Anybody who trashes Bicknell does NOT understand the hands he was dealt.
I can't agree with you there. I do agree he was dealt a crappy hand but he still seemed in way over his head to me. I never liked that hire to begin with. VERY good OL coach though. And a good guy.

Agree.

Dig a little deeper, that won't happen.

I agree with this. In hindsight, JB-3 was a classic case of someone being in over his head.

I'm hoping he starts over with coaching staff too!
Re: Coordinator Search...
Bick was a walking cluster-f**k. Stop mentioning that loser's name. Damn, people! Can't any of you see how frickin far we've come in 6 years, under DD and SD, compared to the previous 8? And, heck! Bick used Crowton's recruits to have what success he did have!
We're moving onward and upward!!!

What spread kid in Louisiana would not want to play for Dunn. La.Tech has hit a home run last year with the high powered offense. The big receivers that come out of these spread offenses will come to Ruston instead of the run oriented bigger schools. We have the kids right here in La. to win but we have to use our La. ties to get them. Somehow Dunn convinces some pretty good recruits to go to La.College because he wins there. Have you ever been to La.College??? How could you get anybody there??
Hire Dunn and put asses in the seats and create the greatest show on turf in north Louisiana..
(Disclaimer)No I'm not Dennis, nor his cousin or family. Met him a couple times during recruiting. I just understand the offensive mind this guy has. He's the closest thing to Franklin we could possibly land. Hell, Franklin himself would tell you that
Re: Coordinator Search...
If you think Dunn is the man you should probably tell Skip who he is. I doubt he has ever heard of him.
Re: Coordinator Search...
Dunn has baggage.......we dont want him
Re: Coordinator Search...
Am I the only one that thinks Dunn would be a good choice for OC? Baggage you say.. Its America, we are all about second and third chances and redemption. Unless you are a black head coach. JUST KIDDING. (I normally wouldn't agree with that complaint but the numbers are pretty convincing regarding the rehiring of black head coaches). Anyway, I would be happy with Dunn as OC.

Dumbass post. NO ONE here has come anywhere close to suggesting he should come back here and coach. NO ONE.

You should have Dunn get his resume together and forward it to to Holtz. Who knows if Dunn even wants a coordinator's job, is willing to take a step down or if they would even get along. We can't do anything about it on this board. I think Skip will be doing the hiring!
Re: Coordinator Search...
double D us not someone you want to run your offense. I know first hand his capabilities as a coach. Great motivator, good man, but not a d1 oc. He didn't ll plays, design plays at LC. He assisted with oline and managed.
