most always clean house and start from scratch at the very start. They are all well off financially. As Mickey said, he will find a job given his talents and experience. Our new WR coach may be a downgrade in recruiting from him, but every other assistant coach will be a massive upgrade. Quote Link to comment

I think his agent will prefer to capitalize on his recent head coaching momentum and we won't see Mickey on our sideline next year. As much as I've liked Mickey, it may be for the best long term for all parties involved, which is not to say that Mickey isn't great at what he does. The dynamics of the situation were he to stay, are challenging at best. 3 1 Quote Link to comment

But there are definitely potential pitfalls if he comes back. Which shouldn't be ignored in the decision-making process. 3 1 Quote Link to comment

No matter what efforts have been made by Rhule, he will be held responsible by some for Mickey not being retained even if not the case. The program isn’t about any one person. Hopefully there’s a way for it to work. Quote Link to comment
alexhortdog95 Posted November 28, 2022 Share Posted November 28, 2022 Why is everybody assuming that the decisions weren't made months ago? I think it was fairly obvious to everyone involved that Trev had a quick hook ready to go on Frost, and he would have informed all coaches coming here that it was a possibility. If you think Mickey didn't know what could have happened months ago and not had a plan (and worked with Trev to do so), then you're sorely mistaken. Besides - I believe that it was in MJ's contract that he could retain his pay no matter who was named the head coach here, right? 1 Quote Link to comment

I *think* Mickey’s compensation returns to what it originally was prior to being raised for serving as interim. Around $600K. And, two years remain on the contract(?). 1 Quote Link to comment

He not Interim anymore since Rhule has been named the HC. It's literally in the addendum that he will return to his normal contract and duties. 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment

That article says exactly what @M.A. said, other than the two years remaining, which I believe is correct. Quote If Nebraska hires someone other than Mickey Joseph as head football coach, he can return to his previous role as associate head coach and wide receivers coach immediately. That’s according to the interim coach’s restructured contract. The contract also clarifies Joseph’s pay increase as interim head coach. His base pay as a full-time Nebraska assistant is $600,000 annually 1 Quote Link to comment
