I don't think Mickey will be given serious consideration, unless we go bowling. Anything short of a miracle, Trev has his eyes on other cadidates IMO.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.
I hope so. I really like the guy.Sadly, I don't think we win another game this year. Mickey will get another shot somewhere down the road.
There isn't a specific number. Mickey would have to show culture change and buy-in to what he is doing to gain consideration. Ideally, that would translate to wins, but how many isn't completely controllable.What does Mickey need to do to get serious consideration? How many wins does he need?

I am so glad Mickey is here and I’m rooting for him, but I don’t think there is much of a realistic chance he will get the job. If he performs well enough to deserve to go to the front of the line, I believe it will be obvious. It shouldn’t be tied to some arbitrary number of wins. It’s a lot more about how organized he gets the staff, getting the players to play hard, and proving he can implement game plans that will hold up against other talented Big 10 coaching staffs.What does Mickey need to do to get serious consideration?

Next week will be telling. If we can't beat Indiana at home, then we are probably staring at 1-11. If we beat Indiana, there could be some other wins out there.Sadly, I don't think we win another game this year. Mickey will get another shot somewhere down the road.
I'm going with 2 more wins. I don't know over who, but I think we pull two more out.Sadly, I don't think we win another game this year. Mickey will get another shot somewhere down the road.
