I appreciate your views over the years
@Hilltop so I won't get into it so much.
My head will always shake when I hear "at a place like Nebraska" because I know it is a false sense of Husker lore and pride, that goes back 20-something years.
The record does have a significant bearing. Which is why we have a new coach. We only won games against Buffalo, Fordham, North Dakota, and lousy NW.
As for Mickey, his interview clearly states that he has been around a lot of head coaches over his lifetime, and has learned a thing or two from them, but, he needs to be himself. He is from the south (oh yeah!) and has different views with the football team, how to address his guys, embrace his coaches, move forward and prepare them..... and I like that a lot.
