Good to have a former alum back and coaching. I was curious if anyone could confirm this...Was Clayton George one of Dodge's assistants when Dodge coached at Fossil Ridge High School? I was a student at the middle school when Dodge was coach at FR and remember the high school staff coming over to coach us for a few practices and want to say Coach George was one of the guys that was under his staff at FR. Thanks gents.

Seems like a good hire for TD and NT. What about some of the other SLC coaches? There was talk of several of those coaches to come over to the NT staff. Anyone have the scoop on any of those coaches and if they would be good.

Anyone concerned about the staff being comprised of so many HS coaches. A proven HC is one thing, but off. coord., def. coord., etc.???? Just curious what everyone else thought...

Probably Receivers, that's what he was when he was a player. Maybe RB's

He's also been a head coach at a 4-A & 5-A school. I tend to think that his official title will be OC.

For what's it worth I looked up in Dave Campbell's Magazine last year the Player's to Watch for Haltom High in 2006.

QB: Kyle McDonald ( 6-3 , 210 , 4.7 )

WR : Brent Kennard (6-2 , 175 , 4.6 )

WR : Jevon Edwards ( 6-3, 175 , 4.6 )

DB : Chris Jones ( 6-2 , 205 , 4.5 )

This Years Stats:

Kyle McDonald 189-342-11 2430 16

Brent Kennard 71 703 5

*Javon Edwards 48 688 4

*Believe it was his 1st year to play FB

I don't know if anyone is DI material , but I thought if they were maybe they or one of would be Coach George's 1st recruits. Haltom played in district 5-5A , which could be argued as the toughest district in the State.

The last line of this article is very interesting, "George has started contacting recruits for North Texas". Since Coach George has just left Haltom, how could he already have a list of recruits to contact now ? Looks like Coach Dodge has put together a list of targeted recruits, and has directed his first assisant coach to start contacting the recruits. I read this as a recruiting plan is

in place, with "targeted" recruits to go after. As each new assistant coach comes on board, they

will be also directed to recruit key players.

I wonder how many kids are on the list now? I bet the Mean Green Nation would be extremely

happy with the number, and the quality of players, that will be contacted.

I wonder if Coach Dodge will announce his commitments as the players come on board ?

I sure hope so!

No reason not to announce recruits...THIS coach has nothing to hide, and fears nothing or no one.

man, this is ex-ci-ting!

[SilverEagle]

Since TD is unable to officially recruit, I would think that he was unable to officially hire anyone as well. So, if Clayton George is on staff and recruiting, who hired him?

it's kinda like those draft day trades:

Clayton George hired by Todd Dodge through UNT

[untbowler]

I assume if he is recruiting then George already took the NCAA Rules and Regs test, if they still make coaches pass it before they are allowed to recruit.
