He favored a few? You mean Meager wasn't just making the right reads????

Oh contrare. The defense will probably play more if NT can score out of the spread like Hawaii does.

I agree with you 100%. Coop is the only legit sports guy on 103.3. A walking sports almanac with very "solid" opinions that he can back up. I prefer ESPN radio over the Ticket just because it's a real sports station. The Ticket is too silly for my tastes, even though Galloway & the Cowboy homer Jennifer Engel have taken 103.3 to near Ticket status. All they lack are fart jokes & Sopranos talk bull crap.

Wow, this would be a helluva pickup. I never imagined such a quick impact being made by this hire. I'm anxious to see how recruiting turns out this year!!!

I have dreams every night of that 60yd run El Pesidente pulled off against SMUt . He saw a crease and hit it like a bat out of hell. Cutting across the field and hit the front pylon at the corner of the endzone. Hopefully, Dodge will find ways to use that.

Um no. First of all, his son is a decent prospect, but not the all world player you make him out to be. Second of all, I think if he came to UNT it would make Dodge look bad. If his son is a marginal D1 pospect he shouldn't be playing at UNT, period. Besides, would you want to go to a university where you dad is coaching at? The young man may want to get out from under his father.

A yo-yo with a complimentary trip to the moon.

You've lost all credibility without the Hasselhoff speedo avatar. And for the record I said a "poorman's" Steve Slaton & Pat White. Never mentioned Vince Young.

Jamario is the best offensive talent on this team. Dodge is a good coach and will find a way to taylor the offense to use him. He's the only "proven" offensive player to return. Nothing but question marks at every skill position.

Oklahoma runs teh spread option which definitely uses the run. I can see that being utilized with Jamario. Dodge would be an idiot not to use his best offensive player. Good coaches adjust gameplan and offenses to personel. I suspect Dodge knows what he has on offense and will ride Jmo's back this next season. I know I would, it's the safest & smartest thing to do. Can you imagine the spread option with WW & Jmo? It has potential to be a poorman's version of Steve Slaton & Pat White.

4 years. His recruiting class would be Jr's & Sr's by then. More than enough time to prove his coaching ability.

The Claw, Would you please post a full isze pic of your Avatar? I love the pic! I'd like to get some shirts made with that image.

On a 3 year deal it would total $528K, which is over the limit. Is that DD's base salary or does that include incentives? Is it justifiable to pay Dodge a salary equal to a div 1 coach with 9 years of head coaching experience? And let me finish by saying that I'm in no way shape or form a DD fan. Just stating fact regarding what the NT head coaching position paid based on experience. That's why I think Dodge probably will not be the head coach. And yes, I'm just spouting off with absolutely no credibility. However, I stand by my opinion. So vote Got5onIt in 2008!!!

I really don't think Todd Dodge will be the head coach. Just look at the issues with the BOR & salary. Dodge would not command a 3 year salary totaling over $500k a year. It seems as if NT is preparing to pay out that kind of money. RV has something up his sleeve non of us know anything about.

Sick of waiting for an announcement!!!!!!!

Welcome aboard!!!

I would say if he goes to the combine, he'll probably be a 2nd day pick in the 6th or 7th round. That's IF he got an invite and I'm also assuming he'll perform well in drills. No combine invite and I think he'll be an UFA. Either way, I fully expect to see him on a NFL roster come training camp.

Yeah, I'm in the same boat as you. I don't recognize the name. I thought Lee Jackson was the Provost and head of academic affairs??

Woopsie, slight oversite. Move the MWC up to Autobid with the Sunbelt, MAC, WAC, & CUSA left to play for 2 autobids. Sort of like the "Play-In" game the NCAA Hoops tourney uses for the 64th spot.

I agree with you 100%. Unless he's been tabbed the new coach, there should be no reason to wait.

In a sense, yes it would be. However, if a playoff did come into effect, I can gaurantee you conference shuffling would take place to allow for a title game.

Here's my opinion on what would work: There's almost a month between the end of the season and the 1st bowl game. Each college team is allowed 1 bye week as well. They can do away with the bye or force all teams to start the season on the same date. Week 1 in college football only has 10 or so teams playing every year. 16-Team playoff Cut the season to a mandatory 11 games. Force EVERY conference to hold a title game. These Conference Champs get automatic bids: SEC, PAC10, ACC, Big10, Big12, & Big East. These Conference Champs play it out for 2 Auto Bids: SunBelt vs MWC WAC vs MAC Remaining 8 positions determined through a system similar to the BCS. From opening day, to conference title week, to National Championship, the entire college season should take 17 weeks. That would put the season within the same time frame the current system uses. The only difference is there is no layover from the end of the season to the 1st bowl game on mid December. Just think of the potential money to be made from a playoff. Millions of dollars per game which can then be shared by conference mates. If the money is big enough, which I'm certain it will be, everyone benefits.

Once the other AD's see their school wallow at the middle of the pack or lower for a few seasons, they will jump all over a playoff. I'm sure Miami will follow Florida St., etc...

School Prestige & Location are the biggest factors. Pitching to a recruit in Texas the line that they'll get to play for Todd Dodge holds little weight, IMO. Todd Dodge isn't the football god many make him out to be. He's a damn good coach, but why would a kid out of Houston give a rats a$$ about him? Especially, one of this caliber when BCS conference schools are knocking on his door.

Woo Hoo!! I can definitely see Harbaugh roaming our sidelines!!
