If it were true, it would be a pleasant surprise.

I think they were talking about the Iowa State job.

I figured I'd throw in the O-line coach record. Army w/ HE. '99 3-8 '00 1-10 '01 3-8 '02 1-11 '03 0-13 Army post HE. '04 2-9 '05 4-7 '06 3-7(so far) Although they still aren't very good, they have still won more games in the 3 seasons since than all 5 seasons he was there.

Desperate. Andrew Smith would have played his senior season last year with Patrick Cobbs. That would have had no effect on this season. He cannot use this as an "out". He had an extra season to groom his golden boy Meager and they still couldn't get the offense going. He cannot use Andrew not being here as the reason he lost his job.

While Chambers is a good choice, I'm don't know if we can really judge how well he could recruit here. In the Dallas area, Texas and OU pretty much recruit themself.

Translation: Just when we figure out hot to stop them, they throw something new at us.

We have had quite a few quality assistants hired away in the last few years.

I'll go out on a limb and say he is the ULM OC within the next 2 years.

Bingo.

I didn't choose the right words for the question. Who would I want to give money to in support of the football program?

Who do you give to? MGC or what?

Any coach that would tell his players they are the reason for his firing should not be honored.....ever.

It doesn't matter if it is the truth or not. You cannot say that to your team. He is still not taking responsiblity. He is projecting it on his players and not his poor coaching. I wish he was that big of a jackass with the media, maybe then they would lay off of RV.

While I agree his giving was generous and very much appreciated, I disagree with using a large donation as leverage to keep your buddy employed.

good call

Clean house offensively. Defense isn't bad, they can stay, keep Brewster as a grad asst.

good call

Good Man. Just held on to poor assistants for too long. I wish he would've made personel changes and allowed to stay.

Now that is just terrible.

Without a doubt. Way too many O-line penalties and missed assignments. Bring back Leftwich.

back when we averaged more than 200 yards of total offense per game

I have to say, I was a UNT student in the Big West days, I enrolled again last fall. It was still pretty exciting last year with Cobbs but this year we are no better than we were in '99.

This is SO true. Someone should call in and ask them who has the worst or second to worst offense in all of D-1 football. Maybe then the firing "would" be about football.

We do not post negative comments about players. Dickey surrounds himself with other poor offensive coaches and playcallers. Recruiting in the DFW area has been pretty non-existent in recent memory.

I found this while scouring the internet. He might come here just so his boy can play as an undersized QB. Is Riley Dodge a college QB? Scout.com's Jamie Newberg just said on FSN's halftime show that he sees Carroll QB Riley Dodge playing another position in college. No doubt Dodge will be recruited as a receiver by many programs. But I wouldn't rule him out as a quarterback despite the fact that he doesn't have the prototypical QB size. He definitely has the smarts, accuracy and touch to do it. I could see Dodge playing QB for a program like Utah or Missouri where they've had success with athletic QBs in spread offenses. The wild card: Will his dad be one of the coaches recruiting him? Todd Dodge will seriously consider any Division I-A head coaching opportunities, especially if Carroll wins state again this season. I'm just speculating here, but it'd make a lot of sense for SMU to woo Dodge if new AD Steve Orsini decides to can Phil Bennett. That's a hire that would create tremendous buzz for the Ponies, and I guarantee Dodge could recruit offensive players and score a lot of points in C-USA. Riley Dodge might be able to start at QB for SMU right now. Posted by Tim MacMahon at 9:21 PM (E-mail this entry) | Comments (1)
