Why are you all so sure he is gone? Do some have insight into the program at a

higher level? I would like to know your thoughts.

In fairness, I read the posts on this thread and while some have been slanderous to Dodge, none have said that he is gone. Some think that the decision has been made but they are not saying what it is, only that it should be announced soon. The main advantage is that recruits will know who the coach is to be next year.

However, if there is a coaching change (and I'm not saying there will be) it seems to me that it would be best to wait until a new coach is hired and the recruits will know whether they want to change their committments or not.

I don't think that's possible. A FBS head coaching search is pretty highly publicized. Besides, already all the players know the rumors, and they will ask for and they deserve a definite answer.

Also, the job has to be open for 30 days by Texas law.

I'm also MGC coordinator. If you're not a member it's because you haven't called me or we haven't met.

I waited 4 months for a call back. All I wanted was an update. F U MGC coordinator

I wasn't implying that his dismissal is a sure deal...I'm just hoping that an announcement is made to clarify one way or the other within the next 7 days.

the decision will be made monday. if the president is involved, i would anticipate a coaching change. this is not a altogether a won/loss decision, as td was handed a bucket of mud regarding academics,discipline, as well as a late start in recruiting his 1st year. in addition, the new stadium promised him when hired was several years behind schedule. my biggest complaint is that he put loyalty to his hs assistants above the university who hired him. however, we must bear some of the responsibility for allowing him to bring his entire hs staff with him. the situation reminds me of when i fired a salesman who was popular with his customers even though they wouldn't buy from him. all i did was piss them off, which may happen with area/state hs coaches. could be a no win situation for rv.

Well, assuming that there is going to be a "change", then it needs to be no later than Monday. "Texas Law" is going to screw any new coach (assuming there is one) out of 30 days of recruiting.

If there isn't going to be a coaching change (Head coach anyway) then the evaluation meeting needs to take place this week.....early this week.

Actually, one year behind schedule, which, in this economy, is really a miracle. Dodge was quoted shortly after being hired that he expected a new stadium in 2010.

He knew the situation he was coming into, and he chose to bring an unproven staff. It was very noble of him, but in the end cost him his job.

I don't understand this whole loyalty from other high school coaches??? Are we talking SLC, the Woodlands, who?? Other than his personal friends, I doubt most high school coaches in Texas could give 2 rat turds about Dodge & his situation. His abysmal record and head first face plant of this program into the ground is doing more harm for recruiting than any positions of loyalty from a few random coaches.

      Keebler has to go!

      Agreed. I would only do it again for a huge name that would excite the fan base, but make the contract heavily based on incentives over guaranteed money. For the Morris-type hires, three years with triggers to extend the contract automatically, like a conference championship buys the coach an extra year with a slight raise. Otherwise it is an annual discussion and negotiation.

      IF we have to keep Morris 🤢

      I would have already fired Morris but if he stays it needs to be with several conditions. 1) hand over play calling duties to an OC, either bringing in someone or elevating Davis or Cobbs to the position. (I think Davis already has the title but we know it is meaningless). 2) bring in a new ST coach 3) replace the strength and conditioning staff. Too many injuries this season and the team is gassed by the end of the game and getting steamrolled. 4) new DC needs to run a system that can stop the run and must be able to adapt throughout the season to account for opponents and personnel losses. And all of the above needs to be overseen by the AD’s office. And no contracts for more than one year. Obviously this means replacing most of the staff, which at its core means we should really fire Morris and bring in an experienced HC who already knows how to build a staff. But if we are being cheap, at least the assistants don’t require buy outs. I would also like to see the AD renegotiate Morris’ contract to reduce the base salary/buyout and increase the incentives for accomplishments, including bowl wins and championships.

      Eric Morris needs to go

      I am torn on what to do with EM, but I know he needs to go. Many say we need a HC with head coaching experience at the FBS level. I know there are HCs at other FBS programs doing more with less, but would they come to a place where historically it's difficult to win consistently and risk it all if their eye is ultimately on a power conference job? Then if you take a P4 conference former HC, they have most likely been fired and they may not get the mojo back like Tom Herman at FAU or Charlie Strong. So, if that is the case where do we go? Many are saying no FCS HC or no more coordinators who have not been a HC at this level. Again where do we go if not those type of guys? My thought is that you may have to hire that guy that this board has been reluctant to go after. That's the guys who have had issues somewhere else and that's why they are no longer where they are. Lane Kiffin had issues and FAU gave him the chance to resurrect his career. Alabama gave Sarkisian (spelling) a chance to resurrect his career and he is doing good things at Texas. We have tried a lot of things, but we have not tried that route of HCs with some skeletons in their past. I feel that if that coach wins, people will forget about their past. I am sure people at Texas have forgotten about what went down with Sark at USC. Just my opinion because we have been striking out for a long time on HCs.

      In case you’re a Yeti collector

      YETI has a collegiate collection. I didn't get a chance to snag one of the above, so I'm hoping that UNT will become available on their website. Eventually?
