SUMG’s post re: the pond being drained at the Radisson got me thinking.

In addition to raising money for a new stadium I hope we are raising money to pay our coaches more. Have any of you been to this site? - http://coacheshotseat.com/index.htm

This site details the salaries of every coach in the FBS. It shocking how low we are and how high some of our competitors are. Just look at what Baylor did this year hiring Broyles for 1.8 million. He was making 900K at Houston. His new salary of 1.8 will put Baylor in the top 15 of highest paying coaching gigs.

SMU is rumored to pay Bennett’s replacement in the range of 1.5. If so, we are going to be seriously under market.

I think Dodge is a good coach (defensive woes aside) but we are going to lose him his first good season regardless of our stadium situation unless we come up with some serious cash.

I know we need new stadium/facilities for recruiting, better home games etc but I just hope we’re working on the salary issue at the same time.

TD's offense scored 19 pts on a bad FIU defense. He's not going anywhere anytime soon. I like TD but he'd got a whole lot to learn about the college game as well as all the assistants.

One thing I've been wondering about is how much longer will UNT be making payments to Dickey? Once those cease, those funds would seem to be one source of increasing our coaches' salaries.

It is my understanding some how, the money to pay DD off was found.

We do need to be willing to increase the pay for assistant coaches if we want to stay competitive, but we are probably alright for the next year.

There was a lot of chatter on Baylorfans.com and even Ponyfans.com in favor of a Dodge hire. His team didn't do so well this year but I think other programs have taken notice of the offense numbers they put up and his ability to recruit. Also, I do think that we will get better as a team despite Mendoza.

Anyway, it's unlikely that Dodge will stay with us until he retires. Consequently, we're likely going to be bringing in a new coach some time in the next 4-7 years. If so, I think it’s important that we be able to pay that person competitively.

      Caponi fired

      I understand that his decisions to go for it on 4th down so much or not to kick FGs or play the field position game are bad decisions. Just playing Devil's advocate. Could it be that those decisions stem from a lack of confidence in the defense? It feels like he believes he has to score TDs on every possession to win because the defense will not stop anyone. So, that takes me back to he should have never kept Caponi after year one.

      Ladies at ACU

      I went to the game, again we started slow and accelerated in the second quarter outscoring ACU 27-12. We let them back in it and the lead got down to three points twice. But we went on a game-sealing 11-0 run to take a 66-52 lead as Lampkin took over. One of ACU's starting bigs went out late with an apparent back injury. She's from Bixby, Oklahoma, which is where I've gotten my only speeding ticket, so maybe she deserved it. As for the arena, it shares the same name as SMU's (Moody Coliseum) and looks like a carbon copy of TCU's (albeit half the size). Recently renovated and very nice. The ACU men hosted TXST shortly after. Which we could get some better men's/women's doubleheaders and on the weekend to help boost the ladies' attendance.

      Next week's ECU game is our last chance this season to sellout DATCU Stadium

      Will Caponi and the dunk tank make one last appearance at DATCU this weekend?

      Any word on if Caponi had to drive back to DFW?
