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.

      Brett Yormark, Big 12 Commissioner, basically told SMU that there was one school in the country that made obvious sense to add and it was SMU but TCU, OK State, Baylor, Tech, etc. did not want to elevate SMU. This year is proving them right to a certain degree b/c with the level playing field SMU will outspend and surpass them in record time. Why waste four years of your life in Lubbock, Stillwater, Fort Worth, or Waco when you could be in Dallas?

      RIP Dana. Too young indeed. He worked his craft his whole life. A short life well lived.

      what a bunch of garbage. Schools have been paying players, inducing high school recruits, and skirting (or outright ignoring) the rules since they started keeping score. The only difference now is that its out in the open for everyone to see. This is a bunch of revisionist history and yearning for the "good ol days" when in truth this stuff has always been there.

      Craponi should give his salary to Rod Brown for misusing him. In general, Rod has never been valued enough. He has been outstanding in very tough circumstances.

      Well NT 80, you are right. I am a dinosaur, but far from being a bitter fan. I have had a lot of joy through UNT athletics through out the decades but also some disappointment. I don't understand why our students show so little support and alumni give so little money. I don't understand why we can't build a winning football program but I expect you will tell us. I agree that my social graces have slipped but one of the pleasures of becoming an old man is not having to suffer fools.I will also at 82 admit to occasional memory lapses although I must say you are unforgettable. In summary I disagree with most but not all of your posts, respect your right to have a different opinion, find you easy to pimp,and wish you a blessed life.
