Frost, Huskers close to landing LSU WR coach Mickey Joseph for revamped staff | Football



Nebraska head coach Scott Frost is nearing a deal to bring another former option quarterback back to his alma mater. 

Frost and NU are close to finalizing the hire of LSU wide receivers coach Mickey Joseph to one of the four openings on his staff. Football Scoop first reported the deal is in the final stages, and a source confirmed to the Journal Star that Joseph’s addition could be finalized in the near future. 

Joseph knows Nebraska well, even if he’s been away for two decades.

He started at quarterback and ran the option for Tom Osborne. He had his best year as a junior in 1990, when he ran for 554 yards, passed for 624 yards and accounted for 21 total touchdowns.

Since then, the 53-year-old has made a career as an assistant coach at the collegiate level, most recently at LSU for the past five seasons. In that span, he’s recruited and coached some of the most productive wide receivers in college football — names such as Ja’Marr Chase, Justin Jefferson, Terrace Marshall, Kayshon Boutte, D.J. Chark and more. For the past two seasons, he’s also been the assistant head coach to the outgoing Ed Orgeron.

Joseph is a New Orleans native and attended powerhouse Archbishop Shaw High School. During his years as an assistant coach, he’s developed a reputation as an upper-echelon recruiter, including in his home city.
