This will be our last chance to see UNT reach the level of college football that up until now we could only dream about. We are talking top 15 and better in three years if we hire Coach Dodge.

There will be no more opportunities for UNT. It comes down to this one very important decision. Make the wrong one and its over for good. I promise you that SMU and TCU and others are bitting their nails right now hoping we screw up just one more time.

Todd Dodge knows Denton and he knows UNT. He COACHED here!

He needs a D1A coaching position where he can continue to coach his son and we need a headcoach who knows how to win with excitement.

Coach Dodge would be with us for 5 years, six if he redshirts his son.

He will build us a new stadium at Mean Green Village and then he will pack it down, shake it until it overflows with fans.

He will make the Mean Green a household name nationwide.

We will have our best recruiting year ever, up to this point, in 2007.

We will have a winning record next year. We will win the SBC. We will win the bowl game.

We will win OOC games next year.

We will average over 25,000 fans per game next year.

Todd Dodge will elevate the SBC in stature and prestige.

Coach Dodge will position UNT to form or join another conference should we deem that necessary.

WE NEED TODD DODGE!

Don't screw this up.

I think that the job has already been decided.  I think RV knows who he is going to hire and that is the reason there is NO search committee.  I heard a name this morning of who it will be, and I can tell you if it is this person, no one on this board will like it.

Nix? If it is Nix then it's over for UNT. It would take years just to see if he could build a top tier program and we don't have that kind of time. RV would be long gone and what few fans remain would be left scratching their heads and wondering what the hell happened. SMU and TCU will breathe a sigh of relief if that happens. But ya know, we have been cursed for a long time so it won't surprise me if our people stumble all over themselves and screw this up, wasting 500,000 dollars and one perfect opportunity.

With Dodge we move five steps ahead of where we are today even before he steps on the field this spring.

It is not Tyrone Nix. It is the current, TE's coach at SM now.

But who are we going to elect Prom Princess?

This is a joke. We don't vote in coaches. And this isn't our "only chance."

Let the AD do his job. Does anyone on this board really question RV's judgement?

Let's take a look at RV shall we. He shows up assess the situation and starts making changes. Boom, tail gating. DD doesn't produce, he puts him on notice. Boom, 4 conference championships. DD slumps in 2005, RV puts him on notice. DD doesn' deliever in 06, boom new coach.

So why can't we all sit back and just acknowledge the fact that RV knows what he's doing.

Sit back if thats what you would like to do. The rest of us may assert what we want as long as it meets the forum rules, right? If we couldn't then whats the use of this forum?

One quote from shaft that I actually agree with. On the TE coach at USM - unless I hear more information regarding the source for that - I'm calling BS.

Stan - I seriously hope the source is either wrong or as not a stong canidate as they were lead to believe - a hire of this guy would be devistating. That being said, I do believe that RV will probably hire someone that he is either friends or buds with. Hope I am wrong.

If that happens, it will be as bad if not worse than the DD/Bobby Ray deal.

Wait a second now. The guy with 28 years college coaching experience would be a “disaster,” but the guy who has virtually no college background at all would be the best of all possible worlds?

The point was that it is hard to fire a buddy so if he is hired and sucks, RV will have to be let go before this guy will be.

If whomever is hired sucks in his 4th season, RV should be fired! I expect at least two years a losing record, roughly even in the 3rd and we should be winning in the 4th. It’s how teams are built.

If the coach can’t do that, they should be let go.

You sound like his publicist. You could mix together the attributes of the best high school footbal coaches in world history and not come up with one who could turn UNT into a top 15 program in three years. Stop bogarting the bong.

Your next head coach is not coming from USM. The only coach on our staff that has head coaching potential is Jay Hopson, our defensive coordinator, but he is a few years off from being ready. No way Randy Butler is head coaching material. Nice guy, good coach, but not a head coach.

Nix wouldn't leave South Carolina for the UNT job. Good luck in your search. Dodge sounds like a good hire to me.

that USM guy looks like a debate coach.

I was actually thiinking that I may have to root for SMU to win one of their next two games so that they will go to a bowl and not have a reason to clean house. Because if given the choice I would think Dodge would take SMU over us. Geez, wouldnt that be the ultimate in irony, that our victory over SMU could actually screw us out of the Dodge.

I think I am going to be sick.

      Why the NCAA model is dying and will be replaced

      You can rebuild a college basketball rotation to contend at a high level in one year. That is just 8-9 players. And if you get lucky with 2-3 absolute monsters, you can make a run in any given season. Of course, then those 2-3 monsters will get poached by deeper pockets and you will have to start all over again. But still, it is possible. But we can’t rebuild a college football two-deep in one year. That’s almost 50 players that we need to compete at a high level. And as has been demonstrated, any time we get football players who have any kind of success in the NIL era, they are gone quicker than you can say “Chandler Rogers”. Another reason it is easier for us to compete in the NIL era in basketball is because that sport is dominated by guards. There are LOTS of talented guards available in college basketball and some of the very best can fall through the cracks and land with us for atleast a season. And while many people would say that college football is dominated by quarterbacks (and that position is VERY important)… what really separates the elite college football programs from everyone else are the defensive linemen. The supply of 18-24 year-old humans who weigh 300 pounds with the strength to take on multiple blockers while also having the speed to run down a quarterback is no where near the demand. And these defensive linemen usually take a while to develop. But anytime a defensive linemen shows a hint of promise, he gets funneled to the highest bidder and that won’t be us. Which means we will never be able to compete with the SEC or Big 10 in football.

      Why the NCAA model is dying and will be replaced

      The problem is that boosters will always pay to get players and the Supreme Court made that legal. This will never go away. I truly believe that universities will own their team and play in leagues that features paid players, players that don’t even go to school. They’re employees. Texas could sign Vince Young to be their QB for 7 years to keep him. Same with the Aggies with Manziel. You get the idea. They’ll have coaches and GMs and be able to trade players, sign players to extensions, and develop players in minor league setups. The rest of us are the ones that have the chance to actually play amateur college sports. Players are students who play for scholarships and stipends, all of which is governed by a NCAA type entity. And I believe that there will be a market for this level of play. I believe that watching traditional college sports will get eyeballs. Even if the Power 40 play their own semi-pro league.

      I agree a disappointing season, but the hitting is a much bigger problem than the pitching.
