Tommy West pre-heart attack?

Could be, Drew. Certainly more offensive minded.

I'm trying to find a way to say I like this hire without a blatant sexual reference due to coaches name...it's difficult, lol

Yeah, I can get behind Dickey...just not the other way around!

Sun Belt Conference coach of the year 4 times at North Texas. Come on, North Texas.

The man can coach.

Great let's hire the guy that players on horrible teams think would be good

Wrong sport.

Pitchers and catchers don't play football.

I personally have no problem with Coach Dickey being our coach. He knows the system and our players. He will also be able to keep our recruits. Go Tigers Go!

Wasn't he on the opposite sideline during our New Orleans Bowl trip?

Yes...

Darrell Dickey would be able to keep this boat afloat.

He would be a good hire and he wouldn't be looking to leave asap.

I could get behind his hiring.

He went 8-25 his first 3 years, 29-21 his next 4 and 5-18 in his final 2 years.

not my first, second or third preference but I agree.
The wife would be thrilled though, she is a big Dickey fan.

I think most of us would prefer Odom, Riley, Meachum, Babers, etc.

But, if we 'settle' for Dickey, there are definitely worse hires we could make.

So if Dickey ends up being the choice...will we call him Tricky Dickey if he runs some trick plays?

"And that was beautifully drawn up by Tricky Dickey!"

And for the record, I just heard from a former player under Bailey/Dickey and there is a group of former players talking about this.
