I don't think he was fully prepared to be a fbs head coach. He is an offensive and quarterback wizard, everyone knows that. The problem was he thought the high school directly to the college game and that isn't so. He learned very quickly that you can't outscheme fbs speed. He also learned that he needed to have a veteran college coach running things on the defensive side of the ball. I feel like we were poised for improvement in 2010 but the injury bug hit so hard that he never had a chance that season. You can look at the statistics and see that every year he mixed in more runs to help the defense out and it started working but it just didn't work quick enough.

Todd Dodge for Offensive Coordinator?

We could certainly do worse but I also think we could do better. Now Dodge for quarterback coach? I really don't think we could do better than that. (Don't worry, he'd never come here as just a qb coach)

Hell of an offensive coach, and QB coach.  I, too, would love to see a 30 for 30 that investigated his time under RV and a crappy administration.

Todd Dodge can coach as long as he’s coaching the best talent available.. There needs to be a UNT version 30 for 30 about what went wrong during his unt stint. 

FIFY.

 

Todd Dodge has never won as a head coach where for various cercumstances...he was not afforded a collection of All Star talent.  Not at Cameron, not at Newman,, not at Fossil Ridge, not at North Texas and not at Marble Falls.

Vanity of vanities, all is vanity. Todd Dodge was handed an outstanding opportunity at North Texas and pissed it away.

He exhibited no sense of urgency, was distracted by self promotion and Under Armour contracts, and quickly found himself in a hole from which he couldn't dig himself out.

In the meantime he flatlined our football program and deprived his only son of having a valuable collegiate experience.

All because of his own personal vanity.

      Pretty sure the auto bid is going to go away after 2026 anyway.

      Impressive ECU win

      I don’t think they were ever that valid except for top 15 teams. The New Years 6 Bowls were the only bowls that had history you average player at that time relished playing in. The bowl tie-ins are convoluted now. It used to be that if you won your conference or got second place you knew what bowl that level of accomplishment would send you. Now you don’t have a clue. Look at Army and Navy from our conference. Army should have gotten a more prestigious bowl and opponent than Navy. (Remember Bowls were assigned before the Army vs Navy game and Army is our conference champion).

      Would You Really Rather Talk NIL/Transfer Portal

      Definitely a HUGE part of it but lots of other programs that don’t win consistently have better game day participation by their students for on campus football games. It just a lack of vision by our university when it comes to athletics in general. The new stadium should have been more centrally located than Fouts or just built on top of it. I pushed back and others calling our students “weirdos in another thread. General it seems like the Adminstration doesn’t understand the harder you make it to get to games that we don’t win the fewer the amount of people/students will show up. If DATCU was across the street from the SuperPit or in the footprint of the old Fry Street area, I think you would see an average of 10% more students actually inside the stadiums. The Fry Street area would have been harder to acquire and building within the Fouts (and adjacent parking lot) footprint may have required borrowing another stadium for a year or two. But it would have been worth it in the long term and significant because it would be a symbol that athletics are an essential part of the experience they want to provide traditional on campus students. Winning helps but fixing the culture takes more than just that. And fixing the culture is the only way you can have a down season or two that doesn’t turn into 5 or 10 bad season.

      I am not excited at all about a NIL Scrimmage Bowl at SMU with people who didn't start this year and probably won't start next season either. Win, lose, or draw, it is a meaningless game.
