you can keep your pipe dream, Bower will not coach for 200k

Improvements this year from last, we are no longer getting blown out like we were last year(remember the Rice game?). A new coach would be a step back. With a new coach I guarantee we win no more than 1 game next year. With Todd Dodge, I guarantee we win at least 5.

I'm not exactly sure what he would have to do next year for me to want to make a change. What I do know is that if you had been in charge in 2001, there would not have been 4 straight conference championships sir. Todd Dodge needs to be here in 2010. Anything else would be a terrible mistake.

You guys really want to take this program back to 2006, don't you? If TD leaves, we will once again have to wait for a coach to implement his system, get his players, and all that other crap. If you want to win next year, you keep the current coach. If you want to win in 2013, go ahead and get yourself a new coach. I don't have the patience to go through that again.

In case you have forgotten Darrell Dickey was 8 and 30 and on the brink of losing his job when the conference winning streak started. Here is something else you might find interesting. Darrell Dickey took over a 4-7 Matt Simon team and went 3-8, 2-9, and 3-8 in his first 3 years. Todd Dodge took over a 3-9 Darrell Dickey team and went 2-10, 1-11, and 2-9 so far. That means both coaches took over a team from the previous coach, won 1 less game each of the first 2 years and gained a win in the 3 yr (TD still has a chance for an extra win). History should remind you that in DD's fourth year a pretty special time in our history started. I think history itself, our improvement over last year, and the high profile players we have slated for next year should be enough for Todd Dodge to coach the 2010 season. If we go 0-12 next year, you can beat me senseless.

I'm with you guys! Go Mean Green!

The answer to your question is that the QB who grew up in the offense has never competed against teams complete with D1 speed. This is only his first year trying to get the ball into those smaller windows available at the D1 level. He can only get better. We are better than last year, that is clear.

100% agree

I'm with you sir.

I'm with you. I want to see how we do with Big 12 talent going up for those jump balls we had today.

I'm still behind this team and our coach but some of our fans are beginning to get on my nerves.

I'm sick of the "experts" in the stands booing because the coach is making the logical decision to go for it. The ones that were happy he buckled under the pressure and went for the field goal need to first consider two words JEREMY KNOTT!!

June Jones vs. Todd Dodge SMU vs. UNT You get what you pay for. End of story. Until we get a Boone Pickens we are who we are. Dennis Green would say "they are who we thought they were" and I wouldn't disagree. Money makes the world go 'round and unfortunately UNT has a serious lack of it. D1 money that is. We need microsoft money, or Jerry Jone money or heck I'd even take iPhone money at this point.

So who will be our new qb when all this goes down? Nathan Tune, who has been cast aside as a failure? A redshirt freshman Thompson or a redshirt sophomore Baine? I wonder if Vizza and Dodge will shake hands when UT and ATM face off in 2010 or 2011.

I can't tell if you are using sarcasm or not. GMG poster would run the team our of th stadium. Im thinkiin 0-30 in that span. We wouldn't hold a candle realistically.

No, last year Gio was the qb and Riley was just a receiver. Despite that, many were calling for Riley to take Gio's job. This is Riley's first year starting at quarterback, Colt McCoy was often injured his redshirt freshman season too. He ended up bulking up and became a pretty damn good quarterback. Also, we did not have William Cole coming in from OSU or Tyler Stradford from OU.

Tell that to Bob Stoops and Brian Kelly.

How about we don't. Let him sit for awhile and get healthy. The kid is too talented to cast him off so early in his career. Let Tune finish out the season, give Riley spend the time bulking up and really getting healthy again so when Cole and Stradford are ready to play we have 3 Big XII players on our offense. I doubt SERIOUSLY that we could find someone to step in and lead this team any better in the near future. We are North Texas and at this point, Riley is the best we can do.

Yea, I must be bad luck for this team. I was watching the game, all the points left on the field because of penalties and turnovers thinking I was going to be pretty dang close. I left at halftime because I couldn't watch us get slaughtered by the muts for the fourth year in a row. I get halfway to Waco and it is 37-21. Lose first half 30-7 while I'm there, win second half 14-7, maybe I should stay home. I'm killing this team.

Same old song and dance Aerosmith

Maybe you forgot how early Bama let off the gas in that game. They could've scored 70+ if they wanted. MTSU wouldn't let up if they were up 15 tds.

42-10 MUTS over Scrappy

In fairness, going into the ULM game Newton wasn't even on the 3-deep. Without the injury bug, you would be watching the Fozzy and Vondrell show. A bit of luck is why Tre saw the field, not because these posters were necessarily wrong. The same thing could happen with Vizza down at ATM. If a couple qbs get banged up, there ya go. Can anyone honestly say before the season started that there was a snowball's chance we would see Tune start a game?

Sorry, I failed to mention that they maintain the same qb and coach but theat same qb was fighting injury this entire season and was even knocked out of our game. That didn't matter as they were still the victors.

My expectations have been low since the Ball State game. Everyone was so high on the program thinking we just beat a 12-0 Nate Davis led, Grady Hoke coached program with a veteran o-line. The truth is we beat a Ball State team coached by someone who hasn't been a head coach at any level since leading a 1988 Kansas State team to a 0-11 record, led by a redshirt freshman qb (not coached by his father running the same offense he has run his entire life), with a mostly freshman o-line, that can't beat a I-AA program. When we left points on the board against Ball State, I knew it would be a long season. I bit my tongue whil everyone was so high on the program. I bit my tongue again after sitting in the wet and cold through 4 quarters and 2 overtimes while we lost to a poor MAC program that went 4-8 last year. When this team can take finally score when it is in the redzone and tackle like a I-A team should, then I will jump on the bandwagon. Until then I will attend the games as usual but I won't be drinking the green koolaid.
