The consensus was Dickey was fired because; 1. He got off to a really bad start and seemed fine with coaching bad games. 2. He wasn't winning OOC games. 3. He was overmatched in bowl games 4. He didn't capitalize on the team's momentum to upgrade his recruiting practices. 5. His coaching a boring style of play. 6. He wasn't nice to the fans/donors. 7. When the program began to stutter he seemed fine with coaching bad games. Dodge is the worst coach in school history and is about to be considered the worst coach in the nation after breaking a record for back-to-back seasons giving up 500+ points. At the same point in his career DD had 5 wins including an OOC win over Texas Tech.

We're on our way to history! We given up 486 points in ten games. Dodge and company are 14 points away from back to back 500+ point seasons. And for those who squawk about how there is now an extra game in the regular season, the team had given up 503 points through 11 games last season.

Your saying if someone offered you a million dollar raise you would pass on it? And as UNT fans shouldn't we be rooting for a coaching change at TCU?

The annual playoff discussion has taken off again on ESPN, so I thought I'd ask the board; Do you think a 8-team playoff would be good for the NCAA and schools like UNT?

So we better hurry up and get our name out there too.

He would be a great fit at UNT and our players could get him more than a pill.

We just chilled for 9 games between wins. And for Dozer. So your upset UNT doesn't have a million bucks for a "good" coach, who in the Sun Belt does?

D1/FBS teams should not be allowed to play d1aa/FCS teams. There are approximately 108 possible D1 out-of-conference opponents for each team, there no reason expand the pool to include the additional 125 d1aa/FCS teams. FCS teams are at an inherit disadvantage because of funding and scholarship limitations. The argument that there is no pre-season in college football and teams need tune-up games is easily dismissed when you note the number of FCS cupcakes scheduled after week two. The new parity at the top of the polls is going to have an impact weak OOC schedules. The SEC and Big 12 pollsters are going to sit around and let the national title game and BCS at-large bids go to "weaker" undefeated teams.

I don't know where to start with Dozer's last post? Fresno...Art Biles..Lanrdy...Princesses? I don't know what your smoking, but please keep it away from the players. But I will respond to what appears to be the argument the Old Guy is alluding to. Dozer: We don't have the money for a better coach. Shaft: 1. Empirically disproved by Dickey. 2. There are lots of D1 assistants that would love a head coaching job. Dozer: Who should be are next coach Shaft: The Board put a pretty good list together on the "Next Coach Discussion" thread. Dozer: The team is underfunded. Shaft: We're paying too much for 3-18. Dozer: Write a check Shaft: I've already stated in another thread that I'm with holding all my financial support for the University until the coaching situation is corrected.

Yawn. Wasn't I the first one the board to post a thread titled "I support Coach Dodge for testing the Players," I also don't remember posting anything negative about RV kid getting busted last year. So like I said, Dodge did the right thing to test them all. Dodge is doing the wrong thing to blame the players.

This from the guy wrapping himself in the Cowboys flag? I'm sorry your sick of the negative talk. I'm sick of the crappy coaching. If none of this matters (which it doesn't), then stop posting or even reading a college football message football. I'm sorry the discussion can't be all Rainbows and Kittens, because that's not what this team is right now.

I think Dodge did the right thing having the entire team tested for the reasons highlighting in the article, but I think it is weak of Dodge hint that the team's play hasn't been up to 'snuff because they were getting high.

Can someone tell me what good burring our heads in the sand does? How is overlooking obvious flaws taking "ownership" of the program. Why is my criticism of coach Dodge of less value than someone else's blind support? Dodge has done a horrible job has head coach, why is it so hard to accept that?

So when can we expect the good news about Dodge stepping down?

3-18. Two of those wins are against Western Kentucky, as d1aa/D1 transitional team. WKU a team we were projected to beat both seasons. Last year we beat them by 1. This year we beat them with a 4th quarter rally, after giving up 500+ yards. What exactly are we celebrating??? A loss this past weekend would have only fueled the cries for Dodge to be removed at the end of the season. This win is probably enough to let Dodge see year, three. But this win was nothing special.

Why does 1 win let the coaching staff off the hook? 3-18.

Save the spin for the election. The glass is not half full. Western Kentucky is in the second year of the two year d1aa/fcs D1/FBS transition. Stats and stories from before 1992 (the birth of modern college football with the advent of the 12 team SEC) don't matter.

Yawn. 4th quarter rally to beat a d1aa provisional team. I'm glad the team won. I'm amazed they won after giving up 500+ yards. But... I'm keeping the cork in my green champaign, till Dodge gets three wins.

I waiting for someone to complain about the color of pumpkin.

What is there to think about. Dodge owns the worst start in school history. Dodge owns the worst blowouts in school history. RV gets the credit for the stadium vote, not Dodge. Dodge is so bad has a coach he's having must wins games against d1aa transitional teams.

With Dodge at the helm, we've had anything but serious football.

I'm proud every time one of our guys get arrested. Calling 9-1-1 from the back of a cop car is classic. No One cares about thugs that win, they care about thugs to that loose. Just ask Simon about the VCRs.

Maybe if folks didn't delete our more entertaining threads...

It can only get better when we get a new coaching staff.

Year 1: pass Year 2: 3-9 Year 3: 6-6 Year 4: Bowl
