He will not be back. I thank Mick for stepping up and saving this team and GrizNation when we needed it the most. Mick provided the band aid but isn't the one to get us to the next level....I really hope we open this interview process up and not make it "the connected one".
You sure on that? I'm quite sure Haslam hasn't decided yet and alot of it depends on how the rest of the season plays out.
A 6 pack of Hamm's says it doesn't happen....Common sense...the guy has given us more losses at home in 2 seasons then the previous coach in 4 or 5 seasons.....Football is the win all for all other sports...Sorry Hammer, while it ain't a Marlin....its also not a Rambler.

The previous coach was only here for 2 seasons.

All I'm saying is if Mick wins out or wins 2 of the last 3 and the Griz make the playoffs I believe he will be back. I do know for a fact Haslam loves the guy.

i wonder if ellis henderson would be willing to take over the head coaching position?
Well, at least we woudln't run every f***[*] down then.

JJ throws for 381 on 38 attempts yet we run on every down? How is that possible?

Idiot much?

Today....

38 Pass Plays
29 Rushing Plays

And we were playing ahead or even for much of the game...especially in 2nd half.

That needs to go from 56% to about 70%...

When a team can run, I say run....but when you can't....
 
Why would anyone be happy he's brought us back to the middle of the pack in the BSC? Even you guys can compete with us now that's how far we have backslid...............

WOW! You would think he took over Alabama last year with all the starters coming back. You two are a couple clowns.
 
How f'in bad is it when Griz fans are now celebrating barely winning and having no chance of winning the BSC. Celebrate mediocrity all you want - I won't be joining you ass kissing ingrates. If you think this team is well coached - then you are smoking crack. Our defense is awful and just imagine next year when we lose three seasoned linebackers. Mick Delaney is a nice man who did a great job cleaning up the program. He is a mediocre coach and it shows (his assistants are mediocre as well). Nothing about this team says - domination, especially the o-line. Good God - some of you bastards are starting to sound like Can't fans. We should make the playoffs maybe - does'nt that sound great! Holy hell. Embarrassing.

Agreed...scat fans should hope he coaches for 15 more years. That would equal the streak.

Just exactly what did Mick do to "clean up the program?"

I'm sorry but anyone who thinks the defense is MD's fault is a complete idiot. Should he take the heat for it? Yes, that's what head coaches do. But the tackling, the being completely burned and lost in coverage, that's on the players and I'll bet any of you a million bucks guys like Tripp, Alex, even Hermy will step up and say the exact same thing. I don't give a flying eff what scheme the Griz put out there on D, the players are NOT executing and they'll be the first to admit.

I've said all along Mick would be back next season, and I see nothing to change my mind on that.
Seriously, the head coach is not responsible for having coaches in place that know how to teach fundamental tackling, knowing when to use timeouts, etc. etc.... etc!

I think other than Hermanson's dipshit move - the program is running fairly smoothly. Rules have been laid down and they are clear for the players. Tow the line or hit the road seems to be the mantra. Was that the case in the past with Pflu and Bobby, well that is another debate. I am no fan of Mick Delaney as a coach, but I do believe he is a disciplinarian that is fair. I will at least give him that
 
This will be my only post in this entire thread. I can remember in 2009 (one of our championship runs) when we had several games that could have easily been losses, that just happened to go our way.

2009 Season

Pt 1 - Vs UC Davis, the game went down to the last play, and Davis almost tied it with no time left on the clock. Trumaine Johnson picked a pass and ended the game, however, it could have gone the other way had Davis tied it and sent the game into overtime.

Pt 2 - Vs NAU we went into overtime, and barely won in a shootout that ended with a score of 41-34. Another game that really could have gone either way, and one in which the Griz didn't "DOMINATE".

Pt 3 - Vs EWU. Yet another game we didn't "DOMINATE" under the direction of Bobby Hauck, where we had to gut out a hard fought game, winning 41-34.

Pt 4 - Vs ISU. Hapless ISU had us against the ropes late in the game. I think there was just over two minutes left in the game, and we were down 10-9 vs a TERRIBLE ISU. We had to march the length of the field, and relied on a Brody McKnight field goal to win 12-10.

My point is that we sometimes over glorify the past championship run seasons, as if we didn't have issues in those seasons similar to what we are facing this year. Mick Delaney has players that think the world of him, and would likely go to hell and back to get a win for him. Maybe he's not the "best coach" money can buy, but Bobby had his flaws as well. WE could have easily lost some of those games, and were lucky to escape with wins. The ball bounced our way in those ones, and unfortunately, it didn't bounce our way in a couple games this year. Both the NAU and EWU games were tough losses, but we were never out of those games even though we were outcoached and outplayed the majority of the game. We fell just short of a glorious comeback vs #3 EWU. Pretty cool if you ask me. Shoot, had we not shot ourselves in the foot several times in that one we probably would have won. Vs NAU, we had 2 scoop and scores go the other way, one of which was on the 1 yard line when we were about to score. I don't think this Griz team is that different from the Griz teams of the past. They have there ups and downs, but usually find a way to win. We found a way to win tonight! We are 7-2 and probably in the playoffs if we beat USD next week! We have to face the reality that every season we will not go undefeated, and will face some adversity. This Griz team has responded to adversity well, and I expect great things will happen over the next 4 weeks. Even if we were to somehow lose all four of our final games of the season and miss the playoffs, however, I will still bleed Maroon!

GO GRIZ!!!
