Not sure why some found this poll confusing. I went with 3. 6 would be unattainable, unless every Sun team is over rated. 4 or 5, that I think we can reach if win the first 2 games of the season. If we go 1-1, 3 wins max.

I'm not sure about wins, but if we score less than 18 points per game, can we trade the dodge clunker in and all get a $4,500 government voucher?

Actually, I think two wins and several "competitive" games gets Dodge back for year four....in fact, RV basically said as much already. Hopefully, we'll win 6+ this year and it will be a moot point.

Only on a message board that allows its posters to do so anonymously do you get this stuff.

I can't recall any other source that has said Dodge's job is in jeopardy, regardless of the number of wins.

That said, I will bet anyone here $100 that Dodge will coach NT next year. I will donate all my winnings (if we don't get to 10 that will accept the bet, I will round it up to $1000) to the stadium fund if those that win my money will do the same.

But, GMG.

If I had to pick a number I would say 5, but our competitiveness in games will be a major factor as well. If we win 5, and get blown out in 7, I think he's gone. But if we win 3-4 but remain competitive in all except Alabama, he will probably be back.

So if Todge were to get the axe, would Riley pack his bags? What if Riley has an amazing year that isn't reflected in the W column. There are too many variables to make a prediction based only on wins and loses. IMHO

IF we were to go winless, I doubt very seriously he would be back.

I believe it will take some demonstration of progress. 3 wins would definitely be progress, but otherwise I think the rumblings for change are going to get louder in a lot of areas, particularly the ones that matter.

      I hope we lose to Temple

      Not sure everyone is understanding of college football landscape. Miami paid a transfer DL $250,000 AND THE DUDE DOESN'T PLAY, He is a back up (insurance policy if you will.) I totally understand on not wanting to throw money at players but the reality is if you can pay, kids will join. If not, you're relying on finding kids who don't care about money (GOOD LUCK) and just want to compete and win football games. On our current roster 4 players from Littrell era contributed to wins this season. Jordan Brown, Damon Ward, Jett Duncan, and Rod Brown. We played 10 games with a very sub par DC. We did not pursue the portal near hard enough to help fill holes in the defensive scheme. IMO at our level we should be a 4 down front with the ability to hop in and out of 3 down when needed in favorable down and distances. 46 players on the current roster are Jr or Sr. The vast majority of this roster are So, RS Fr, and the biggest group being true Freshman. You don't win a bunch of games at any level with a bunch of true freshman. The fact we've been in them to compete has been a miracle (No I am not happy we aren't pulling them out or winning.) The young and transfer talent they have brought in is encouraging to me personally. Should we play better, should we be making more plays, ABSOLUTELY. However, coach can't catch the ball for guys, coach can't catch wide open TD's for guys. Coach can't magically make a walk on WR/ ST guy into a bonafide D1 RB. Our scholarship RB's have been banged up like crazy and we have relied on a walk on, and 2 True Freshman RB. I think we go to Temple, play very well and get into a bowl game and then its on. Coach lost our most productive OL in pregame to a freak injury...... PREGAME. Sometimes the ball doesn't bounce your way. Is he perfect? no, but to call for the staff and his job is silly in year 2. The guy did a total rebuild last year and had us IN games with a completely rebuilt roster. He needs to make the right DC hire in the offseason. My pick is La Tech current DC. We will see what happens.

      What is this program missing?

      We need an offensive coach who puts the defense first. All the teams mentioned (Boise, Tcu, Cincy, UCF) had badass defenses paired with high flying offenses. You CAN still play fundamentally sound defensive football but you can’t pair it with an offense that kids don’t want to play in (what doomed Mac). I actually think DD in 2024 would do both. So the answer is find the next Darrell Dickey. HFC is tricky to hire. He’s got to be someone that can recruit assistants, first and foremost. Dickey had been around a long time and came from a football family (his Dad was KSU HFC) so he had ties everywhere. With a young coach you are betting that he, himself, is going to win games and account for a lack of a deep staff…or that other coaches see him as someone on the rise that they ride the ladder with. That’s what Littrell initially brought and his first staff was tremendous. Then as they started taking promotions he couldn’t replace them. I don’t know this for sure, but Morris doesn’t seem able to bring in enough experienced coaches, yet. His first staff was extremely underwhelming from a resume standpoint. All the doom and gloom in this thread is tiring. UNT still funds the football program at a level that is competitive with the top of the g5. Maybe we need to bring up NIL, but overall, we’re not nearly as far off as some people would have you believe.

      Flyover?

      I heard it was a mispelling, it read elph, it was supposed to say help, so turned around.

      WBB at Houston (11/24/24)

      Let's see if @Cougar King shows up here after our ladies completely dismantle Houston in their own house. Mean Green win 69-53. Light the tower green. I loved when Van Chancellor said he would give the Top Dawg belt to Wooten and the hustle belt to Deck of North Texas and he would give the hustle belt for Houston to their player Love, but you don't give a belt to losers. Hahaha.
