DaMN reporting Dickey won't be back

[Got5onIt]

Yeah, the guy was present for the 4 SBC championships and that awesome win vs SMU this year. For that, I can sincerely say thank you!

Good luck, DD, in your career post NT.

[meanrob]

The last podcast told us how this probably wouldn't happen for financial reasons.  Based on your track record, yall need to address how the stadium won't happen for financial reasons...and then we can step back and revel in the power of the podcast.

I wish it worked that way. But then all i'd talk about would be how i'd never be indpendently wealthy.

I'm shocked, but firing DD is only part of the process needing to happen.

[Will to Win]

Breath of fresh air!

I am thankful for his contribution while at North Texas but it was time for a change and a new direction. I wish him and his family well.

I will be at our last home with a renewed vigor as I flip my Fajitas a final time this season and look forward to next season!

It is the part that I didn't think would happen at all. So that's something.

Now that it's over, I do feel bad for DD. But the underlying joy is that Ramon is OUTTA HERE!!

[Hunter Green]

And now RV, get to work!

[Mad Hatter]

HOLY SMOKES!!!!

What if Ramon is offered the head coaching job at NT? The sky won't be falling - it'll be the whole freakin' galaxy!

I would not worry about that happening.

[Will to Win]

Would RV make this move having some candidates in mind?

I applaud RV for making the announcement now and not letting the situation linger. Regardless if it was his call or DD's, it was the right thing to do and at the right time to do it for the program. I'm sorry for DD the man this had to happen and wish him good health in the future.

The larger question now is: What happens to diet coke boy?

[NCMeanGreen]

Good decision...should be an interesting next several months...

What caliber of coaches you think will apply? This could be a good job for someone, I would think...

[EagleD]

Memo to Darrell:

For the next 3 games, run and shoot. Throw, throw, throw, throw, draw play, then throw some more.

GO MEAN GREEN !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[GoMeanGreen1999]

It will be interesting to see how this team plays the remainder of the season.

[UNTLifer]

My father was a coach, so I know this is part of the profession, but I wish Coach Dickey the best and thank him for the conference championships and the trips to New Orleans. He has enough coaching connections that I am sure he will end up on someone's staff and do a great job.

Regarding the program, this had to happen to prove that the university is committed to moving this program forward. The Green Team, while a neat distraction, was an embarrassment.

Don't expect a sudden announcement as to who will be replacing DD. North Texas probably won't be able to talk to anyone until the seasons are wrapped up, unless a university gives NT permission. I don't see this happening as it would be disruptive to the other teams.

My hope is that RV is given the freedom to perform and extensive search for the best candidate.

What I'd like to see:

* Connection to the high school coaches in TX and OK to improve recruiting.

* An innovative offensive system.

* A contagious, upbeat personality that sells the program to the students, faculty and staff, alumni and Denton community.

* A proven winner.

* A coach that holds his players accountable.

What I'd really like to witness:

PMG performing his total revision to the KSU/BOR manifesto.

Looked like Kenny Evans made Marshall his "hold my playcard and notepad" boy. His Shirpa abilities are vastly underated.

[GoMeanGreen1999]

Speaking of Plumm, where is he - I figured he would be here by now. It will be interesting to see how many new folks might join, or how many will be on here later tonight.

[gangrene]

I've been swamped at the office today so I just now heard the news on the radio.

Thank you RV for listening to the masses and doing the right thing.

I wish DD the best and I'll always be grateful to him for the success we had in our four SBC championships and NO Bowl appearances.

Now, it's time to patch the holes in this ship and get it turned around in the right direction!!! I can't wait to see who's on the list of candidates and I hope we can get someone hired in time to recruit the high school playoffs.

[FirefightnRick]

Told you so, bitches!!!!

Uh, no. The "I Told Ya So's" go out to FlyOnTheWall.

[UNTFan23]

I'm just happy we decided to actually pull the trigger.

[ksigjayt]

I heard the news on the way home from work with TIgreen01... our mouths dropped!

We already went out and bought the celebration cigars and booze! I'm sad to see him go, but I know its time. He brought us conference championships and for that I thank him. I wish him the best -- but I heard the best quote ever before getting out of the truck ---

after talking about how bad Dickey's year has gone by way of his health, I heard the quote after the announcement of the firing ---

"...maybe thats why they are called the MEAN GREEN!"

[Cr1028]

Well now it is time for all the talkers to put up or shut up. MGC membership and season tickets sales should skyrocket and attendance for the final game should be standing room only.
