Cavalcade Of Whimsy - The Coaching Situations - Baylor & Todge

Both of those jobs would be a lot tougher than the North Texas job. It will be much easier for Dodge to compile a gaudy record at North Texas in the Sun Belt close to the talent that knows him best. 1.8 mil and a head coaching job at Baylor might be nice now, but North Texas winning would be a spring board to crazy money, loose women, and plentiful booze at UT later on.

I'm not sure where your skepticism comes from. According to Dodge in an interview earlier this year he had zero designs of ever being a college HC. It wasn't something he aspired to. The NT job was something of a "perfect storm" for him which is why he took it. I can see Dodge staying here quite some time. (And hope he does.)

I agree, a lot of the skeptics may feel like a young 20 something fella who sits at home, drinking, and feeling like his girlfriend is going out and cheating on him. This goes on for two...three....ten...twelve days then all of a sudden he sees her and KNOWS she's fooling around.

Dodge has too much work in progress to leave right now. I believe he's as excited as we are. There have been ups ( our offensive production at times ) and downs ( the WKU incident, the racial claims, defensive production at times ), but this guy's heart is in the game. He knew when he got here that it was not going to be a utopia ( like we think SLC was ). Give him some time, heck with a few bounces the other way we COULD be on the verge of 6 or maybe 7 wins.

He will, inevitably, leave us. But for now, We are the PERFECT storm. There will be plenty of opportunities when he decides to go.
