Next Coach ?

[SCREAMING EAGLE-66]

---Not about coaching but about some posts about the 60's.... The 60's aren't what a lot of people think.... after 1966 was a great diffferent that before then The first part was more of a "Beach Boy " attitude not the druggie 60's. I graduated from UNT in 1966 and had never once saw a marijuana cigarette or knew of anyone using drugs although we wondered about some of those music guys. I lived at College Inn so I was not so innocent and sheltered from what was going on. I first heard of acid that spring but in California, but not Texas.... When I returned in 1971 it was a completely different world at UNT. Those five years had really changed UNT and society in general .... The War protests, hippies, and worst racial trouble happened in that time plus women rights had really kicked in.... gasp!!.. now women now even wore pants to class unlike in 1966. The single gender dorms did not exist much with all the regulations for women that had existed easlier. It was odd time to be alive and it often left you wondering what would happen to us next.

---In that 5 years society changed more than any other 5 years I have been alive. Totally different but also meanfull would be the time from 1995 to 2000 when personal computers and the internet became common-place. many other things in society have changed because of that including the ease to find information and communicate across country. Posting here was not even possible 12 years ago.... and cell (mobile) phones were almost unknown.

Bring back Matt Simon, and let him use all of his scholarships. He was "reassigned" partly because he made too many adjustments in a game. I'd rather have too many than none. Well, I take that back. The only thing Dickey adjusts at halftime is himself.

To PMG & UNTLifer-

My sincere appology if I thought you were older.  The wisdom that both of you interject on this board make you appear much wiser in years than your age suggests.

With all due respect, Hayden Fry is retired. He wasn't forced out at Iowa to my knowledge, and he is retired. That means he doesn't want to work anymore. I play golf with a couple of guys at DCC who played for him and they love him, but he aint coming back.

ATTENTION: SHORT POST! SHORT POST! SHORT POST!

Agree.....and I defer to another post/another thread where I said something to the effect of "come on, fellas, Hayden Fry is pushing well into his 80's" BUT............flyonthewall, IMO, where I feel we missed a golden opportunity with Hayden was hiring him as an athletic dept. fundraising consultant because in my Baby Boomer heart of hearts, I believe Hayden Fry (even today) could raise among all his Dallas contacts the "down payment" monies we need to turn dirt for what will hopefully not be a "too down-sized capacity" new football stadium at Eagle Point Campus.

You've seen Coach Fry work a room, flyonthewall? It's really something to behold.

I let PMG speak for himself, but referring to my posts as interjecting wisdom will get you laughed off this board.

O.k, I agree with you on how he works a room, and I agree with his fundraising skills. O.T. Can you and I agree that we both want the same thing?
