The case is hes a natural leader and has great character, and you can see it. Hes made smart decisions that made a pathetic team and defensive, way better in a matter of weeks. The case is hes a proven recruiter and developer and has some connections for a great staff. The case is the players play hard for him and love him, and recruits want to keep him which means we could take off on this thing fast if hes the right hire. He has some real IT factor. The case is guys who look like they should be great hires dont always pan out and guys that are risky are the ones that do some times. See dabo, see pete carrol, see scott frost who on paper was the most sure hire we ever hired, including over when we hired devaney and TO.because...
1) he's a former player?
2) he beat Indiana?
3) he was affiliated with 2019 LSU?
4) he's a good recruiter?
5) he seems like a good guy?
6) Dabo's resume was similar?
7) some combination?
what am i missing here?
So, IF he continues to win games and make the team look better and IF Trev over the next 2 months, sees things behind the scenes that give him a clear idea that this guy is a guy that is one of the next great coaches out there (again, from his evaluation on things behind the scene that we dont see), then he would be a great hire.
If the team doesnt continue to get better or/and if Trevs eval behind the scenes leads him to believe hes got some promise but you dont really see anything special about him....then you dont hire him
And then there is the 3rd factor, which is even if MJ looks really promising, IF there is a better coach out there that wants to come here......you hire that guy instead of mickey cuz the program deserves the best you can get. But if MJ is even with a few other options, you give it to mick because of the fact that short term we could turn around faster and long term, his love for the program means we arent hiring an Ace coach that leaves in 3 years.
Got it?
Now in the meantime, even though fans are excited about mickey and should be, theres very few that think as of today he should be hired. So put your frustrations elsewhere.
