Zips - 42 Dickey - 3 Time for a coaching change to keep any program respect and renew interest with former fans.

Dickey is either too stubborn to change his offense to fit his personnel or doesn't know how to. The smashmouth run game is not working with these players and last year's either. Actually, the only teams it ever worked against was new, fairly young head coaches of SBC teams. That's the reason for all the OOC losses; those coaches know how to defense a base run offense. But now the SBC teams can defense it too, thus last year's conference record. Either change and keep the offense fresh and adjust to your personnel or die being stubborn. 1-3 says stubborn.

Novel idea to remove ineffective coaches during the season. I like it!

I'm sure UNT Athletics Marketing will get right on that. What? No Marketing?

September 13, 2006 Dolphins sign RB Cobbs to the practice squad The Dolphins added rookie running back Patrick Cobbs to the practice squad on Wednesday. "It seemed like the best opportunity," Cobbs told The Boston Globe. "The hope is that I'll spend some time on the practice squad and then have a chance to be activated to the roster." Cobbs, 23, had an impressive exhibition season as he led the New England Patriots with 188 yards on 38 carries (4.9 average) and three touchdowns. The Patriots decided to keep four veterans and first-round pick Laurence Maroney, so Cobbs was traded to the Pittsburgh Steelers for a seventh-round pick. It appears RB Carey Davis was cut to make room for Cobbs.

Send him...I'll take him anyday! Carolina babyyyyy!!!!!!!!

DD's Top 10 OOC road wins: 1. vs. (7-7) Cincinnati 24-19, December 17, 2002. (game at neutral site N.O. Bowl, Cincinnati coach Rick Minter fired 2003) 2. @ (6-5) Texas Tech 21-14, September 18, 1999. (Tech coach Spike Dykes fired end of 1999 season) 3. @ (3-8) UL Lafayette 13-0, October 28, 2000. (NT was in Big West and ULL was Indy, ULL coach Jerry Baldwin fired in 2001) 4. NA 5. NA 6. NA 7. NA 8. NA 9. NA 10. NA Only (3) three OOC road wins in 9 seasons. A five point win, a seven point win, and a thirteen point win. All over teams who's coaches were at the end of their careers at those schools and were either fired that same year or year after we beat them.

Good post.

Similar feelings. Time for a MAJOR change!

Asking linemen to block on a gut-run play that is doomed from the start because the opponent has a run blitz on or 7 in the box is just poor play calling or the QB not changing it IF allowed to. If the problems are blindly obvious to the fans and media why don't those on the sidelines see it??

Last OOC road win = October 28, 2000.

It's not just players making the biggest mistakes.

So is ours.

It's an Athletic Complex, not a football shrine. The vacant field next to it where a new football stadium should stand is testament to the football progress.

What did 4 SBC Championships gain us? New conference? New Stadium? New Coach? Better recruits? Nada.

JUST DO IT!

BTW, this is DD's 9th season. Last OOC regular season road win = 2000.

Could you care less which team wins the MAC? But you notice when they beat a Big12 or Big10 team right?

Why do you think NT was picked as Homecoming fodder? We're good for the Tulsa alumni.

The frustration level for those not at the game is also at an all time high.
