Question About Dodge

[untStein]

I apologize if this has already been addressed. Is Coach Dodge going to do a radio show like the one Dickey did or is it too early to know that?

Dodge's UNT deal worth $265K

DENTON – Todd Dodge signed a five-year contract with North Texas on Tuesday that includes a base salary of $185,000 and incentives that could push his annual compensation past $265,000.

The Southlake Carroll coach was introduced Tuesday as the Mean Green's 16th coach. The deal, which begins Dec. 26, runs through the 2011 season.

Dodge will take over at UNT after he finishes the Carroll season. The Dragons face Allen in the Class 5A Division I semifinals on Saturday at Texas Stadium.

Dodge's salary for the 2005-06 school year at Carroll was $90,101.

At UNT, Dodge will receive a $30,000 radio stipend, a $25,000 payment for maintaining membership in the NCAA and the Sun Belt Conference and a $20,000 bonus for completing each season.

Dodge also will receive a $6,000 car allowance.

The contract also includes a bonus for the number of season tickets UNT sells. Dodge will receive $5,000 if the school sells between 5,000-7,499 season tickets. The total doubles if it sells 7,500. An additional $10,000 would be added if UNT sells 10,000 tickets.

Dodge would also receive $25,000 for winning the Sun Belt title and playing in a bowl game.

The contract includes a clause that would protect UNT if Dodge were hired away by another program. Dodge would have to pay UNT an amount equal to one year's base salary if he leaves before the end of the contract on Aug. 31, 2012.

Former UNT head coach Darrell Dickey who was fired Nov. 8 was paid a base salary of $187,425 plus incentives last season.

Hmmm...wonder how much he'd get if we got invited to CUSA???

[UNTStill]

How many season tickets were sold last year? What is the realistic number for next season?

[DeepGreen]

I cannot believe North Texas does not furnish Todd Dodge an automobile. All we give him is $500 a month gas and maintenance??? Rediculous.

[Green to the Bone]

He also gets the use of a car. The car allowance is on top of that. It's a standard deal. DD had the same deal. In fact, DD's terms were the same as TD's except for the base salary.

I post by the seat of my pants and you come to me with facts. That is so unfair.

I think to answer your question Stein, Dodge will likely be on Mean Green Insider during football season. It is also very likely that he will be on the next edition of the show which will premiere tomorrow on NTTV and on meangreensports.com

I think that the response to MGI has been positive, so I don't forsee athletics bringing back a coach's radio show anytime soon.

It was Reagan who once said, "Facts are stupid things."

At least I think it was Reagan.
