What does Mickey need to do to get serious consideration? How many wins does he need?
I am not going to hold OU against Mickey. He had 5 days to get the team prepared for the number 6 team in the country. What happened is pretty easy to understand.
So IMO, this is an 8 game tryout, starting next week.
He has 3 weeks to get these guys ready for Indiana, at Home.
If he wants this job, that needs to be a W.
In fact of the next four games: Indiana, at Rutgers, at Purdue and Illinois. I think he needs to win 3 of those 4.
Then the tough stretch comes. Does he have the team cranked up and playing with confidence when the Gophers come to town?
Minnesota, at Michigan, Wisconsin and at Iowa.
I think he needs to at least split these four. Sounds like a miracle at this point, doesn't it.
Good luck MJ!
Go 5-3 in these 8 games and I think you have to consider him as a serious candidate. I am not saying he gets the job, but Trev would have to think about it.
