Wow... As bad as people talk on this board about Matt Simon, this ought to help the argument of getting rid of Dickey.

Win %'s:

Simon 0.411

Dickey 0.415

The difference is that Dickey was able to put just enough wins together over 4 seasons to win the conference 4 times.

I'm not pro nor con on Simon, but if I remember correctly his riff with the AD was facilities. How would Simon have faired in the Sun Belt of today with the facilities and budget that Dickey works with?

Then again, with todays facilities when Simon was here, would we even be in the SBC? Perhaps the WAC or CUSA? That is, assuming Simon would had a nice Won/Loss record with the current facilities.

If I recall (as stated above), much of the beef with Simon was personality conflicts with the AD's office, etc. Matt has skins on the wall, including a Super Bowl ring. He was in a bad situation... you know how some of us talk about how much better things are now program-wise than back in the mid-late 90's? That's what Simon had to deal with.

I've heard Simon had issues with Helwig over lack of facilities and the number of body bag games Helwig would schedule to fund the program.

Both areas that have been addressed by RV. Just something to consider.

      Love me some Chico with the jet black Roy Orbison interim hair. For me Chico is like Creed. I'm not supposed to love them but I do. Coach Canales loved North Texas more than most alumni.

      Earth to GMG

      This world does not exist anymore. It used to, but not in the portal and NIL age of college football. If players cared about coaching staff stability they would not be transferring at the rate they are. If this thinking permeates our AD, then they need to look for a new line of work because that ship sailed. Seriously, how many 17-18 years olds sit down and review the contracts of the coaches to decide which offer to take? High school recruiting should be de-emphasized. It can't go away completely, but building a program through the high school ranks over multiple years no longer works. When recruiting high school players, I think the only "stability" play is academic stability. There are a lot of players that have the skill and ability to play D1 football, but won't make it to the next level. Hopefully they are smart enough to realize that. Sell them (and their parents!) on playing a sport they love and getting a solid education and degree while they do. That's why it's important to continue to improve the academic status of UNT. We're not going to be a Stanford, but improving 4-year graduation rates and tighter admission standards will help.

      AAC Trend - Year 2 of 5 Firings

      At this point in the football cycle, if you fire a coach then you throw away all the recruiting work being done for the following seasons. The portal opens up in just a few days, and most AAC schools build their next years roster in the transfer portal. How hard is it going to be for these programs to build rosters for next season if they dont have a head coach going into the transfer window?

      I hope we lose to Temple

      Remember how much we hated La Tech in the 90’s and ‘2000’s? How we mocked them for stupidly going from an Independent in the 90’s to wasting the mega bucks on travel in the WAC in the 2000’s, and their obnoxious fans coming here talking trash? Then 2012 happened…… https://coachad.com/news/did-louisiana-tech-really-turn-down-a-bowl-game/ They had elevated their program to the point that when they lost the last two conference games of the ‘12 season finishing 9-3, and ending as the nation’s #1 offense, they were so damn upset over it they chose, either directly or indirectly to not play ULM in the Independence Bowl. That announcement was the day I practically fell in love with their school and their program because to me it was the greatest stance on principle and accountability and a standard they felt they had set for themselves and held to. Since then, we’ve been there several times, you and me, and have seen how poor their athletics were funded all those years, which gained even more respect from this college athletics fan. That’s where I am as a fan and alumn of NT right now. Wishing we would set a standard, a high standard and stick with it. Rick
