I saw on another forum, that the SFA OC is going to coach at West Virgina. Riley has SFA as one of his choices to transfer.

SFA OC Steps down

Kind of crossed my mind as well. Sounds like a good fit, and probably would be a good position for him to go for in an attempt to pick up the pieces after his debacle here.

doubt it...unless J.C. Harper elevates up from HC. Just can't see him taking an OC job at an FCS school

You think he wants to go back to HS? An OC job anywhere would be a good start to rebuilding his rep.

Those two have always belonged at a school like SFA; I've argued it for years. Hear me now, believe me later.

Riley wouldn't have taken 1/19th of the pounding he did here if he'd have been honest with himself (and his dad with him...and our athletic driector to us) and signed with SFA, or Sam Houston, or Texas State, or Eastern Washington right out of the gate.

Why, he might be playing in the FCS championship games this week in Frisco, Texas like Bo Levi Mitchell will be with that Eastern Washington outfit!

And, Todd Dodge, too. He needed to be ripened on the vine like Gus Malzhan and the high school coach/guy that went to Tulsa last year from Lake Travis and is now interviewing for the Clemson OC job...along with TCU OC Justin Fuente.

Ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooh, Baby! It hurts to be right!

Ripened on the vine? :blink: Now THERE is an image of a coach that I never thought I'd have. :o

Staked out on an ant bed maybe, but never ripened. B)

I don't care where he goes, either, just to reiterate the point someone else made.

But I do think the guy (and particularly his family) are better suited for coaching at a high school. I don't mean that in any sort of talent or ability sense, I mean in terms of approach to the job and how he and the family handle the environment and surrounding criticism.

Whether or not he will ever succeed as a coach at the college level, I don't know and I'm not trying to speculate. But based on pretty much every public comment he ever made in interviews and the things we hear (both good and bad) from players and parents, I think he'd be happier working with high school kids in a high school environment.

High school, even as seriously as many in Texas take it, is also a much less intense spotlight with far less immediate and intense criticism than college ball. The criticism really seemed to get to Mrs. Dodge, especially in the last year and a half, and based on how she reacted to it I think she'd be happier with him as a revered figure at a powerhouse high school.

I see your opening point, but I like to keep up with where DD is, so I'm sure I'll follow where Dodge is coaching as well. Now, that doesn't mean that I'll become a fan of that school like some of our new IASt fans on the board, but I'll certainly be interested to see where he ends up.

I think as far as his future carreer goes, I tend to agree with TFLF. I think Dodge has a good football mind, but he needs to climb the ladder. You don't get on the tallest stilts you can find when you're learning how to walk in them.

I think if he returns to the high school ranks, it will be because he settled for comfort. I think he could start out as a QB coach at any D1a school, or an O-Coord of a D1aa school or lower right now. He'll learn the ropes, and tweak his offense to stand up to faster, better players while watching a veteran head coach show him the ropes of how a successful college program runs (practice, game management, recruiting). He'll learn alot, and put it all together. Maybe he'll have another HC opportunity down the line. I hope he does.

      McNeese State (11/18/24)

      @Censored by Laurie is correct. McNeese St is 0-2 in D1 games this year but those are a 7 point loss to South Dakota State and an 8 point loss to Alabama. They finished 56th in NET last year so if they run their conference again, this will likely end up a Quad 1 win. They just need to finish top 75 with it being a road game. Exciting times.

      Minnesota (11/13/24)

      Meanwhile we finished higher than Minnesota in NET last year. Actually they haven't finished higher than us since 2020. Was this post on Twitter?

      Minnesota (11/13/24)

      Mike Mitchell Jr. was out. He's a starter and Minnesota could've really used his shooting. Not as familiar with the other players but they're reserves. This game was a big data point for the Massie over Newell position!

      Minnesota (11/13/24)

      Awesome win! The only bad part was the commentary from the TV announcers. They confused Newell and Lorient for an extended period of time, stated that Atin Wright originally played at Washington State, and clearly barely knew anything about our program. The play by play announcer gave major 'and boom goes the dynamite' vibes. Some thoughts on the game: - The defense was stellar as we've all come to expect. Delo and Massie were great playing multiple matchups. - Minnesota came out and blitzed our PnRs. We really struggled with the pressure. Eventually we started slipping screens and setting brush screens to counteract it. - Trey Edmonds in the second half forced us to play big. He has a grown man body. Hodge settled on a Lorient/Sissoko combination to match Garcia/Edmonds. - An extended run with a Floyd/Walker/Massie/Lorient/Sissoko lineup including to close the game aside from situational subs. Before the season I would've been shocked that this lineup would close a win on the road against a Big Ten school because of the offense. The spacing was predictably an adventure. Massie wasn't efficient but he kind of made the lineup 'work'. He shows handling, passing, and court awareness in the half court. Feels like he could turn into a secondary ball handler in lineups. - Atin Wright had a meh game by his standards, but still really excited about him this season. He's a bit of a showman and I love it. After getting fouled in transition, he slapped the ball away from the defender and stared at him. On Lorient's massive jam at the end of the game, you can see him standing over Edmonds (who was on the ground). GMG

      Still just a bit, but a sad one because it seems like a ceiling and not a floor.
