Breaking Todd Dodge News!

DeepGreen · February 2, 2022

Todd Dodge has been retained by Port Neches Groves ISD to help find a new head football coach for PNG. Former PNG head coach, Brian Faircloth, left to take on the HC job at another school. Additionally, Todd Dodge will stay on as a "mentor" to the yet to be named PNG coach.

HSO: I wouldn't mind bringing him into the role of QB coach in Denton, although I don't know if he'd be a fit under SL, personality or systematically.

Wait, nvm. We already filled that role.

Hmmmmmm. I sense this may not be a popular “Hall of Fame” thread.

Cause maybe some of us want to keep up with Mean Green coaching alum, and are glad to see Dodge enjoy success after he struggled during his stint here? Geez dude don't be salty.

I’d take Dodge as my QB coach no doubt but, I assume this is nothing more than news he still has a toe in football.

He owns the worst winning percentage in the HISTORY of North Texas football. Yes, whatever craptacular coach you just had pop into your head Dodge won less often than that guy.

And we were only 7-14-1 when Dodge was the QB/WR coach at UNT 1991 & 1992.

About $275k per year…for 5 years, of which he coaches 4.

Probably a little less but very close.

Looks like Dodge helped Port Neches-Groves. land a coach from Southlake Carroll. Jeff Joseph the new head football coach at PNG.

Rudy · February 17, 2022

Got to keep that Southlake pipeline open somehow. How else will they bring in transfers from high schools around the state?

I plan on putting my oldest in Dodge’s camp this summer. Say what you want about college coaching but he knows quarterbacks and that is what my son wants to be.

We keep up with our former coaches. Some of it’s boring like Steve Roberts being director of Arkansas Activities Association (governing body for high school sports in the state). Some of it wildly entertaining like Freeze’s time at Ole Miss and Harsin vs Auburn boosters. Odd ball was John Bobo who last I heard had taken a junior high PE teaching job to stay around his kid.

Thing I’ve found is that guys who get a crack at being FBS head coaches tend to be pretty exceptional dudes. They might not be cut out for running an FBS program but they tend to be interesting people who are well above the median person. Sort of neat seeing what they do after.
