@FirefightnRick, did you see TAMU-C won the D2 national championship? I know you were always real high on the Carthel’s.

Ideal replacement for Littrell if he leaves IMO. Similar offense, and clearly been a winner for a while.

Yessir I did.  Commerce was what, 1-11 before they got there?  

Either father or son would have been a great hire instead of Dodge.  Those guys know their business.

I would think the next step for a D2 coach would be FCS HC or maybe an FBS coordinator.

Had to listen to the wife....her degrees are from there...after watching the NO Bowl watched the Lions beat West Fla.

It was a good game. Father wanted me to go there. If I would have listened, I could buy a sweet D2 championship shirt right now. So it goes...

If we had hired Don Carthel instead of Dodge, he would have run (pretty much) the same offense. But Don Carthel would have provided the added bonus of being willing (and able) to go to every organization in Denton and talk up NT football. 

The guy was out of coaching for 15 years and then went in to WTAMU and had them 10-1 his first year.

Around the time that Dodge was hired, I sent Coach Carthel an e-mail and asked him if anyone from NT had contacted him about the job opening. His only response "I would love to hear from NT about the job".

I thought I read that Carthel got WTAM on probation for paying benefits to players? If that is true, he will never be a head coach at UNT...we will never get close to the line on that kind of situation.

That was the father, not the son.  The younger Carthel won the D2 championship.

He was talking to the people who were reminiscing about daddy Carthel being hired instead of Dodge.

He used the future tense - "I thought I read that Carthel got WTAM on probation for paying benefits to players? If that is true, he will never be a head coach at UNT...we will never get close to the line on that kind of situation."  I assumed he was referring to the subject of the thread.
