It's been a really crazy week and I've not had a chance to post my thoughts until now. First and foremost, I want to thank Coach Dodge and his family for their dedication to our program. Our prospects for the year looked exciting after the Clemson game, and I really think he could have turned it around if our starters hadn't begun dropping like flies. There is no coach anywhere who could have turned us into a winning football program with the personnel we had left after losing 15 players. At UT or OU, possibly, because of their depth, but not at UNT. I admire Riley for the way he finished our third game, playing with a broken wrist until the buzzer sounded, and I sincerely hope he finishes his career with us, even though I wouldn't blame him if he left. Finally, I want to chastise the posters on this board who have been calling for Coach Dodge's head since last spring. He is a class act, and the program is better off (in terms of character building) than before he came. (Remember?) And in the final analysis, that is what really matters...building young men of character.

Sounds similar to some comments during a local radio show this afternoon.

Good post, although winning is what keeps coaches around. For various reasons, some TD had control over and some he didn't, he just couldn't get us on the winning track, and in the end that is what led to his firing.

Stop kissing the ass of a dead horse

You could learn a thing or two about character from Dodge.

I think after you finish with the dead horse, you can guess whose else's ass you can kiss!

I haven't been calling for dodge's head since last spring...it has been since 2008.

There have been approx 5,700 1A college football coaches since 1881, and only 11 had a worse 4 year start than Todd Dodge (6-37)

Boom, roasted.

You know who's a nice person? My grandmother. Classy lady, too. Probably wouldn't have even effed over Miller or Insall. She's as friendly a person as you'd ever want to meet, too.... and I bet she could even pull off being a miserable pathetic failure as a college football coach.... but... CLASSY.

Yes, I agree completely. Building character is 100% of what college football should be about. But we all know that winning is also required if a coach is to have that opportunity. I really, really wish Coach Dodge could have been the one to stay for 20 years. I still think he could have won had we not had so much bad luck this year (I'm really not trying to get that thread started again!). But, it was not meant to be. My two cents are: If we win but have an "outlaw" program, we have really lost and failed those young men. Here is to the thought that hopefully we can find a coach/staff that can do both.

Thank you, Jub Jub for your comments and letting us all know your position on the Dodge. Didn't you say this exact same stuff on your show the other day? Did you feel saying it live on radio to millions of listeners just wasn't enough? :rolleyes:

Yeah, we should all feel sorry for Todd Dodge & the cool crisp million he just siphoned away from NT. <_<

Yeah -- we're horrible people for wanting the losingest coach in UNT history to be replaced.

If all you care about is character building, instead of wins and losses, let's hire Mister Peppermint to coach the team.

I'd rather hire his son, Gibby Haynes.

      24/25 MBB Attendance Tracker

      Third home game in a row under 3K in attendance and 4th for the season. Now at 2,947, average attendance is down almost 13% (439 per game) compared to the first 7 home games last year. We are now down 1,185 in average attendance compared to last season's full year average. The home conference slate kicks off with UAB on New Year's Eve. Hopefully, we will be able to chip away at this attendance deficit as some familiar foes visit the Super Pit, but it looks like hitting a 4K average and growing average attendance for the 3rd year in a row is becoming increasingly out of reach. Just win and they will come they said. SMH. On the bright side, we're currently sitting at 9-3 and 7-0 at home and own the 2nd best Net rating in the conference only behind Memphis. Unfortunately, the conference is incredibly weak this year so we don't have many opportunities to improve that ranking. Aside from winning on the road at Memphis, holding serve in terms of a Net rating may be the best we can do from here. Actually, looking at the schedule, we do have three Q2 road games (Wichita St, FAU and Temple). They need to keep winning and we will need to win those three to improve our resume.

      SMUt getting owned by State

      Tell me you’ll peddle BS on SMU’s behalf without telling me you’ll peddle BS on SMU’s behalf. Here is SMU’s attendance claim for this season; one so amazing that they made a nifty graphic for it. The only issue? Well, they played 7 home games and the stadium seats 32k…so an average attendance of 32,651 which is standing room only and beyond capacity is a bit difficult to swallow and leads one to believe that only believers in SMU math would buy it. And save me the “but look at North Texas’ attendance” garbage. Even someone as committed to being separated from reality as you knows that if North Texas 1) bought their way into the ACC to allow us to fill our stadium with opposing fans, 2) overpaid for players, and 3) had the easiest conference schedule possible to stack wins…Apogee would have been LEGITIMATELY sold out. And let me save you the trouble of the next silly argument you were just itching to type as a retort…yes, we have far more alumni, but we are not situated DEAD CENTER in a city of 1.3 Million people like SMU has been for decades

      Stop Blaming Athletes and the NCAA for Ruining College Football

      Come to think of it, ESPN and the other networks who really benefit from all of this, should contribute $$ to a NIL fund and distribute equally to each schools NIL for them to use at their discretion. Wouldn't that be fair?

      Say you didn't see any SMU crowds this season, without saying you didn't see any SMU home crowds this season. That place was packed and rocking, like nobody could've dreamed.

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

      I mean are you saying you want to know exactly what every player is paid? My worry is you would have each of them know that number is so they can be jealous and fight about it. I think the coaches have to determine the amounts and allocations unless you are an SMU or someone who can afford to pay every player on the roster 100k a piece. If you don’t have mountains of cash you have to allocate per the coaches wish I would think. Agents come into play sadly as well I suppose.
