Mickey Mental is the name of a character in a Guy Ritchie movie, not a football coach.
Weber State has parted ways with football coach Mickey Mental, who went 3-7 this season and was 13-20 (8-14 Big Sky) in three overall years.
Brent Myers (offensive line) has been named interim head coach for the season’s final two games.
