Part of me also thinks that Jimbo will use the LSU game as the "proof" he needs that the offense he designed works and not change anything


This is exactly what I've been thinking - the LSU win has cemented in Jimbo's mind that he is indeed the offensive genius that he always believed he was, and he ain't turnin' nothin' over to nobody.

What a bunch of ghey farts in this thread. Dickey's offense sucked. We hardly got any points. It does not matter whether he was a jolly good fellow or not. This is business. And life isn't fair. When will you wimps realize this?
You think that was Darrell's offense and he got to call the shots?? Not a chance. He ran a high powered offense as quarterback at Tennessee. No way in Hades he called the shots as OC. He knows what works with his background as a player. He was just a fall guy for Jimbo's micromanaging. You need to ride out of town everyone that signed off on the biggest Tom Foolery contract to Fisher in the history of college football.

Except he's not the fall guy.


He had to be let go to make changes.

If you install the offense and call the plays over what a so called OC wants then you are not making changes. Its the status quo for whomever the next fool comes in as an OC. Dickey was tutored under the same offensive coordinator that Peyton Manning and Tee Martin was. You think, for a moment, the offense you had was anything like what Darrell, Peyton and Tee ran? Give me a break. You're letting the wrong coach go.

Ok vol. Glad you know so much about what we are doing/going to do.

Boo hoo! Brent Z didn't get the unfettered access that he thinks he is entitled to. I wish these whiny media hacks would just go away. Unfortunately, I know we're stuck with them.

We'll never know what impact Coach Dickey was having on play calling. He sat in the booth telling Jimbo what looks the defense was giving, but as far as calling plays we'll never know. Perhaps he was making suggestions. Anyway, he's the sacrificial lamb. Thanks Coach Dickey for your time here at TAMU.

OFFS. It wasn't Dickey's offense. Have you not been paying attention for the last 5 years?

If it wasn't then he should have resigned. What was he doing, collecting paychecks for doing nothing?

They'll learn the miseries of HUNH soon enough. Though from what I've seen of the fan base it's going take a while.

You're totally right. Why didn't Jimbo fire himself.

Remember how bitter Brent Z got when Liucci had that fireside chat with Sumlin? It was kind of glorious.

This is so dumb and bizarre and ****ty for Dickey. He never called plays and everyone knows it but he's the fall guy. So stupid.
Yup. I mean he literally could've just given Dickey control of the offense and stepped back and it would've been the same as a new hire; Dickey is a known offensive mind and has had good offenses before with less talent, running an offense that is different enough that it isn't a "Jimbo" offense. It smacks of politicking.

The thing is:



Why tf does Jimbo not allow the coordinators to talk? They're grown assed men, not toddlers. Is he afraid they'll say something that impugns his honor? They know coachspeak as well as he does and can take criticism as well (and possibly better) than he can. It really doesn't make sense.

Maybe they don't want to talk to the press.

I don't think expecting to be able to talk to the Offensive Coordinator means he expects unfettered access

BZ loses access by throwing a temper tantrum.

It's fun to pile on Brent, but I don't think I'm the only one who thinks he might be onto something in the back of their mind.

Jimbo's decision-making this year was inexplicable. So yeah, I don't trust that he'll completely turn things over to a new OC.

Besides, HOW WILL WE KNOW WHO IS RUNNING THE OFFENSE IF THE NEW OC CAN'T SPEAK TO THE PRESS.

This is so silly, OCs and DCs rarely talk to the media, and BZ being butt-hurt about it says more about him than Jimbo or the program. Guess what, after an initial presser he will never talk to the new OC either....

Nice thread title. Sounds like indecent exposure.

Justin Fuente hired Dickey at Memphis, but Fuente called the plays.
Mike Norvell retained Dickey at Memphis, and again, Norvell called plays.

Dickey is not a play caller for a decade.

He called it under Fuentes.

BZ: this is BS, we should get to interview the OC to get insight into the offensive troubles.

JF: fine, you get 3 questions. I'll turn it over to DD.

BZ: oh great, I have so many questions since you have prevented us from interacting with anyone else.

DD, if the offense improves their 3rd down conversion rate, cuts back on turnovers, and gets the ball in the end zone more frequently, do you think the offense would score more points?

DD: … JFC, I'm out!

BZ: ….
