If Patterson gets K-State

[eeally]

I heard on a sports talk show in Austin that Patterson was the Dark Horse for the K-State job. If that domino was to fall would it have implications down the line for DD?

Bennet to TCU DD to SMU? Maybe Flannigan to SMU?

He just signed a fat new deal. Darkhorse or not he's not going anywhere. Even if the trickle down would not trickle down low enough to reach NT.

Surely you jest? But if not..........

If DD's 4 bowl games (that have some of our Regents in a state of DD hero worship) anyway, if those 4 BIG BOWL GAMES have not gotten Darrell Dickey even one listing as a serious candidate for other NCAA D1-A head football coaching vacancies the last 4 years, why after a (clearly visbile to most who will swallow a little pride to admit this); anyway, why after 8 years of under .500 production at UNT from DD and not one Top 60 OOC win, why would any of those you list, eally, be interested in DD now? At a normal school, he would be gone after his ASU loss. If he wins 4 games next year further widening an under .500 W/L differential , with the group we presently have making decisions at UNT, I'm not sure he would be gone even then.

Also add that most "normal" NCAA D1-A football schools would sorta' like to hire someone that has the proven ability (or serious potential) to take their program to a Top 25 standing. After 4 bowl games with DD, UNT still can't even smell or see the Top 25 in the distance. And most schools out there by now know you just won't get such a coach's job if they were to hire Darrell "But I Went To 4 Bowl Games" Dickey.

Jeez! Are we part of a new Twilight Zone episode at UNT with all this?

GOD BLESS TEXAS!

Well said.

Patterson signed a deal till 2012 (i think) with no outs (ie. Frans UT, A&M, Bama)

Seems 3, 10 win seasons in his tenure has paid off for him.

Patterson isnt going anywhere. Bennett isnt going anywhere. I think SMU has turned the corner--- just in time to play us. Typical. In fact I would pick them to win 7 games next year. They have a ton of returning starters next year. They also ended their season beating Houston and UTEP... tell me, how close do you think we would have kept those games?

We should play SMU about as close as we did Tulsa. That should make our illustrious SMU grad Chancellor smile just to think about it. As to DD remember " it's just another OOC game, the season doesn't start till we get to the big bad SBC".

TCU wouldn't touch Dickey. The TCU supporters got organized a few years ago and now their program has direction. We're not organized.

Apply soon many offices still up for grabs!

I would vote for either of them if they will take the lead. We should take our rabble-rousing to a new level.
