If we start off next year with a new coach, we are going to have a miserable time. It takes 3 years for a new coach to get off the ground. It will be horrible for recruiting to change right now. I actually saw progress last night, and I think we are going to win more games in the Belt than we lose. I say you stay with Dodge another year to see what happens with the new stadium and recruiting. Who knows Texas high school football better than TD? No one.

That is a keyword. He is not a college coach at this point in his life. In the words of the great Dan Hawkins....."ITS DIVISION 1 FOOTBALL! GO PLAY INTRAMURALS BROTHER!"

Yes, what would we do without all the 4 and 5 star recruits Coach Dodge has brought to this program...

I thought we beat this thought to death last year??? First year coaches can make a difference. Dodge chose to bring his high school staff and severely impede progress here. Enough's enough.

Then why isn't Dodge off the ground in his fourth year?

I'd love to have Todd back next year, because that would mean we'd likely be Sun Belt Champs this year. You have to draw a line somewhere. The line has been drawn and everyone, TD more than anyone, knows what the goal is. The bar isn't and hasn't been all that high these past 4 years and yet still, we have managed to continually defy expectations in the opposite direction we should be going.

No one knows this Falls expecations more than Todd Dodge himself--trust me, he will not go off the deep end if he loses his job with North Texas. Jeez......if not at UNT, the guy has pretty good skins on the wall to get a job somewhere else albeit might be Texas HS football so he can regain his sanity. UNT has not been the easiest of jobs for many before him. Look where most of their next jobs (save Fry & Moore) were after UNT dismissed them for further proof.

Of course, all this contingent on "IF" Todd Dodge loses his job--miracles have happened before but last night's loss at Fouts Field mean't Coach would need a bigger miracle this time around. Who knows what the SBC will do for the Coach Dodges' Mean Green, though. Because in 2001 we started 0 & 5 and then ran through the SBC like Jackson did Atlanta literally saved Coach Dickey's job in 2001. It was his 4'th year and we went 5 & 6 for you new readers and posters.

Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha! We could have TD back next year and still not be sbc champs!

Would that make you sleep better at night?

I sleep just fine at night.... Not sure what that has to do with anything. 7 wins is fine by me, as long as the requirement the next year is 8 wins. If Dodge is back next year, there's a high likelihood we'd be SBC champs and bowl eligible this year. I'm okay with that. If not, see you later TD.

I'm just saying that with the exception of some very stupid mistakes on special teams, I liked what I saw last night. The play-calling was aggressive and the team played well on both sides of the ball. Except for our QB being lost (that's a biggie)...I think we win a bunch of Belt games and Dodge should stay another year to see if he can make even more progress. Now, if we win 1-2 games this year, Dodge knows he's gone. I sat beside a Rice player's Dad last night from Lake Dallas. He said that his son was recruited heavily by Dodge. He said Dodge was by far the best coach, but his son chose Rice because of things like long bus rides in Belt games as opposed to getting to fly in CUSA (more money). I still believe that Dodge can get us there.

      Two more home games before students are back, then hopefully the athletic department is going all out to try to compete with last year's record-breaking numbers.

      Auburn warns of potential ticket price hike ahead of revenue-sharing model

      In traditional professional football, when teams pay players and have a losing season, the teams still make $$$ and turn a profit. Thus they can afford to continue to pay players. In today’s college football, when boosters pay players NIL and the team has a losing season, the boosters lose money AND they don’t get to experience the joy of being associated with a winner. Will those boosters keep donating NIL? Do you have to find new boosters? Don’t you eventually run out of boosters? Just don’t see how this NIL model is sustainable. Rich people didn’t get rich by losing money and I don’t see how you can keep asking them to do that via NIL. The revenue sharing model WILL work and it will be interesting to see what percentage of revenue is ultimately allocated to labor. The NBA gives 51% of gross revenue to players. The other major professional leagues give less. But why would colleges give players anything close to that? College players are infinitely replaceable. People root for their school and as a consequence of that, root for the players competing for that school. But if the Top 100 players in college football disappeared overnight, would the popularity of the sport suffer at all? I don’t think it would. Offer the players minimum wage, make them sign binding contracts with buyouts and non-competes (assuming you can still enforce those: that is another rabbit hole). NIL will still exist but won’t be as big of a deal because of the contracts and buyouts. If a players thinks he is too good for this system, they can start their own football league or wait until they are eligible for the NFL. Why wouldn’t this work?

      I don’t know how much they care. It’s like monopoly money. Many of them are just borrowing from Uncle Sam and hoping they don’t have to pay it back.

      SMUt getting owned by State

      Did you believe Alabama would be uncompetitive vs Oklahoma? What about OSU vs Tennessee? Did you think TCU would get absolutely nuked by Georgia a few heads ago AFTER beating #4. Michigan? Blowouts happen every year in we den the 4 team playoff. They mean little.
