The most embarrasing thing I have ever heard about the Mean Green in the media occured this past Saturday night. I was watching Sportscenter recap the crazy college football games of the day and the UNT/Navy game popped up, I wasn't embarrassed by the score or loss, but by what coach Paul Johnson said about the NT after game. " The North Texas football squad put up 62 points against us and they still couldn't win the game". WOW.....

Also there is also today's DRC sports headline. "UNT defense is the worst and it's not even close": "Oklahoma hung 79 points on the Mean Green. Arkansas bashed UNT for 66, and now Navy goes off for 74. And don’t forget, the Midshipmen kneeled on the ball at the end of the night at UNT’s 11-yard line to kill the clock". Whoa

If Todd Dodge doesn't make adjustment's in the Defensive coaching staff at year's end, I will lose all respect for him as a coach here at UNT.

I hope that Coach Dodge realizes that in Division I College Football, you should always put your team first above any friendships or partnerships that you might have with your assistants.

You don't think Coach Dodge puts his team first? How could you even question that?

I am sure at the time of his hire, he felt that Coach Mendoza was his best bet as a DC and would take a chance on him. I mean, the guy didn't have all year to put a staff together...we all know that.

If we go into the 2008 season with Ron Mendoza at DC...I think the question could be raised.

No Dodge puts Dodge first. He is the HEAD COACH not the OC. He should be helping Mendoza not keeping him from the press. Dodge just wants to sit back a say "look what I have done" not work for the team.....

I could not agree more. No way Dodge is dumb enough to bring back a man who's defense is giving up more points a game than the basketball team gives up!

My youngest son is 39 I don't think he would be playing football now he did but he is a little old today

Look, dude, you're obviously not a cultist. If you disagree with our poor defense, the cultists brand you in some fashion. Because their worldview is so small, the only two coaches they can comprehend are Darrell Dickey and Todd Dodge. If you don't agree with 100% of everything Todd Dodge does, you are in their eyes a Darrell Dickey freak. Their world really is that small.

In your case, they've revealed a new and ingenious level of stupidity. By recognizing a problem with the defense and wanting Dodge to do something more about it, you are accused of having a benched son. Amazing.

Jim Jones and David Koresh would have loved to have the followers Todd Dodge has here.

---Koresh's followers had a choice, they could have walked away..... we really can't... we are alums of North Texas.... I can't walk away for who I am and claim to be a UT or whatever alum.. The only thing we can do is get rid of whoever is positions of power... patience..... this is only Dodge's first year... he will fix things...or be gone in 3-4 years... he knows that. Lots of new coaches don't do all that well their first year... Jimmy Johnson won one game during his transition year.. then in a short time won three Super Bowls... patience.. we may not be that successful but things will improve.

---He has fixed the one thing everyone complained about last year--- a dull offense --- he knows he has a problem and will work on the defense that has deteriorated to even a lower level that before he came.... expect changes....

TxTech has a similiar problem and fired the defensive co-ordinator during mid-season...(Dodge hasn't). He may not have any other good options or feels it is more a player problem... who knows. Tech too gives up too many points.

It has nothing to do with being a cultist. It has everything to do with challenging unsubstantiated and misleading claims, such as saying, "Dodge puts Dodge first," or such as branding everyone with whom you disagree a "cultist."

He actually resigned. In fact, if I remember correctly, I believe he resigned the next day after his defense played so poorly.

      If I was Coach Hodge, I would have this blown up and posted in the locker room. I would tell the players that this is what people think of you and we need to go out and dominate every team defensively until people start putting some respect on our name. Then when people do start to put some respect on our name, we need to dominate teams some more to leave no doubt.

      Some are arguing on their board about who's better between Yale and UNT. They really can't get past the UNT loss. I really want to get poporn and make an account just to let them know we've finished higher than MN in NET every year since 2020.

      Caponi fired

      I think this is a cop-out. He’s been doing this crap since the beginning of his tenure. The first memorable time was against Navy last year on the first drive of the game from the 1. If in the 5th game of year 1 he was already feeling like he needed to score every drive because of the defense, that's an even bigger problem. I think not having a reliable kicker or punter is the main problem. He went for the points a few times early this season and it didn't work out. Same with some punts that just don't do a good job at flipping the field. I've mentioned in other threads that special teams has also been a problem. Evans is 89th in the country in average punt yardage. We have to have a short kicker and a long kicker. Who the eff does that at this level? That's two coordinators that Morris flopped out on. I'm just waiting on us to move on from Svobada at season's end. Was looking over his profile and I didn't know but he also has Tight Ends this year. Where have the Tight Ends been lately??
