"Neuheisel could use a lesson in defeat management. In 2007, North Texas lost a game at Oklahoma, 79-10, in part because Todd Dodge, the North Texas coach, kept passing the ball."

Nice. With 31 losses in 3 years, I can't think of another D1 coach who would be better suited to give a lesson in defeat management.

now, now....is the bottle 14% full or 86% empty.....maybe it is just how you look at it.

Maybe it is how I look at it, or maybe I just have too high of expectations, because according to poll done on this board in the last week, over 50% of the people are happy enough with the 5 wins and 31 losses to bring our coach back for a fourth year, regardless of what history has shown us.

Please stop with all the "one more year" BS. No. It has been bad and, although it can't get much worse, we should re-tool. Sure it will be bad next year with a new coach too. Let's do it. Let's get rid of TD and move on from this debacle. Please.

NOT happy with the record! Just think the man is making progress toward where we all want to be and I wouldn't pull the rug out from under him at this point. Next year is the "no excuses" , hardball year IMO.

My gut tells me that the pieces are in place and the stars are aligned for next season, and I would like to find out before we blow this thing up and start over.

I do!! Losing is the new winning. It's so much more fun to bitch and complain every week. What would we have to gripe about if we actually won a few games?

Is that what those in the Pro-Dodge camp are worried about???

I enjoyed the YouTube! We should have played that three years back when people were expecting a five-year rebuilding job to be finished in three years. I think we all over-indulged in the Kool-Aid and thought this could be fixed in three years. I'm not defending the man as much as I am the concept...things take longer than they do! We could get into that perpetually-rebuilding "DO-Loop".

Just my opinion.

who said it was a five year rebuilding job?

furthermore, with rebuilding you should see improvement with each year. And improvement where it counts! Not a 2 win, then 1 win, then 2 win seasons.

I couldn't tell you. Those of us in the "I just don't give a sh*t anymore camp" don't really associate with outsiders.

That camp sounds lame brah. Why don't you come on over to the "Still give a shoot but so tired of the Todge +/- discussion that you hide your despair behind failed attempts at humor camp." We're growing in number.

I can see a lot of variants on this; maybe if Dodge stayed, there could be a faction refusing to acknowledge it. Or conversely, if he left, there could be the Todd Dodge equivalent of an Elvis Impersonator camp.

It is lame, but we've got plenty of morphine and "medical" marijuana to ease the pain.

      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.
