He clearly couldn't stand being apart from JayDub.

Dickey's been stalking me since the 2005 GMG.com Bowl when I wandered the sidelines with my "All-Draw" playbook stuffed down the front of my pants and my very own Diet Coke boy.

Guess I need to get that restraining order...

"Darrell knows our situation, because it is the exact situation he had at North Texas," Guy said. "They played a difficult non-conference schedule and then got into conference play."

I hope they're not sympathizing with his bend-over-for-the-big-boys attitude. That wasn't exactly propelling our program to the next level.

Ok, good for Dickey - now comes a big question - do we have to pay him? From what I understand, guaranteed contracts are null and void if the coach goes to work for someone else. If they hire him on at less (which they will) then we will be responsible for making up the rest of the money that he would have earned at NT, right? That should save us SOME money at least...

While we are on the subject, how long will it take before Mattress Mac starts becoming an Aggie Fan? Utah State Aggies, that is...

I really think this needs to be a positive thread. Coach Dickey did some good things for us during his tenure here and I wish him nothing but the best in his new job.

When DD was terminated and received a buy-out of his contract did it have a provision that his next job will reduce that amount?

I feel sorry for the Utah fans if he uses the same offense he did at NT>

Chief Dispatch Instructor here in the office is a USU grad. He's a little bummed it's going to be the same offense.

Dickey's a good guy...his offense just sucks.

You watch...USU will suddenly become an offensive powerhouse and we'll look like asses.

They haven't been this pissed off since polygamy was outlawed.

:lol:

But seriously, I wish Dickey the best. Our luck, he comes up with some mastermind new offense he had been engineering and hadn't yet had the time to implement- then we fired him..... nnnnah... but I still wish him well.

true true. Best of luck to him and the fam.

..and no, he's clearly not flipping anyone off in the above photo. I see three fingers below the one that's pointing.

I agree with Harry.

Not to be an old-timer (oops, too late), but those who haven't been around North Texas and Denton since the 1960s may not remember the absolutely dreadful condition North Texas football was in for a very, very long time. In the twenty-two years between Hayden Fry's departure and UNT's first New Orleans Bowl season, North Texas was 98-144-3. Seven winning seasons, fifteen losing seasons, and terrible fan indifference. I never thought I'd see North Texas in a bowl game.

So despite the unfortunate way things ended, my thanks to Coach Dickey for giving North Texas championship games at Fouts Field and that bowl victory in New Orleans, which will forever be among my most cherished sports memories.

Best of luck to him in Utah, and best of health to him.

You're definitely right Smitty....Heck i'm just a current student but I think for what DD had and his situation he certainly did quite a bit for this program and put this program on the map regionally and somewhat nationally. The grapes just turned sour here but nothing should be taken way from him cuz he did lead the mean green to 4 straight conference championships and bowl games.

i am all about the high road but let's not get carried away.... <_<

I agree. I really feel sorry for the fans of Utah State. If allowed Dickey may very well "run" their program right into the ground. I am sooooo glad he is no longer at UNT.

Good luck to Coach Dickey and his family.

Time to move on, folks.

---Agree, I wish him well, he did some good things for us.

I do think "The Black Uniform Incident" was a bit tacky however.

      Mensah Getting $8 Million NIL Deal

      You got it dumbass. Seriously, let’s look at the two situations without inserting race since you felt the need. Mensah is a RS Freshmen that entered the portal stating his price. He didn’t get a degree from Tulane and probably cleared out some basics while there. Mensah may be a great student and may live up to his last name, but his academic success was never mentioned just that he was entering the portal and here is his price Morris was at North Texas as a student that had already earned his degree, the reason he missed spring practice, and a dollar amount was never mentioned regarding his transfer/entering the portal. You chose to read it as a racial observation, not me. You were looking for something that wasn’t there nor considered when I made my comment. I was just adding in to another poster’s comments. Stupid financial decisions are not the result of race but thanks for. Inferring that. Watch the “30 for 30” episode titled “Broke” and it will reveal that it happens to all races. Thanks for being who you are though. I would be shocked if you replied differently.

      Portal players leaving

      I think the fact that he's playing in the bowl game shows 1) he just wants to play and 2) it just shows more of the drive and commitment that's gotten him to where he his. I'm not gonna' fault him for leaving if they aren't rewarding him with a scholarship and especially if it looks like he isn't going to be in the main rotation next year. That feels like "thanks for bailing us out, now go sit down."

      Too many "player-whisperers" these days telling kids what they should do next in their career. I'd like to see more data about players that left a program for NIL/more playing time on what the return on their investment was. If they had a do-over would they make different decisions or was it really the right move? Do players that change schools every year really have a loyalty to any of them when their playing days are over?

      Stop Blaming Athletes and the NCAA for Ruining College Football

      There is a lot of collateral damage in this Portal and NIL era. Fan-withdrawal because of PTSD associated with transferring key players will cause less emotional investment, and eventually less $$ investment in the program they follow. NIL donation requests, ticket surcharges, and pleas from ADs has displaced asking for donations for brick and mortar projects. Player buy-in to a coaching staff and program has been replaced with NIL buy-out of the players.
