Who should our next HC be?

[thexyz]

Would he keep MJ and Busch?

To add, he’s also adamant about playing fundamentally sound football.

Isn't Lars the guy who said Campbell would be the next coach?

Yup.  And Ed Stewart would be the AD.

Gus Bradley, the DC for the Colts was mentioned. I’m having mixed thoughts on him. 
 

At least he’d be a better option than the Washington State HC…Lol

And he's got to be a cultural fit. Back up the brinks trucks, Trev. Make it happen.

It is officially silly season! Lol

Speaking of silly season, lets all take a moment to appreciate the ridiculousness of the statement on his hoodie.  Intercept Cancer?  Give me a break.  They're wearing a shirt that is saying Catch Cancer.  The NFL is so dumb.

14 years college coaching experience 30 days D1 head coaching experience

1 national championship never beat a ranked team as a head coach

.667 winning percentage in P5 2-1 D1 record

Excellent recruiter great position/territory recruiter

Players appear to love him Okay, I'll give you that one

Likeable, no nonsense guy who tells it how it is Okay, this one too 

we could do worse Great guy, but horribly under-qualified

Let me just fix that for you...

If we're going the NFL D-Coordinator route, give me Dan Quinn. Dude is a boss.

Those are obvious to everyone and I agree, he is underqualified.  However they are true facts and my last statement holds true- If he maintains a 2/3 winning percentage, it will be hard to justify not going with him imo.  It would also place some weird pressure on the new coach if he didn't perform very well.  First 2 games of 2023 are on the road vs P5 opponents... not going to be a very easy start to a tenure, especially if he is replacing the homegrown guy that got the job done under very difficult circumstances.

Why would Klieman leave KSU right now tbh?

Doubt he would. He is probably like they couldn't win with AM and i am here at KSU..  Yeah I'm good lol.

The recruiting aspect is a huge point. Judging Mickey SOLELY on what he does with an inherited (and fundamentally flawed) roster this season IGNORES the intriguing prospect of what he could do with the kind of team that he can recruit. Who is the last Husker FB coach who was a star recruiter?

Great CEO's have the confidence and the humility to surround themselves with people who are much smarter than they are. Mickey is a leader. I guarantee he would surround himself with an amazing staff to compliment his weaknesses.

I'm hearing Whipple might be dealing with some health issues? I don't think Mickey is interested in play-calling, so he'd have to go out and find an OC. To me, that's a wildcard to consider if he's a legitimate contender.

I'm sure it's in a separate thread, my point is that a new OC is a factor in keeping Mickey. What kind of offense does Mickey want? Who would he go for?

If Mickey is hired he's not keeping Whipple health scare or no health scare.
