ACC

eeally · October 31, 2006

Listening to talk radio here in Austin and the ACC came up. It was mentioned that 7 or the ACC football head coaches were on the hot seat. Including Bobby Bowden. My point is these are teams with winning records, but are expceted to produce. If they do not produce they are shown the door and go on to become coordinatiors or lateral moves.

But some would gladly go to a Mid Major to prove themselves again that they can make a program great.

IE North Texas.

DD had his shot after the 4 titles. It is over. Buy out his contract and take a lesson from the ACC that mediocrity will not be tolerated.

2 cents

Bunting at UNC is already gone and Amato at NC State looks to be next according to the scuttlebut. UNC has put out feelers to Tulsa's coach who said "not interested". Perhaps they will contact DD next.

Woohoo! Bobby Bowden is as good as ours.

Well as some on here believe that DD is a "good" coach, surely some of those teams will come calling him and hire him away from us.....right?

Really? I think you'd be hard pressed to name 1 person on this board that believes that.

oh I don't know, having an average of 4 wins per year over your career isn't all bad is it?

There is not a team in America who is Iwho would hire Dickey. That's that fact, Jack. Part of it, frankly, is his now widely known health issues.

The point of my discussion is that back to back 2-9 seasons trumphs 4 titles.

He would be gone anywhere else.

If any non-BCS school's athletic department is not losing some of its personel to higher profile programs, then at most non-BCS schools that would be a most obvious red flag as to what real bonafide and actual college football hiring experts would think about that school's employees.

So with that in mind, just maybe all of those who would be called college football program novices "who don't really know anything about the workings of a college football program" may even have more things in common with many of the higher profile college football program hiring authorities than a hardy handful even on GMG.com would ever want to admit?

And BTW............ whatever happened to the concept of free speech?

Surely we can post about things that are happening at our own state-assisted and tax supported major Texas university or are we going to go the route of the elitist and (almost) snobbish (insert sublimenal Logo-Gate) private university and completely withold pertinent information that will ultimately affect many, many more thousands of NT Exes for years to come over the very few who would force-feed their agendas on our thousands of UNT alums?

And then (like we've seen so many times before at UNT thru the decades), those who would make such crucial and long-lasting decisions for the rest of us to support seem to do some version of the Cotton Eyed Joe and ramble off into the wild blue yonder rarely to be seen again in Denton, Texas, America?

Have A Nice Evening
