I am thinking that seven win thing as a "must" may have just been tossed with the QB change. I am now thinking 5 will do it...but 7 would certainly be nice as well...hey, how about UNT just runs the table? Yep, I like that idea....GO MEAN GREEN!

7 still must remail. If Dodge is 10-38 by season's end, I expect him to go. The bar needs to stay where it is.

That threshold of 7 wont change. The higher ups in the Athletic Department have faith in Derek Thompson and expect nothing less regardless of who's playing QB. Ultimately it all steers back to the head coach, and if he hasn't done a good job of recruiting and developing QB's to win 7 games, then that's definitely a strike in the book.

If this team goes 6-6 this year, after what we have seen the first three years of this thing, I doubt very seriously they fire Dodge. I have still have my doubts that they will be that good, but I just don't see how you remove a head guy after a 6-6 year after what occurred the previous 3 before.

Agree. RV wants to go into the new stadium with a winning team or a new coach.

You remove a 6-6 coach BECAUSE of what you've seen the previous three years. The gradual evolution of removing HS coaches, tweaking the offense, hiring qualified assistants, etc etc isn't to me a sign of growth but rather desperation moves as the "formula" failed. If these changes were made wholesale between years 1 and 2...or even 2 and 3 then I could see where we could point to this as a program that is learning/growing. As it is, this is a gift year and is absolutely make or break. Any more leniency and you're not being fair to your investors.

I would have made a change after last season. I don't disagree with you, I just don't see this AD removing a coach that wins 6 games, double what he did in the 3 previous (assuming they win 6). Hope you are right, because the chances of him turning this around are so small at this point....However, it will be mute point....I don't see them winning 6.

I don't care about the Spring game though.

      We need a jumbo package. Not sure why Morris can see it.

      I’m not saying I want him back as the HC, or even the OC…but can we let Dickey take over the offense ONLY once we are inside the red zone?

      Army is a good team

      I thought we played a good game against a better team. They are undefeated for a reason. We played hard. Win 3 to end the season and go into post season.

      Today We Were the Visitors on Our Home Field...

      The regular fans in our section were surrounded by Army fans, and they acted like the owned our stadium. DATCU had to be somewhere between 40-60% Army fans for this game. Unfortunately, our team didn't put them in their place. Morris made some very questionable calls, and Army's defense (comprised of 2-star talent we wouldn't even let walk-on at UNT), made a joke of our "high-powered" offense. The Army fans near us were annoying and mouthy. They even went so far as to call Mean Green fans "a bunch of vaginas", when many fled following our first endzone pick. By the end of the game, the entire event had become an embarrassment for North Texas. So what can we really take away from this game? The North Texas football program never answers the challenge when faced with a real opportunity to be something better, and sadly our leadership believes that is acceptable. Sure, we will back into a sh!tty bowl game (against a team from a conference we left). But we won't be anything more than we are right now. We will continue to be a visitor in our stadium every time a real program shows up.
