Here is the quote from RV:

"Coach Dodge, the president [Gretchen Bataille] and I will talk," Villarreal said. "It was a tough season. People want to look at the negatives, but there were a lot of positives. You look at the number of close losses, even today, where we fought back. There are a lot of good changes in this team. Coach Dodge, the president and I will formulate a plan and go from there."

Does not sound like a decision has been made to me.

Why the hell is RV playing these word games? Looks like Dodge is going to get reassigned somehow. It's funny how Dr.B's name is thrown in there, now. I wonder how far she's planted her boot up RV's re

Losing teams always seem to lose this way. Finding a way to lose is a staple of a losing team.

Villarreal declined to say if the school had decided if Dodge would return. Dodge declined to comment on his job status

Sounds to me like they may be giving Dodge some other options, I think it is pretty clear Todd won't be HC next year from what I have read and heard.

I do not know how many options you think he will have, but I feel pretty sure he will be the head coach or not a coach in any capacity on the UNT football team. He has been a head coach to long to take an assistant's position with the person who is replacing him. I would hope RV would not do that to him, he doesn't deserve that, and I would hope that he would get a new coach that is capable of hiring his own staff. I don't like the "Jerry Jones" model.

I'd like for him to take a position similar to what McWilliams took at Texas when he resigned as head coach to become president of an athletic alumni group. I think Dodge could be a great ambassador for North Texas; if he found a niche as a fundraiser, it could make a lot of these struggles more palatable.

You are going to lose a lot of support if he comes back as the head coach.

I totally disagree. The following year always brings a new found optimism.

Next year with some of the transfers and new recruits will bring the same.

Not sure the order of the OOC yet , but our 1st 2 home games should have good numbers no matter what happens ( K-State & Rice) If we lose both and we couple that with a blowout loss to Clemson to start the season , the crowd will be way down before we head into SunBelt play. A home win over Rice could go a long , long way. No matter who the coach , we should beat Rice

So funny to see anyone saying that we should beat anybody. Without major changes, we win 2 games next year...again.

Because the football program always suck at the end of the year, especially the last 3.

you can't just say the last three. attendance has been better than when dickey was here. his years were worse.....so....i guess you're reply doesn't work.

The man has been here three years. That is not enough time to get the job done. He needs at least one more year.

If they had more than 5 wins in 3 years, I might argue that, but folks this is the WORST we have ever had and the chances of him turning this around are horrible.

Gee, I thought we hired Dodge to get better. Guess not. Guess your right. Guess we settle for 2 wins again next year.

And we wonder why we continue to SUCK. So frustrating to see this line of thinking.

Has the President been involved with other coach evaluations at the end of the season?

Not that I've known unless it involves a lot of money, either a contract extension or contract termination, then the Prez gets involved. Whichever way it goes, I think we'll hear soon.

      Mensah Getting $8 Million NIL Deal

      You got it dumbass. Seriously, let’s look at the two situations without inserting race since you felt the need. Mensah is a RS Freshmen that entered the portal stating his price. He didn’t get a degree from Tulane and probably cleared out some basics while there. Mensah may be a great student and may live up to his last name, but his academic success was never mentioned just that he was entering the portal and here is his price Morris was at North Texas as a student that had already earned his degree, the reason he missed spring practice, and a dollar amount was never mentioned regarding his transfer/entering the portal. You chose to read it as a racial observation, not me. You were looking for something that wasn’t there nor considered when I made my comment. I was just adding in to another poster’s comments. Stupid financial decisions are not the result of race but thanks for. Inferring that. Watch the “30 for 30” episode titled “Broke” and it will reveal that it happens to all races. Thanks for being who you are though. I would be shocked if you replied differently.

      Portal players leaving

      I think the fact that he's playing in the bowl game shows 1) he just wants to play and 2) it just shows more of the drive and commitment that's gotten him to where he his. I'm not gonna' fault him for leaving if they aren't rewarding him with a scholarship and especially if it looks like he isn't going to be in the main rotation next year. That feels like "thanks for bailing us out, now go sit down."

      Too many "player-whisperers" these days telling kids what they should do next in their career. I'd like to see more data about players that left a program for NIL/more playing time on what the return on their investment was. If they had a do-over would they make different decisions or was it really the right move? Do players that change schools every year really have a loyalty to any of them when their playing days are over?

      Stop Blaming Athletes and the NCAA for Ruining College Football

      There is a lot of collateral damage in this Portal and NIL era. Fan-withdrawal because of PTSD associated with transferring key players will cause less emotional investment, and eventually less $$ investment in the program they follow. NIL donation requests, ticket surcharges, and pleas from ADs has displaced asking for donations for brick and mortar projects. Player buy-in to a coaching staff and program has been replaced with NIL buy-out of the players.
