NOT too soon. Applewhite would be a great hire. Hiring a recent Longhorn hero would gain a TON of statewide recognition. Our troubles in finding a QB would be history. He would surely be the youngest HC ever. That would be all over ESPN. If he had about 10 good years here, he could be first in line when Mack retires. It's risky for us, and risky for him, but that's how you become great....

We don't want to be any of those schools. We are NORTH TEXAS. Period. We would like to get our football program to a higher level of recognition, sure. Louisville is a great example except for the BCS part. Not that we "couldn't" ever do that, but the logistics are impossible...... It's not like they're going to make it the Big XIII. TCU is probably the most appropriate model.

Blasphemy.

Man, Quoner has really made his mark on this board.........

It's all about getting a replacement named, pronto.

Where was this comment 2 months ago?

Ronnie Richard? That just sounds like a made-up name. Just kidding. Great article. Glad to see it "published" rather than "posted."

If there was any remaining sliver of speculation about Tune getting put in this year, that ought to end it. Good.

1. Fire RF and Etheridge. 2. Sign more DFW-area recruits than any other single SBC team (sounds easy, doesn't it?). 3. Open up the offense. Doesn't have to be a run-and-shoot, but I don't want to see a draw on 3rd and long, ever again. 4. Fix the delay of game/wasted timeout problem. 5. Beat SMU again. 6. Beat another OOC team. I don't care who. 7. Win conference. 8. Give somebody hell in the NO bowl. A win would be nice.

Harry, we really need to add the puking smiley face to the GMG repertoire.

Former Denton Bronco Great, Herman "Big Herm" Johnson, played high school ball at 6-8, 380. He was the biggest baby ever born in Louisiana at something like 14 pounds. He is now dishing out the pain for LSU. edit: man, that sounds like a Brasky post.

The best scenario to turn this thing around is for Dickey to stay, dump RF and Etheridge (at least) and totally change the offense. We saw that it's possible on Saturday. Yeah, he put the first team back in and they sucked again, but maybe he learned from it. I vote Andy Brewster for new OC. I know that was only about one quarter of a game, but it was a paradigm shift. We need to keep running that offense and see what happens. I know everybody is mad at Dickey, and so am I. I have done damage to my lungs yelling at him, that I can only hope will heal. But it will cost nearly half a million to fire him and there is NO GUARANTEE that the next coach would win a single game. Sure there are a couple stories (like Kragthorpe and Mike Price) of a new coach turning a team around in one year. There are a hundred other stories of coaches coming in and winning 3-4 games a year for 5 years, while "their" recruits develop, only to get fired and stall the program out for another half a decade. I'll temper my comments for now..... We have to keep in mind that La Tech was prepared for the same ol' I-back, draw play bullshyte we've been running all year, and a good part of the effectiveness of the "green team" was probably due to the shock factor. Not to mention La Tech sucks, and many teams could have easily made the right adjustments. So if it were up to me, Dickey would have three games left to audition for his own job. I want to see more of that alternative offense and what it can do. If it proves to be a fluke, or if he goes back into his shell, he's gone. And in the mean time, I'd be calling coaches to gauge interest and be ready to make a move on November 27.

Dagnabbit, when you quote him, my Ignore setting doesn't work, and I still have to spend 10 seconds scrolling down past his ridiculous yet colorful dribble.

Kool Aid, hell. That's Mean Green PCP.

Reminds me of that Snickers commercial when the QB gets knocked on his ass.... Coach: Where are you? QB: At our home field. Coach: Who am I? QB: Coach! Coach: Who are you? QB: I'm Batman!

La Tech gives up a ton of yards on the ground.

I think unconditional insistence of anything would qualify as a condition of support. I'm going to unconditionally insist on plenty of free mustard to go on the dollar hotdogs I get this Saturday.

I was guilty of saying that too. I was wrong.

OK, I'm not that old.

Woohoo! Bobby Bowden is as good as ours.

The Ticket, 95.3 The Range, KZPS Damn I'm old.

I'm not sure this is the argument you want to use.

And in reference to the subject line of this post.... I bet I know 15 people that went to Tech for a few semesters, but fewer than 5 that actually graduated from there. Something tells me it's not because of the academically challenging programs.
