DENTON – North Texas coach Darrell Dickey said he will look into a confrontation between offensive coordinator Ramon Flanigan and a fan during halftime of the Mean Green's game against Louisiana-Lafayette on Saturday at Fouts Field.
A few UNT coaches were walking from the press box to the field when alumnus Bill Covert said he yelled toward them that they were being outcoached.
Covert said one assistant walked into the row that he was seated in and asked him to repeat his comment. Covert did so after the assistant returned to the stairs leading to the field.
Covert said the coach was restrained by other staff members.
Covert couldn't identify the coach. Fellow UNT alumnus Paul Clark, seated in the same row as Covert, identified Flanigan as the coach involved.
Dickey said he didn't see the confrontation, and Flanigan declined to comment.
