Dickert: "“We want people here that wanna be here, and that’s from the janitor all the way to the top of administration.”

Coaches leave, that's our history. He stepped into a tough situation that only become a bigger challenge over time. I was in the minority with family and friends in that he always came off to me a bit like "Russell Wilson" if that makes sense. He just seemed full of smoke and comments coming out from players seem to confirm it at least a bit.

Taking off before the Bowl game is unforgivable. Still, for some reason I don't have a lot emotion for this coach other than I know the alternative is probably Kent level hire for football.

On to the next.
 
He was obviously full of shit...


In all honesty, is there anything else that he could have said back then?

I don't think he was planning on leaving but when you look at the fact that our fans didn't show up to see our 7-1 football team play Utah State, 75% of our fans default response on funding is "I don't have extra money right now", and we are obviously competing with one hand behind our back....can you blame him for taking an opportunity that came up?

More so if the rumors about pay cut discussions are true. For me, Dickert is just another guy who moved on and I no longer care how he fares moving ahead. I'm not mad at him but I won't root for him.

I agree that he came off as cheesy and politically correct, like Wilson. It would have been nice to see him just lose his mind Leach style once or twice to prove he's human and not a robot. Oh, well.

Definitely don't need/want a presser from him addressing Cougar nation chock full of platitudes.
Or in other words:

keep my school's name out your mother fcking mouth!

Don't fall in love with a dreamer because he'll always take you in.
Just when you think you've really changed him
He'll leave you again.

Hard to tell from this photo. He looks like a robot or a marionette being pulled by strings.

I got to where I could no longer listen to his endless cliche coach speak
