Very interesting thread for me to revist and look at hopes to move up, even through it was a huge watered down move

Anyone with common sense knew that hiring a coach from Incarnate Word would backfire but not to the degree to losing to FIU, even Darrell Dickey could have pulled that win off. Enough with the failed experiments, welcome to the bottom 10 for the rest of the year, especially frustrating after beating SMU and Arkansas in a landslide and playing in the CUSA championship and almost beating Boise State. Piss poor strategy and coaching search as usual and never the think big mentality at any other school. I almost threw up when you brought this new coach here in a jet plane, as if he was Deion Sanders. Also we could have possibly moved up to a P5 conference like SMU and missed a huge opportunity, if we had a legimitate football team to go along our successful basketball program Fire the coach and especially the AD, both are amateurs and have no real experience in their job titles. Very disappointing and more money wasted

Open spot in the AAC looks likely and I'm sure many open spaces to fill up in conference realignment coming up. I sure hope North Texas is paying close attention and ready to pounce once they have the opportunity or at least has some heavy hitter lined up to be lobbying for us to be in a better conference. AAC, MWC, Big 12 entry when it implodes. CUSA is so much better than the Racoon League (Sun-Belt) but we are a major campus, so much more going for us, such as Tier One research school, new upgraded facilities, high enrollment and in a big market. I really hope we can join SMU as conference rivals and add a new exciting nonconference opponent to play. This is my dream conference. UNT/SMU/TCU/Baylor/Houston/Tulsa/Tulane/Texas Tech. Regional Rivalries and Geographical dream. Makes so much sense. The Pac-12 isn't going to pickup the Big 12 leftovers https://www.saturdaydownsouth.com/college-football/cincinnati-bearcats-american-athletic-conference-aac-realignment-2021/

Wow thats unexpected news. Really Happy for Darrell Dickey. Great Coach at UNT and he did a great job bringing in some really good talent at UNT. I glad Dickey bounced back and Villareal is finally gone.

Wow someone totally missed the point of the post

Yeah I read the article this morning and couldnt believe North Texas wasnt even mentioned for any of the bowl games. Im pretty sure Heart of Dallas will give us the invite, especially if Rice gets into the Liberty Bowl. Besides they like us and have their bowl reps have been to several of our games this year and liked what they saw. Also North Texas can pull alot of students and alumni in a Cotton Bowl game compared to any other CUSA team Just hope our people are doing everything they can to get us into the Dallas game and not just sitting around and not doing anythin GO MEAN GREEN.

Thanks everyone for the responses. Really Appreciate it

Hello, I was curious to see if UNT was included into CUSA in NCAA Football 2014 on XBOX 360 and also if they finally included UNT's Apogees Stadium into the Gameplay and the actual stadium is shown in home games. Sorry if this was asked at an earlier time, was thinking about buying a copy if it includes those things in the game. Thanks Again GO NORTH TEXAS Playmaker

Thanks Guys for the quick info. I really appreciate it. I am only buying the game if it has the new stadium and I hate seeing Fouts Field in person or in a video game. Won't get this game until they have the new stadium. Thanks again.

NEVER !!!

I apologize if this has already been asked but, is the new apogee stadium on the new 2012 ncaa football game and is there any features for UNT in this game, I would be much more interested in buying the game if our beautiful new stadium is in the game in the background. Thanks Go Mean Green.

That looks so familiar to Dickeys Record at UNT during his time here

Whats most sad about all of this, is the fact that we are a division 1 program and TWU is ................Division 3.

Man I was really sad to hear this news, I heard stories about how he was a great coach and did well at NT. I really have alot of respect for anyone that gives their sacrifices for our university.

An Interim Plan should have already been done by now, Dodge has been coach for four years and his best year, was a 2-10 season. He has had plenty of time, if this wasn't his own hire, Dodge would have been gone by now.
