He seemingly hasn't learned a thing from Frost's mistakes. Nor Chins and Whip.
He's been interim head coach for all of 5 days playing a top 10 team. Asking him to fix everything that's wrong with this team in 5 days is completely unrealistic. This program has been neglected for a decade.

The talent gap between these two squads is much greater than I realized. OU has FAR better players

Tough to fix years of issues in one week. Including the same staff that was a big part of the problem.

Mickey needs five years to get his players in place and to remove the cancer from the program.

How do you fix ****** tackling in 4 days? Against a pretty good team for added difficulty.
****** tackling is mostly they are not getting to the ball carrier. That's lack of power to get off blocks and lack of speed. I'm referring more to too much blitzing. Blitzing rarely works against teams that pass block well.

The scheme sucks...but they are really ****** tacklers.

I will say, that seems to be the knee jersey reaction for fans. But really....he has had 6 days. The players didn't change....the coordinators didn't change.

I support MJ.
Tall order against a really good football team in an emotional week.

Bye week, then Indiana. Looking forward to seeing if he can get the things going in the right direction.

The west sucks, so do we. Perfect storm. Lol.

S&C at Nebraska is horrendous

Too busy texting out War Daddy crap

Urban and Brady just politely clowned our S&C...teams looked night and day from each other

Yeah and college and 2 decades coaching.


I bet you're and all world tackler....
i barely started my senior year in H.S. But I've seen enough football to know you can't tackle someone if you are not in a decent enough position. Ball carriers after all does just stop and stand there. You already admitted scheme is important. For the non-football players out there, scheme can often pit defenders in a better position to make a tackle. The best players in the NFL miss tackles when they are in space.

Then again, we can't cover for s***, so either way it's not going to be good.

More zone or at least mix it up some. Explain to me all but the best CBs on the planet can cover a quick and a fly pattern. ??? I think Burford is going to be good but he can't be everywhere. To help out the corners.

He was named interim to give him 3 weeks before the Indiana game

there are 4-6 wins out there in that big ten schedule even with terrible coaching

not sure how you eval Mickey given how terrible the schedule is. Are your going to hand over the program if he manages to beat a few absolutely terrible teams?
