Mike Mickens

[Lobot]

Mickens has been targeted by ND for their open Cornerback coaching spot. We really need to retain him. That group has made a lot of progress in the last couple of years.

Also, the MSU corners spot is also open after Dantonio's guy jetted for AZ St.

Hoping no news is good news here.

Thamel just tweeted that Mickens is gone for ND. Kinda mad at Brian Kelly again.

The good assiatant coaches need to move on to better opportunities, sad as it is for us. Mickens did a great job with our defense backfield and we can all hope that Fickell can find a quality replacement. Good luck to Mickens at ND!

Nah, ND is a good job that will let Mike learn and grow, plus he is reunited with his coach, which is kinda cool even with how he left Clifton. It sucks for us. Good luck Mike, we wish you well.

Good luck to Mike! He has been good for UC both as a player and a coach. Maybe he will return someday, older and wiser, to coach the Cats in a different position.

• "NFL Draft pick, future UC assistant coach and current Notre Dame assistant coach."

Are they predicting something here with the future statement? This probably should say former.

I have been asking for Him as HC for a while now. He will have the experience in a top program. He has the fans too.
