My guess is after the 7th loss (read WKY)

That's my guess as well.

After watching this game and the apathy from the team and the fans, and with a bye week, I say Monday.

He may get reassigned

He may get reassigned

That is my vote as well...

[risinggreen]

Get it over with. I'm tired of talking about it. It's time.

[NT91]

To take a page from the Rangers.. "IT's TIME"

[Mean Green Matt]

I want it to be Monday, but I think it will come at the end of the season. Anything sooner will be a very pleasant surprise. The team is in shambles right now, we just need make the change.

[Side Show Joe]

You need to add "reassigned on Monday" as an option to this poll. That's my guess.

[Green Mean]

At the very least RV needs to do what Minnesota did. Inform TD that he won't be back next season and make it public. At that point it is a foregone conclusion and you can still publicly and actively look for the new head coach and TD can prob still coach the rest of the season out.

[shaft]

To clarify lets say fired = the announcement that Dodge won't be head coach.

I fully expect RV to make the announcement and let TD coach out the rest of season. We're not going to tar and feather the guy, we just don't want him running the team.

Reassigned and fired is the same when it comes to Dodge. As long as he is not HC of the football team and rv starts a serious search.

[oldguystudent]

If he gets reassigned, does he get his $20,000 season completion bonus?

No. A thousand times No. Nothing good can come of firing someone and then letting them have day to day contact with the team they will not be coaching the next season. We have already seen this occur once and have heard about the split that occurred the next couple of seasons.

Coach Dodge seems to be a good person, but you just cannot afford to leave him in the locker room if he knows he is gone after this year. Make the break clean. If you reassign him, reassign him outside the football program, and better yet outside the AD.

[Huff]

My hope is that he will get the word on Monday but my belief is that his dismissal conference is still two weeks away. I sure hope that I am wrong.

[GrandGreen]

I see no merit in terminating Dodge before his successor has been hired. I don't see any current coach on the staff as a valid candidate, so nothing is gained by an interim coach.

The problem is firmly RV's now. He is frankly lucky to still be AD after the Dodge hire and another bad decision could spell the end for him as well. RV has made some very good recent decisions in hires for the non-revenue sports and hopefully he can do the same in football. RV certainly has plenty of time to come up with a solid replacement HC.

[DeepGreen]

God help RV if he comes out on Monday with the statement, "we will evaluate Coach Dodge at the end of the season".

I think a even better question is " who gets fired 1st , TD or Wade ? "

Same person?

Numerous late hit penalties, bad special teams play, undisciplined play.....

BUT, when you listen to Wade, your IQ drops a point.
