Was a serious candidate for Ga Tech DC job before the Texas safeties coach got it. And talked to Texas. Said still some other roles out there that the door is not closed on.

So what you’re saying is he got passed out for the DC position at Texas, as well as in the but is considering a lateral move? You only make lateral moves when you’re salty. Anyone heard if this guy pissed off or not for getting passed up?

Might need clarification here after a spell check, but GA Tech DC job is a promotion. Other possible roles would likely mean NFL, which is lateral in role but obviously still considered a promotion by most.

I guess I've seen crazier things but Mickens leaving ND right now to take the same position under a hot-seat Billy Napier would be a choice.

Great point and Freeman can certainly relate and advise Mickens as Freeman turned down Orgeron and the LSU DC job for Notre Dame. Wise move as Orgeron was fired that year.

NFL jobs hitting different these days.

Also, success leads to turnover among assistant coaches on staffs of good teams. Here's more proof nobody needed to understand an easy concept.

I think he needs to focus on coaching up his units.
He can't control the shit scheme and shoddy coaching going on by his DC though. The players are not being set up for success.

There are players on this team that are not good at either zone or man coverage.

There are players on this team that are not good at neither zone nor man coverage.
I don't disagree, but every unit has some weaknesses and my eyes are telling me that Ash is not scheming around them.

How can I not read this tweet as a Mickens tweet? He didn’t say the play call. The players are not good at playing!

Everyone wants to anoint Mickens a God when we don’t have a CB3. We don’t have a backup Nickel. we don’t have a second safety. Gray and Shuler have shown no improvement. It’s a one man secondary right now and that one man basically just said it.

Yea, quite the situation to be in right now. Mickens is playing at least a role in this mess. Potentially a big one.

I mean after all, he is defensive passing game coordinator, right!
