In the wake of Scott Frost’s firing as the head coach of the Nebraska Cornhuskers, Director of Athletics Trev Alberts has named Mickey Joseph as the interim head coach for the remainder of the 2022 season. This is Joseph’s first season as the Huskers Associate Head Coach and Wide Receivers Coach but he has had previous connections to the program.
Joseph was a top recruit for then Nebraska Head Coach Tom Osborne in the class of 1988 coming to Lincoln as a quarterback. Over his four-year career, Joseph would start nine games, running for 1,091 yards and 16 touchdowns, while throwing for 909 yards and 14 touchdowns. During his four years as a player, Nebraska posted a 39-9-1 record and won two Big Eight titles.
