There are only 120 D-1A jobs out there. Remember the list of guys who are out on the street right now who have histories of building programs that we could have hired tomorrow? Franchione, Bower, John L. Smith, Steve Logan, Chuck Amato, Jeff Jagodzinski... All those guys? None of them have been Head Coaches since, either.

No, they're very rude. Don't be immature, CMJ- Wait your turn.

Do it. I'll leer at you awkwardly while you drink KRAM's beer that Quoner bought you.

I took my retired father to the game since nobody else could make it. It was nice to see so many kids there... Thought I would have preferred to sit in my actual seats. It was good to see bstnsportsfan from start to finish; students sort of just trickled in as noon classes ended, but there were a few who were there for the duration.

Did Corky Nelson give out a tiara for Drama Queen at the annual awards banquet back in the day?

Here's a fun hypothetical for you: Suppose that next year we win 2 or 3 games decisively (10 or more points). We win two more on last second drives, two more on last minute drives that the other team fails to convert. We're .500 or 7-5. But we're only 4 plays away from being 2-10 or 3-9. Does the fact that we're just a few plays away from being 2-10 again work the same way as being "a few plays away" from 6 wins did this year? Or could it be that the whole "X Plays Away From _____" is a bullshit rationalization, not a legitimate reason?

That's the thing, though... It wasn't blackface, it was a hue adjustment. Don't think Ted Danson; think Nate Griffin on Family Guy.

He beat Texas Tech and Boise, twice. And had 3 more wins in the same amount of time. And only one of his eight was against a 1-AA. And he had NO first recruiting class, because he was hired after signing day. Which I only mention because Dodge's first recruiting class is often used as an excuse. All of it is irrelevant... Because are you really saying we ought to resign ourselves to a situation WORSE than Dickey's?

I want the record to note that, inspired by this post, I made an RV as Radio photoshop. After my girlfriend said it was inappropriate to change Rick's skin tone for the purposes of comedy art, I reluctantly agreed not to post it anywhere. But it was AWESOME. And, also for the record- Rick Villarreal looks pretty badass as a black man. If it were possible to change your race... I would strongly encourage him to consider it. Anyway... For anyone who thinks that there's no filter or boundary... You're wrong. As long as someone with a better sense of social propriety is looking over my shoulder, I can censor myself.

If anyone in the office used to be a Power Ranger, they should keep an eye out for the curly haired guy from My So Called Life. That Brian Krakow is BAD NEWS. Someone come revoke my man card.

I don't want to spoil anything for anyone... But I've seen this one before. RV will choose the blonde coach. Then later, RV will go to the salon and have them cut off all his beautiful, beautiful hair.

Please... Please... PLEASE. I hope he's serious about nobody getting fired. I hope he insists that everyone be retained. Unlike the tough talk about keeping Drake last year. Or the same stuff about not letting Mendoza go two years ago. Stay strong, Coach. Be a tough leader. Don't cave again. STAND YOUR GROUND and STICK UP FOR YOUR GUYS! By golly, it's your way or the highway!

He interviewed for a 1-AA HC job and got passed over last year, when his stock was even higher than it is today. If I hadn't seen him pursue that one, I wouldn't think he'd consider it, either.

For the serious thread... If this turns out to be the deal and we have to sweeten this piss into lemonade, I'd want Chris Thomsen, HC at Abilene Christian.

If Kevorkian is no good, I nominate Clayton Williams. He's got Texas roots, he could help with fundraising, and he's got the perfect marketing slogan for next year: Dodgeball 2010: Everyone may as well lay back and try to enjoy it!

Do you mean that it's the minimum for Dodge to earn year 5, or your prediction for our record? In either case... I hope you're right.

I am completely baffled by what's going on here. But another member of the North Texas family that I talked to last night says this reminds him of 2001, when a coach was fired and then un-fired.

Call the play. You have to call it. I can't call it for you.

Quoner and I will be in College Station for the A&M game, and I'll be in Houston with my girlfriend for the afternoon game with Rice... And then an evening of musical theater.

Just wait until next season. Another 10+ loss year, and the annual review might require Dodge to coach in a sun dress and bonnet with his sac tucked back between his legs. But we still wouldn't fire him.

Wow. You just topped Kevorkian for most morbid gallows humor response to this latest coaching rumor. Slow clap, with a shiver down my spine.

If Dodge is willing to try his offensive approach, I'm confident this team could be turned around quickly. Maybe even within half an hour.
