I've been in Houston almost two years and find his commercials annoying, but he is obviously successful in the furniture business. I would hope his true personality is different from "Mattress Mac."

I'll be there.

DRC.com He says DD is one of the most likeable coaches in D1. Too bad he didn't show this personality to the fans, alumni, etc... and chose to bad-mouth everything about NT.

That is in very poor taste and I'm sorry to hear that he would say that to a group of 18 to 22 year olds, but it seems to be his MO. Blamed everything on his tough situation at NT and now blames his players for his demise. If I were RV, I would ask DD to not return for the final three games, turn the reigns over to Kenny Evans or another assistant and wash my hands of this situation. Maybe the media should be made aware of this type of crap and see how their perception of DD changes.

Agreed and makes me rethink my thoughts about Dickey the man. In very poor taste if this is true.

I think it may be wise to wait and see how DD acts over the next few weeks. The rumor mill seems to be pointing to the fact that he won't go quietly.

Not that Quoner needs anyone else taking up for him, because he does a pretty good job of this himself, but I think the point he is trying to make is that Playmaker's post is full of factual errors.

I thought it was callous and classless to require DD to wear a hat with your company logo on it on the sidelines during a nationally televised game. MM is all about getting his name out there and I understand that, but there are better ways to do this. Do I hate to see his money go away? Sure, but if he really cared about North Texas he would have been donating money years ago. Donating only because of DD justs confirms that MM's committment is not to North Texas but to Dickey.

I just don't see the big donation coming from MM any time soon. He is dumping a huge amount of money into his Westside Tennis Center to make it a more multi-functional facility and not entirely focused on tennis. He has lost a lot of money trying to make tennis work in Houston and has given up. So tcooper, unless you have some factual information you want to share, I would suggest you go back to placing all the blame for DD's demise on Flanigan.

GMG Hall of Fame. I don't care who you are, that's funny right there.

Thank you.

Two totally different things, and I would say Dunham plays the family man in all of The Ticket's schtick.

Lacks class and dignity? What would make you have that sort of opinion about one of our most vocal alumni, one of the best play-by-play men in the game and a great voice in the media for our university?

P.J.???

No coaching experience.

Funny how an alum that doesn't support his alma mater states that his alma mater needs better alumni support.

I love how you post your thoughts and then follow that up with a post that says if anyone disagrees or discredits your post is a jack-ass. Considering your contradictory posts, seems like the pot calling the kettle black.

tcooper, all of your other posts blame Flanigan for the problems with the team, but isn't/wasn't DD ultimately responsible? Isn't/wasn't DD Flanigan's boss? How can you place all of the blame on Flanigan and none on Dickey? You also mentioned that North Texas should hire a West Coast style coach to replace Flanigan. Doesn't the HC make the decision on who his coordinators are and what system is run? If not, then he isn't a real head coach. You also had this quote in one of your posts: Care to expand on this thought or are you referring to Flanigan?

Spontaneously combusted upon the announcement of DD's firing. Service information TBD. Please have the PMG faithful in your prayers.

They were awesome, but 42-62 aren't HOF worthy.

greenjoe also requests that the new coach ride a bike for exercise.

Best of luck in the future coach. I wish you and your family only the best. Thanks for the 4 year run.

My father was a coach, so I know this is part of the profession, but I wish Coach Dickey the best and thank him for the conference championships and the trips to New Orleans. He has enough coaching connections that I am sure he will end up on someone's staff and do a great job. Regarding the program, this had to happen to prove that the university is committed to moving this program forward. The Green Team, while a neat distraction, was an embarrassment. Don't expect a sudden announcement as to who will be replacing DD. North Texas probably won't be able to talk to anyone until the seasons are wrapped up, unless a university gives NT permission. I don't see this happening as it would be disruptive to the other teams. My hope is that RV is given the freedom to perform and extensive search for the best candidate. What I'd like to see: * Connection to the high school coaches in TX and OK to improve recruiting. * An innovative offensive system. * A contagious, upbeat personality that sells the program to the students, faculty and staff, alumni and Denton community. * A proven winner. * A coach that holds his players accountable. What I'd really like to witness: PMG performing his total revision to the KSU/BOR manifesto.
