Well, unless RV and the adm have a different idea, it looks as if Dodge is our coach next year. What stands out the most is that he has no plans in making changes to his coaching staff. Guess he is staring at his play sheet when the special teams are on the field. Well, I hope that Coach Drake can take a "How to Coach Special Teams 101" in the off season. Let the debate about next year begin. It will be a long off-season.

Shaft, I guess we will have to put off our cage match until next year.

I think at this time last year, Dodge was also saying he didn't plan to make any changes at Defensive Coordinator. I know several times during the season he said that, but after he evaluated the coaches after the season, he changed his mind. Coaches are evaluated after the season.

Glad to see TD is committed to year 3.....I'm sure NOT committed to TD being around for year 3......RV should get smart and go get Applewhite or someone else with ability to coach a college team because it sure isn't TD.....what more evidence do you need? This window of opportunity will soon be gone RV....don't waste it.

“We are not an explosive team,” Dodge said. “When we get our shots we have to try to get the big plays, but we don’t have that type of player in our offense right now. We are pretty good at ball control whether it be with the run or the controlled passing game.”

quote from Todd Dodge in the DRC.

There you go, a bit of honestly.

We do win times of possession most games, which is really awesome for my NCAA TOP Fantasy League. I got UNT and Navy and am totally owning the guy who picked Tech.

VideoEagle,

I would be willing to bet changing Defensive Coordinators was not his idea. I think that change was forced by RV. Just speculation, I have no insider info, but I would be willing to wager that it was not his idea.

1. everyone got all excited about coach Deloach......has that excitement subsided now??

2. last year everyone got on the firing of our DC.

3. has it occured that TD inherited a really.....really.....really bad team?

TD has recruited better than anyone since Coach OM. When you have so many frosh and soph playing, evidently, because they are better than the current Jr and Sr.....that should tell you something.

Rebuilding takes time and the coaches we have are very very good.

Tell that to FIU they are starting as many Fr. and RFr. as UNT but they are willing. Last year they won one game guess who????

I wish I could see the evidence that our coaches are very very good. I can pick out a handful of players that I am relatively pleased with, but I really don't see a single aspect of our program that I am positively impressed with. I'm just sitting and hoping that things somehow work out next year. We shall see.

I thought that was the hot rumor last year?? TD refused to change the DC but eventually got a little fire lit under his butt by someone above him to do something.

Just another perspective regarding the coaching staff, but do you think that since the season is still in full swing that Dodge did not want to start controversy (like last year with Mendoza in avoiding that he already knew RM would be gone) at this point? Makes a little sense doesn't it?

Hey nice avatar.

Now, we should hire the BEST offensive line coach in the country, even if it costs $1 million, who will build a line so dominating that it won't matter who the head coach or other players are.

If it costs a million, I hope he will take post dated check. :P

      EM is the qb whisperer

      I don't want to hear it? You, untjim, went on a rant about how Texas/Oklahoma didn't produce great linemen anymore because of the style of play at the high school level. You implied we could not have great defense anymore because of what the states produced. I then asked what the excuse was for two G5 schools in our state and your answers were in fact defense. I baited you into basically acknowledging those two schools are successfully finding players who make-up decent to good defenses with the same pool of high school players we are surrounded by. So again, what's their excuse? We've established their defenses are decent to good. Why can they do it but we can't?

      So sick of the crap this football program slings us

      We do alright with the North Texas chant sometimes, we just need to make it a staple and I think people will do it.

      State fans showed up because they rightfully expected to win in this game. If the AD thinks they're going to depend on people to show up just cause NT has a team there, they are dead wrong. There are a few, but there are many many more who will not show up when they don't think their team will win. There are too many obligations and opportunities to devote precious time and money watching a team lose.

      So sick of the crap this football program slings us

      After Morris and Sheffield transferred, how many here were actually expecting to win? Many of us were just hoping TXST didn't handle us like they did UTSA this year or Rice in last year's First Responder Bowl. Sure, it's the head coach's job to have his team ready to play and in position to win regardless of the adversity faced, but it's still incredible the performance Mestemaker had. Tonight was better than any game C. Morris has had since Memphis. Coastal Carolina lost their starting QB to the portal and got dog walked in their bowl game against UTSA in their own building. Yes, the loss increases our bowl futility streak to an active high, and it sucks to lose to an intrastate program in an inferior conference, but that shouldn't take away from Drew's game. The biggest disappointment to me was how badly we were outnumbered by TXST fans. We went from packing the lower level of the Cotton Bowl to being matched ON OUR OWN SIDE. Like our team, our fans also struggle to wear green. However, there should be optimism surrounding next season. Eric made a poor hire with his first DC obviously, but made the tough (but right) call in getting rid of him. Next year's presumed starter will be in his last year of eligibility, so no losing another 4000 yard passed before the bowl game. If we struggle to another 6/7-win season and bowl loss with next year's schedule, I think Eric's seat should be pretty hot again.
