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!

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? rolleyes.gif

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. sad.gif

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... huh.gif

I can't get past the spam to get to the sites! I get hit so many times I'm out of window space before I can read an article

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.

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.

      Sell Out Next Week?

      I think everyone knows this. It doesn’t make the practice any less dumb. With everything being electronic nowadays they could easily announce the actual attendance. Last night was a jarring example. There weren't more than 22-23K. And what annoys me the most is because of the announced attendance, last night is officially the 5th best attended game in stadium history, which is total BS.

      Did we dump the 3-3-5 for good?

      I mean I’ve spent lots of time talking about this defense (which I do not love) but there aren’t too many gaps. The scheme accounts for gaps, but relies on excellent linebacker play to go along with excellent safety play. For me, it always comes down to the defensive line. In 2013, we ran a 4-3 base and Flusche et al generated pressure with that front four and it made the whole group very good. The next year with the same base we were leaky. The difference was the line. Reffett had a solid defense with Nate Brooks and Kemon Hall at corner and would bring LB blitzes (to make up for the lack of great line play) and it worked. The next year they struggled as the corners couldn’t man up and the pressure was late. Littell’s defenses post Reffet were awful until he lucked into the Murphy twins and upset top 25 UTSA. Mazin Richards helped him get enough to get to the title game the next year. Last year? Awful line play. This year? Better line play. It’s always about line play no matter how many you put out there. Get pressure on the QB or else you lose.

      What's at stake as Pac-12, Mountain West and American Athletic Conference plan their futures

      Memphis and Tulane are weighing their options of joining the Pac-12 or remaining in the American. Depending on who AAC commissioner Tim Pernetti can acquire, staying in their current conference might be the best option for the Tigers and/or the Green Wave. Pernetti is known to desire UNLV and Air Forcefrom what's left of the Mountain West. If the Falcons and Rebels jump to the AAC instead of the Pac-12 then all the sudden the AAC might look more desirable for Memphis and Tulane to stay put. Both Memphis and Tulane are desired by the Pac-12 for their consistency and recent success in football. Both are essentially top 50 TV markets, but Memphis brings a record of success in basketball and Tulane is attractive because it's in New Orleans. (Don't think that presidents and ADs haven't thought about fun weekends in N'awlins while watching their teams play. read more: https://www.cbssports.com/college-football/news/whats-at-stake-as-pac-12-mountain-west-and-american-athletic-conference-plan-their-futures/amp/

      Great Week 4 Uniform Video

      Never was a fan of the script, but I’ve got to admit, we looked GREAT. I like the all green more than I realized as well.
