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.

Agree with you, I went to the first three N.O. bowls and though we lost two of those, they were all fun(cinci. was fantastic). Hope the new enviornment does him, his family, and USU some good. Being an OC as opposed to HC has got to be better for his health.

They don't sound real happy about the hire.

Utah State went 1-11 this season. They shouldnt complain, there's nowhere to go but up. Dickey had some success here, and later, suffered some poor seasons. Im sure he's not going to run the identical offense at U-State.

Just a fact 98-144-3 is a 0.400 winning percentage

Dickey's 42-64-0 is a 0.396 winning percentage

Thank God we now have Dodge!!!

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.

I was on board with that sentiment until the uniform stunt. I don't wish ill on the guy, but I'm not going to pretend I hope he does well elsewhere. He's lucky to get a new gig that close to a head position.

I agree with you rcade... I wish no ill on anyone... but there are alot of people who would not be too upset with a 400k check to go away... and his comments and actions were very out of line.

Whoever FYI is on that thread...not cool!! Why can't you just leave DD alone, now that he's no longer a part of UNT? I was not happy with him here either, but I'm not going to try to sabotage his new job before he even gets started. Just let it go man...let it go...

I've been a defender of DD here...but I'm not sure that poster said anything that wasn't true.

No doubt, I would want to be warned if a guy like Dickey was just named our OC. How sorry do you want to feel for Dickey, he walked a way with over half a million dollars plus all the other BS he pulled.

      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.
