Interim Head Coach Mickey Joseph

After seeing the announcements of transfers coming out of Wisconsin, Joseph certainly deserves credit for keep our guys in the fold. Doesn't mean we won't see some down the line, but I think Garcia- Castenada is the only transfer we've had in the weeks since Frost was terminated.

100% agree.

While wins matter, I think Trev is mostly concerned about how Mickie is running the program. I've heard more 'you have to respect the process and once you do the wins will come' talk from NU, than I've heard in a long time. 

From what I've seen and heard, attitudes in the program are changing and it's only been a month and a half. That's impressive. The wholesale change folks are holding MJ to account for, with most of the same coaches and players that lost to NW earlier this year, are unreasonable. 

Dont care if the interim coach was Saban, he can't grow lineman in the middle of the season or make them more athletic.

If folks want someone else as HC, just say that. Don't need to bash the man for unreasonable expectations.

Respect and trust the process. Trev Alberts knows it was a difficult position to walk into with limitations to what could be accomplished. It's just one of many considerations. I would add that with Mickey (or someone other that doesn't have a current staff), that would likely be conducive to a more prolific one being assembled. I'd imagine there wouldn't be as many loyalties in play. All Mickey is owed is consideration. He knows he's not entitled to anything more than that or to simply be given the position.

Mickey was handed a mess. Really there's a minimum that he can accomplish. It's an audition of sorts. Far from an ideal one though. That doesn't mean that he's simply given the job nor does it mean that he failed miserably if the accomplishments aren't spectacular. He takes the responsibility seriously and is doing his best.

You’re right- it is an audition. I think I met a “fair” audition 

I do get the nagging feeling that it’s Joseph and has been all along. I guess we will see within the month.

I think that Trev's setting the table up for success involving different potential options. Always in one's interest to have several ways to go depending on how things play out.

I think Mickey believes Frost blamed others too much, which we saw often in pressers, and is (over)correcting to personal accountability

This. The grown man making millions of dollars (the usual HC, not necessarily the interim I know) should take responsibility for what happens on the field. Blaming 18-22 year old kids for what they can or can't do in situations they maybe shouldn't even be in is never the right answer.  The HC should accountable, and want to be, which Frost was very much not.

MJ will be named HC with Rhule coming on staff in some capacity.   WIN-WIN situation

That would be fun...hire Rhule as a Football Analyst.   He keeps getting that $40M from Carolina and gets an additional salary from Nebraska and could help with the staff in some capacity and be a mentor to a first time head coach if it is someone like MJ.

This is an understatement.   Everyone from the players to the support staff really like MJ being in charge.   He brings a different type of energy to the room and they all gravitate towards that.   I would not be surprised to see kids that he didn't even recruit leave if he is not retained in one way or another.
