UNT could learn from Trojan plan 11:24 PM CST on Sunday, October 29, 2006 Brett Vito/Staff Writer Troy coach Larry Blakeney said earlier this year that switching offensive philosophies after the 2005 season was one of the toughest coaching decisions he has ever made. The Trojans rode an offense based on a solid running game and hit on a few play-action passes from Division II to I-AA and finally Division I-A in the Sun Belt Conference. It wasn’t until after last season, when his team hit a roadblock in its development, that Blakeney changed his plan and brought in former Kentucky offensive coordinator Tony Franklin to install a wide-open spread passing attack. So far the move has paid off for the Trojans, who gave Florida State and Georgia Tech a run for their money and are sitting at 2-0 in Sun Belt Conference play after knocking off North Texas 14-6 on Saturday. That loss all but eliminated the Mean Green (1-3) from the race for the Sun Belt title and raised the question: has UNT reached the point where it needs to make a similar change under head coach Darrell Dickey? UNT and Troy were near mirror images of each other three years ago when the Mean Green were in the midst of winning four straight Sun Belt titles. UNT lined up, ran the ball down the throats of opponents and produced back-to-back national rushing champs in Patrick Cobbs (2003) and Jamario Thomas (2004). Equaling that success has been a struggle ever since for the Mean Green. UNT went 2-9 last year and after another tough loss on Saturday fell to 2-6 overall with an offense that ranks last in Division I-A with an average of 206.1 yards a game. Troy was just the latest team to stack the line of scrimmage and stymie Thomas, who had a season low 23 yards rushing on Saturday. After the game, Dickey attributed those struggles in part to a series of mistakes that continue to haunt the Mean Green. “If the other team physically dominates you – and they did that at times -- that is a little more livable than continuing to [mess up] play after play,” Dickey said. UNT’s offensive line hasn’t opened the holes Thomas needs to get past defensive fronts that are often stacked with eight players. Finding a line full of 300-pound behemoths whom could handle the task might be possible for a team like Wisconsin or Michigan, but it is proving tougher than it used to be for UNT. Attracting quarterbacks to play in that system hasn’t been easy either. Carson Coffman, UNT’s top recruiting target among high school quarterbacks last season, passed on a scholarship offer from UNT to walk on at Kansas State. UNT landed junior college transfer Woody Wilson partly because most teams from major conferences wanted him to play defensive back. Others backed away from Daniel Meager because he suffered a serious leg injury in high school. No Division I-A team other than UNT offered Matt Phillips. All three quarterbacks have had their shot to start this season, but none have nailed down the starting job. UNT managed to recruit the best wide receiver in school history in Johnny Quinn and has several other talented receivers, but it might be time to consider what a change in philosophy might do for the Mean Green. Most high school teams now base in a spread formation or some variation of it. Texas Tech rebuilt its program and established an identity with the spread. Southlake Carroll High School became a national phenomenon with it. Think some Texas high school players would be interested in sticking with what they learned in high school on the college level? Dickey is an offensive coach by trade and has always held the control when it comes to the Mean Green’s offense. He has been more apt to be balanced when he had an experienced quarterback like former UNT great Scott Hall on hand, but fact remains that the Mean Green’s offense is based on the tailback. Always has been. Throwing on every down out of the spread might not be the answer, but after watching some aspects of UNT’s loss to Troy one has to wonder if a Trojans-like change in philosophy might be in order. Quinn made a beautiful catch on fourth-and-16 that set UNT up at the Troy 6-yard line in the fourth quarter. The Mean Green had six cracks at the end zone from inside the 10, thanks to a Troy penalty and never made it in the end zone. The series was just one of several instances the last two seasons where UNT came up short pounding the ball with its running game. Troy changed its approach because of a slide similar to what UNT is experiencing. One has to wonder if the time hasn’t arrived for UNT to follow suit. BRETT VITO can be reached at 940-566-6870.

You name the spot Ill be there and will bring others... We might need a Keg!!

As long as it's our coach

Im SICK of people saying the TE coach has done a GREAT JOB... Collins has had 1 and only 1 great catch the whole season.. NOTE : past 2 seasons TEs have had a grand total of 16 catches.............16 ( thats less than 1 a game) !!!! You might say that part of that is the lack of passing , true. But TE are 1/2 OL too & we have alot of formations where we line up 2 TEs so they are part of the pass protecting problem. My gut tells me that only DD & Bliel will stay , which I dont like but Ill deal with it on the fact that Ill atleast know for sure they both will be gone after the 07 season. If RF is still here.... Im done with UNT & you can bet there wont be 1 home game nexy year with over 5,000 in the stands.

From the Sports Xchange 12/18/2005: Rick Stockstill thanked the coaches that preceded him -- Charles Murphy, Boots Donnelly and Andy McCollum -- and then immediately hit the ground running. Stockstill was hired as the 14th head coach in school history and replaced Andy McCollum, who was fired after seven seasons. McCollum was the only coach Middle Tennessee had in the Division I-A era, which began in 1999. "Those guys have laid a great foundation here over the years," Stockstill said. "I know this is a difficult situation and I've been here many times before. But I want to thank those guys because they've done the hard work and they've laid the foundation. They've laid the concrete and I'm following them. "With that being said, now it's my time and my turn to take this program to the next level." The Blue Raiders went 4-7 overall and 3-4 in the Sun Belt this season, and finished with a losing record for the fourth straight year. "I told the team that I'm not a patient person," Stockstill said. "I'm not going to come here and say, 'In two years or three years or four years, this is what we ought to be.' I know we've got some challenges ahead of us, and it's not going to be easy. But I'm committed to it, and I expect us to challenge and win games this year."

Ok let me rephrase that , only coaches can ruin your gameday experience if you leave your tailgate seat.

So No Active Coaches right.. any Idea where McCollum is at now ??

By season's end we will be bottom 5 , if not dead last

Starting a new club this Saturday the PBC......Paper Bag Club. We do not discrimante against Brown, Black, White, Red, Blue, Green, Yellow or Orange Colored bags. 2 holes in the eye spots are optional due to threat of bad offensive play can cause harm to your eyesight. The only rule is the hole for the mouth... must be able to yell at the Coaches !!! Firing the Coach signs and White Towels made to throw in will be provided. Thank you for your support

"We lacked execution," Wilson said. "Everyone wasn't on the same page. ... We missed checks at the line and had some miscommunication."

The 10 Coach's in America i was refering to was including : NFL,College,CFL,Arena,NFL Europe,High School,Junior High,YMCA,Flag,Pee-Wee & even all the foreign coaches who coach football , but we call soccer... 10 might of been a reach

Weis just said "nobody in America can outcoach me" would be nice if Dickey could just say " I could outcoach 10 other coaches in America"

Lets all meet up an hour before the game ... Anyone got a hook up and can get 50 or so paper bags ??

I overheard RF is going as an Off. Cord.

Watch and see if their are any similarities to a GREAT coach and what we have now. If you find any please post

Just go to Devry , that way you can choose who to root for

Its pretty easy to get knocked out when your his head is always spinning from the wofeful play calling

Yep , I think 0-14 is right. I know we were 0-11 at one point. Id like to know what the avg. yd needed was on those 3rd Downs. Had to more than 6yds I would think. Of course we had 3rd down inside the 5 a few times!! Its pathetic,pathetic,pathetic,pathetic,pathetic. You would think also by the 8th game of the season we wouldnt have trouble with our QB having run ins with our RBs and OLs. You would think by the 8th game of the season you would learn to save your timeouts during the game. You would think by the 8th game we would be able to get 1 FREAKIN play called during 1 FREAKIN TIMEOUT. Each day that passes we take a step back. I guess the AD feels if we WIN just 1 more game that it would be considered as progress since we only WON 2 all last year.

LOOK at the ALL them PoiNTs. They will score more combined this game then we will all year.

That's brillant!! Great Idea!!. I think the stadium will be about half full at best. We need to get as many people as possible to sit in our endzone to send a message with ever having to say a word. How funny would that look with a packed endzone ?? LaTech does not have a great D , but im sure they will shine vs. us. PACK THE ENDZONE!!

I guess we are just that bad. Is it just me or does every coach and player have their "breakout game " of their LIFE vs us!!! Will be a long day when FAU comes to down. Leonard's stats today 7-16-55yds - 3ints. Oh well , he can count on another good game vs NT next year ( pending staff status )
