Haha indeed but 4 conference titles and nostalgia sure is.  What he and Justin did at Memphis is too. 

I was thinking the same thing, thanks for putting it into words.

Meh. he won conference titles at 5-7, 8-5, 9-4. and 7-5. 1-3 Bowl games, In that 4 year stretch he won 2 OOC games. 

Maybe there's something there with the success at Memphis... but thats some real mediocre nostalgia.

You speak truth.

Fuente and Dickey at NT? Helluva reunion story on many fronts. Would be wild if DD convinced Fuente to bring Flanagan in from SMU. Man, I’d be at the 50yd line 1st game no doubt about it. Imagine the insanity that would ensue from the alumni side.

Is the practice field still named after Dickey?  That would be a little weird.  Maybe Fuente would ask that the windmills be named after him or something so it wouldn't feel so weird.

[GrandGreen]

Anyone wanting DD at NT is either not aware how he left or is a lot more tolerant than I hope NT is.  

[greenminer]

I'm interested in DD, not because of his career HC record, but because of his offensive mind and resourcefulness.

Remember DIckey had to play a lot of body bag games in the OCG.

My problems with DD's tenure, had a lot more to do with him than his record.  

[GrayEagle]

I liked Darrell when he was here but he burned the bridge with the cheap black jerseys (that he paid for) in his final game.

Please explain. Some love him, some hate him. Just want to hear what grudges many of you hold against him.

These look a lot closer to Littrell numbers than I thought they would. Of course minus the won championships and bowl win.

Why do some dogs eat their vomit? If it caused them to regurgitate the first time, why should they ever consider consuming it again?

@SilverEagle thoughts?  Ready for round 2?

Welp, the imagery associated with this question should be enough to shut down the thread, and any further discussion about DD coming back.

[KingDL1]

I was not a dickey fan, and I don't really see him coming back.

Dickey played three body bag games a year.

Littrell didn't have a true body bag game his whole time here, although he played several games like they were.

Huh?

2016: @Florida
2017: @Iowa
2018: @Arkansas (they were terrible & we won!!)
2021: @Mizzou

All of these were away games that were scheduled for a paycheck (re: "bodybag games").    We can cite reasons why Littrell was fired, but revising history isn't really necessary.

[KingDL1]

Were any of these teams ranked in the top five when we played them?

No.  Does that matter?    Did UNT not sign a contract with those teams to play them for a paycheck?

[southsideguy]

I am not a Dickey fan but someone was showing his records and I remember we played a lot of body bag games during his time here.  I wont hire him back.

Yes, A body game for me was playing a top 10 team at the beginning of the year for warm - up. Like a meat grinder. Regardless Littrell did not have to play teams that tough or that many a year. Not just filling in a slot for a P-5 team. I think all of the games Littrell had were winnable.
