And that is why it makes it so beautiful, is that you can have an opinion and I can have one too. Without derp responses and reactions. Neither of us is right nor wrong, because the bottom line is that we want to see the Huskers have success.
I cannot change your mind, nor will I even try. I am okay if we disagree and that you and some others, believe that Mickey cannot get it done here for *insert reasons and opinions*
I never look at Mickey as a former player and to be honest, forget he even played here. But I always remembered his name. What excited me was that he was on an LSU championship team as a coach and turned out some amazing NFL talent at his position. If his guys don't run the routes, catch the throws, make the plays, then Joe Burrow doesn't have the same success he enjoyed his final year at Baton Rouge. But also, Mickey did have some success recruiting talent away from Bama, Georgia, Florida, Texas, etc, etc...
To answer your question about "Would I hire him out of LSU to coach here?" My answer would be no, obviously.
But that's not where we are at today. He is the head coach here and now, gaining experience on the fly, trying to motivate his guys, working with a staff that he never chose, allowing his DC and OC to do their job on game day without interfering (CEO coach), because he put trust into his current staff and his current players on the field - to do what they practiced and prepared for all week. Sure I would like to see more wins, but as a head coach, what else can he do in his situation?
In the Illinois game, when Rahmir dropped the easy catch, the next play CT got hurt, and everything went down hill. The Huskers had more yards then Illinois was used to allowing at that time, and threatening. Losing the game was not on the head coach, so I hope you don't use that as a reason or escape goat. Purdy and Smothers have had reps all spring, summer, fall and up to this point to step up...... like KSU's QB did..... like Kansas' QB did when their best QB went down. The 2nd half showed how valuable CT is to the offense, and not a reason Mickey Joseph is not a good coach.
I want him to be here next year and beyond. Even though I have never thought he would get the job going forward, unless everyone else says "no thank you, but thanks for asking, click".
