Where Does The Buck Stop?

[Green Dozer]

I realize the special teams, and specifically Robert Drake have been a debacle since Dodge has arrived. However, the buck stops with the head coach, and right now he is the one who should be held responsible for the performance of this football team. Dickey has been gone to long to blame him or his recruits. The offense cannot run their routes or get their timing down, don't know their blocking schemes, quarterback does not have time to throw, it goes on and on. The defense, BOTTOM LINE, cannot tackle. And the special teams is certainly not special.

The head coach is responsible overall for the team, and now his performance is not acceptable. I am starting to believe that Todd Dodge is way over his head, and it is ashamed. I thought when he was hired, we got the best bang for our buck. I thought we had an up and coming coach to take this program to the next level. Even though he was 24-35 (not even .500) before he went to Carroll, and Carroll was already an established program. So, its not like he built that program from the ground up. That said, I just don't see how he is going to get North Texas back on track. You would think, and I think many did, that with 4 conference championships to go we were knocking on the door. Now, we are sitting out on the curb. When this season is over, he will have only 2 wins his first two years. How is he going to continue to recruit with that record? What can we expect next year? Well, it will have to be one hell of a turn around to make any difference. 5 wins would be a great improvement. So, that is 7 wins in 3 years. Now you are recruiting kids who don't know who Dodge is because when he was coach at Carrol, they were in 6th or 7th grade. The shine will have worn off, and if recruits don't recognize it, you can bet rival coaches will let them know. We can have the new stadium, but it can't play offense, defense, or special teams.

I am a member of the Mean Green Club, have season tickets, have a UNT license plate, and you damn right I have a right to my opinion.

They say alcoholics can't make a serious lifestyle change until they've hit absolute rock bottom. Maybe we can finally start our 12-step program now.

True...I want a beer so badly..

GREATNESS! IF WE HAVE NOT HIT BOTTOM, WE CAN SURE AS HECK SEE IT.

I honestly can't see it getting any worse this season. We might lose to Troy or Ark. State by 40, or ULL or MTSU by 35...but 77-20 to Rice...who is a team we are SUPPOSED to be competing fairly evenly with, is the lowest point I've seen as a Mean Green fan.

Well if this week wasn't rock bottom (losing to Rice by 57 has to be close) then next week might be it.

I blame the cheerleaders for not trying hard enough.

Of course the buck stops with the head coach. Did we really need a thread about this?

[NM Green]

I joked at the tailgate before the embarrassment that nothing is ever easy at UNT. I think that is why I am so damn strong!

Here we are on the cusp of getting our future shrine approved and then this! You know losses to OU and LSU like this sting - losses like this to rice sabotage our efforts.

Again nothing is ever easy at North Texas.

Perhaps you did not see my sign off, I have right to express my opinion. FWIW, many times I have wondered about the need for your needless threads!

I dunno. I've found the multiple choice scantron tests pretty easy so far.
