Mickey Arrested!

[Huskergod84]

To me this hurts more than any of the losses the past 7 years. This really sucks. I thought Mickey would be a part of the staff and help get this turned around and then take over when Rhule left. One of our own taken down a very dark path. Guess we will wait until all the facts come out to see what the true story is but right now its not looking good for Mickey. At this point its all allegations though.

the more I hear about what happened the wilder this story becomes.

I'm pretty sure Trev has already called Rhule, because what can Rhule be thinking, but WTF! kind of hornets nest did I just get into? And are there more behind the scene type of issues that I'm not aware of?

Geeze

I was thinking this. I’ve took over units like this. My last one was the land of misfit toys. Took me and a hand selected LCDR a year to flip it.

What are the odds Nebraska AD tries to retain him once everything is settled? His HC chances are done for now. I suppose all the facts will have to come out and then a decision can be made or do you think it’s good bye?

Zero.

............ yup

 

[Bummerbry]

With the things his wife was tweeting (her twitter account now gone) I am thinking she felt he wasn’t truly considered for the position and was against him staying here (my understanding was they were waiting on his decision on an offer to stay before moving forward on other assistant positions being decided on).

Sad it came to what it did!

   well what are you hearing

 

[Meanfarmer]

well its just my opinion that M deserves the job as HC but what i dont know is does he want it. we have seen huge changes and huge improvements since he has been in charge. I vote for MJ as next HC

This didn't age well.

MR'er, nor are you. 'nuff said

Well, this is the very last thing I expected to see when I came to check the forum this morning. Sad news for all concerned. Definitely the last thing TheRhuler needs to deal with to start his tenure.

 

[Hunchback Johnny]

This didn't age well.

Unnecessary. You could say that about literally hundreds of comments on this board. I didn't want MJ as our coach and still mentioned numerous times what a high character, stand up guy he is. All this proves to me is we don't know any of these guys. We hear post game sound bites and perceive their public persona to be bonafide. That's why I'm not all that upset about it. With social media today we don't really know people... we have perceptions of people. Denny Green's famous quote missed this time. MJ wasn't who we thought he was.

 

[Uenth]

Yup, we definitely need to know the facts before, well we all know where that leads.

 

[sho]

1. well what are you hearing

Preface this by saying this is all hearsay from people in Lincoln, who have usually been spot on, but there was more involved than just MJ and his wife, his wife wasn't the person being strangled, and co-workers suck.

Unfortunately for Mickey a decision on the staff for Rhule has to be made in the next day or 2 - so he will be out. Agree it is best to let the process play out and that we don't know all the details - so making judgements is a bad idea.

Trev not only can't, he won't come within the proverbial ten foot pole of MJ now for a job. But more to tell MJ as much as he might still like to as MJ being a coach; It would be "political suicide" for Trev himself if he does.

Nope, not gonna do it.

I realize that a spouse is going to be looking at the situation differently than an impartial fan, but as someone who was a big MJ fan and early supporter of him getting the job, any notion that Mickey wasn't truly considered is hogwash. He said going into his interim tenure that it was going to be "all about the Ws" and he went 3-6 -- not exactly 'whoa, look at THAT turnaround' stuff.

As we all know now, the program dodged a bullet. When the facts some out, I suspect the story will get even uglier. It's time turn the public spotlight off (ha, good luck on THAT happening) and let this matter get addressed with some degree of privacy.

It's time to move on.

 

[Bummerbry]

Rumors swirling for sure!

 

[Doc Fumble]

If you have an opportunity, listen to Damon's comments, Damon had just talked to Mickey "10 minutes" before this event.

Damon's comments (to me) eliminates some of the more sordid rumors regarding the report that other people were in the house where the incident occurred.

It had to have been extremely hard on Damon to go on the air this morning to speak about this incident because he obviously has a strong relationship with Mickey and his wife.

 

[Pavlov's Dog]

Once again, Damon Benning gives out only enough info to support his narrative.
In My Opinion-
He should say he's close to MJ and his family and hopes we wait until all the facts are in. Then shut up.
..or...
Give us ALL the info he has.
Teasing bits of info and inferring things doesn't get my respect- it annoys me.
Who was there? Is this info never coming out? Then say who it was. He hints that he knows a lot more about what's going on but chooses to tell very little but wanting to steer the story.
He's no journalist and Husker Nation has about 40 too many opinion people.

End of my rant.
