Hmm, Vito sounds as if he knows more than he's willing to write. Sounds like RV put it all on the table for Dodge. "This is the way it's going to be or you can resign" per Big Bad Mamma B.

Absolute BS! RV shouldn't have to tell Dodge what needs to be done or changed.

RV, get a college coach in Denton with some shingles on the wall and quit holding Dodge's hand like he's a momma's boy.

You are probably correct, on the "Its our way or the highway". Now if Dodge says no does he void his contract? I assume he may.

Whichever way this goes I believe it's poison to the program to have it drag it out. Let him stay, you lose the players who may have lost faith in his abilities and you fail to recruit. Don't let him go now, the new coach can't recruit and loses the opportunity to hit the ground running.

I don't know what to say right now. Honestly the majority of me says let Dodge stay one more year. Maybe it will be a miracle year and put us on the map. Maybe it won't be and we fall on our faces and we get a new coach we might can afford and open the new stadium with. Doesn't sound so bad but it will probably be worse than i make it sound. LOL

Canceling a team meeting certainly seems to indicate SOMEBODY was fired. But I have my doubts that it was Dodge...

It could indicate Dodge hadn't signed off on the "mandate of change" yet, if there was one. Maybe he needs to sleep on it? They would probably have a team meeting regardless of which way it goes, just to let the players in on the decision before they read about it in the media.

Whatever the decision, stay or go, it will affect recruiting. I doubt they extend Dodge's contract thus he'll be bidding for recruits with only a two year benchmark-ladden job security. If a new coach comes in, he gets a very late start and has to play guessing games about who comes back or not.

I bet Tuesday we know something.

AD's, not only RV, put conditions on coaches all of the time. If the coach chooses not to follow it gives the AD leverage to make future changes

We better. Letting this thing drag out is insane. If mandates were given to Dodge, why does he get time to decide whether or not he wnts to abide by them. They are mandates, right? That would imply you abide by them or don't come back. At this point, I think the trigger needs to be pulled and we need to start over.

With all due respect, Todd is 5-31 in three seasons at UNT. It would take a miracle of biblical proportions for him to turn this program around. He has proved he can't do it. Plus, there are just too many experienced college coaches available to not make a change at this point.

      What is this program missing?

      Their coach was previously at LSU and was pushed out for NCAA infractions. He is a good very good coach and recruits well so I personally am not troubled by this road loss.

      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.
