I really don't think you can throw away history of these hires and how it is all affected us in present day. Look you may have a soft spot for Dodge and all but you can't just dissolve a 6-37 record in just 3 weeks.

Don't understand why people feel the need to run down Todd Dodge now that he's gone, you got your wish, he is not here anymore, let it go. I mean the guy left the program with class, and wished the program the best. He's also been to the three games since he was let go, there is no need to continue running the guy down, get over yourself.

Must be nice to watch your kid play FBS Football, and get paid doing it...since he got fired.

---Unless players, former players, or this case a "never our Player... does something illegal or out and out trashes our university... leave them alone. They aren't paid and they are very young besides. They can do their best and it just isn't as good as they or we want.. Even players who show up and don't perform well is back to the coaches, they recruited them and they are in control of who is on the field. I do not have the same attitude toward pro-athletes.... they are paid extremely well.

---Coaches are a different issue... most are well paid for what they do. Winning and losing is "on them" because of recruiting, coaching, and game day decisions. . Dickey left showing no class, but Dodge did... he just hadn't sucessful for a multitude of reasons..... the largest one bringing in too many high school coaches that were in over their head.

Very few HS kids are good enough to be college athletes. Sometimes people don't learn that until they are on a college campus and just don't do well. It rarely is a reflection on their high school coaching. The same is true is when some move to the pro-level... good college skills may not be enough... it is a different world.
