I will not be "dancing in the streets", and I do consider myself a proud member of the Mean Green nation. I do not celebrate others misfortune. TD did what he thought was best to turn around the fort

Just announced on the Ticket under the"Breaking News" sounder.

George commented: He made his own mistakes (high school staff), but program was way down from what people know when he took it over.

But I have more respect for him now than when I first met him.

Heartbreaking because I was never more sure that it would work out for him.

I don't know what to say.....There was a just a lot of mistakes. I wish that best for Coach Dodge and just hope that the Mean Green can start anew. The New Mean Green Stadium is a great chance for North Texas to reclaim its glory. As the Rangers have soon, with patients and faith, good things can happen for you. Glory to the Green, Glory To the White.

Not a surprise, but certainly the finality of this sinks in today. I will always remember how he handled this difficult situation with such dignity. I wish him and his family nothing but the best! GMG!

So you're saying Dodge won't talk the players into wearing black next game? Really wish this would've worked out but at least we have something (coaching search) to look forward to.

No surprise here. Good job RV. I think we all owe our best wishes to Todd. He has been nothing but a gentleman in this position and he endured some extremely tough circumstances (some of them self-imposed) over the last 3.5 years. I am grateful for the impact he had on some of the players and that he was always looking out for the best interest of the university.

Let the speculation begin on who will be the new coach.

I wish Todd Dodge the best, he will land on his feet, say what you want about the job he has done at UNT but his is still one of the best coaches this state has ever seen. I think Canales will do a job the rest of the season, and if so he should be considered for the job, the coaching search will be fun to keep up with. A new stadium, a new coach, a new start

Good luck to Coach Dodge, wherever he may end up, be it back at Carroll or as an offensive assistant at a higher level college program. Thank you for the time and effort that you put into this program.

Now that we are moving on, please God, RV, make the right hire. I know that is easier said than done, and is eaasier done with a pile of money that you don't have right now, but please, please please, please, find a way to make it work.

As for all of us on this board, let's get behind whoever the new hire is (even if it isn't our personal choice) and give the new coach all the support we can heading into the 1st season in a brand new stadium.

Go Mean Green!!!!

Curious to see if it is a reassignment or an outright "hit the bricks" situation. Not sure if Canales is auditioning or RV already has his short list and Chico is just here to bridge the gap. It will make for an interesting few weeks.

Good luck to TD in the future

I really hope so, but it would be hard to blame him if he didn't.

Completely disagree. If he didn't, it would prove that the whole time he was playing, he was playing for Daddy Dodge and not Coach Dodge.

We could only have hoped and assumed that to Coach Dodge, Riley was treated as a player; and to Riley Dodge, Todd treated as a coach. I do not expect him to be here next year, but I would hope that he would be man enough to play out the season.

      The bats have definitely been the biggest disappointment the past two years. The run support simply hasn't been there enough. Now, I'm still optimistic for the tournament. Last year we won three straight to make it to the title game. But that double bye would have been nice especially if we only have two reliable pitchers right now.

      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.
