DRC Article: Flanigan Moves To Sideline

In offensive production.

BTW, the new DRC website is terrible.

Yep, that's it. Flanagan takes credit for the offensive production because he has a better feel for the game on the sidelines. After all these years as OC, Ramon just found this out.

All BELO sites made the change (DRC, DMN, WFAA, etc...) and yeah, it's terrible!!!

I can't get to the DRC sports pages right now. I guess to many GMG readers are out there reading it...

From the DRC Article: Flanigan and head coach Darrell Dickey said they made the switch so Flanigan could get a better feel for the game while calling plays and have more one-on-one contact with the Mean Green’s quarterbacks.

Wow!!!

Now this is the major coaching change I've been looking for!!! Way to go Dickey!!!

I'm amazed it only took 9 games, I figured it would take at least 11 to make a change this big!

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

I'm glad RF took credit for the offensive increase even though the Dickey/Brewster "Green" Team was the reason for it and RF had absolutely no part in it.

Separating the Dickster from the ugly stuff, now?

I have new nickname for DD --> Teflon Darryl

He always finds a way to keep fans loyal. Nothing sticks or can break the man. Truely the Teflon Don.

Oh, I'm not saying DDs mark wasn't on the regular squad, but the man from that duo not present in the Green team is RF. So I feel like that he is most likely the problem. Either that or Brewster just really is that good.

I'll stick with your Brewster Theory.

Teflon Dickey may very well have beaten the "rap" and will be back next year.

OR, the offense was better because we were playing the WORST Defense in all of D1 football.

This offense will come back down to reality this week.

Everyone starts with the initial 15 clickable smileys. After you have achieved gmg-select status you'll get the other 35. user posted image

Here's what bothers me about the whole thing.... Throughout his tenure at NT, everyone has always said that DD called all the shots on offense - including approving plays from RF before they hit the field. If that's true, that certainly explains a lot of the delay of game penalties we get - especially in recent years.

So if DD approves all of RF's plays, then how is it that we can say DD basically washed his hands on the regular offense and implemented his own offense for the Green Team. What in the 9 years of Dickey Ball has made people think this to be the case? My theory is that DD felt it was a nothing to lose situation and let Brewster call the plays. Maybe I'm wrong and DD did have more a say in the Green Team offense, but my gut feeling just tells me no.
