Named new head coach at University of North Texas. It will be interesting to see how his 77-1 High School record will transition into Division I. I think he's in for a rude awakening for his first few years.

there is the possibility of tough times ahead
Do you have a link for this? Because it's not on the UNT website, or the Dallas Morning News, etc.
I just have a hard time believing he'd announce this while his team is still playing.
Wait. Did aggiegrant tell you this?

it will be more interesting to see if the sun comes up this morning in southlake.
Announced on Dunam and Miller this morning on the Ticket. Press Conference is scheduled for later today.
As for the rude awakening...
I think he had an easier time recruiting for the Dragons than he will for UNT, and he had more resources and better facilities available to him at Southlake than he will at UNT. The man has skills...77-1 doesn't lie; but he's got a tough row to hoe in front of him.

The sun will come up in Southlake. I doubt they have a very hard time attracting the next 77-1 guy.
It was also on the news this morning. I also belive this weekend is their last game, once again they are playing for state.
This weekend is the semi finals. They're probably announcing it now so that they can have at least one kid commit to them.
It hasn't been done yet. It is just supposedly confirmed in the Ft. Worth paper. As far as facilities, North Texas has way better training facilities. SLC may have them on the stadium though. Haven't been to UNT in awhile.
He'll be there for a year or two and get some HC experience, then move on to a better gig. I'm sure he's only there because it allows him to still be close to his son and not have to move to another city.
He had some tremendous talent to work with as a High School Coach. He won't have that same talent at UNT.

Coach Dodge is a good coach....I think he will do well at UNT
His overall record as a HS head coach is not 77-1 though....you should re-check that

Jim "Matress Mac" McInvale will give UNT whatever they want and within his budget for facilities improvements.
He threatened to pull his millon $ endowment if they did not name the FB field after fired coach Dickey when UNT wanted to name it after McInvale.

He is in for a rude awakening mainly because UNT has a smaller stadium, locker room, and fan base than South Lake does.
With the money that Southlake has, they will never hurt for a good coach or good players.
does UNT play tu next year? Like to see him stick it to his old school
Might he be able to pull some of his SLC kids over to UNT though?
I'm surprised he took that gig; he could do much better elsewhere. He can't win there. As for any personal reasons behind the move, he could have stayed at SLC as long as he wanted if he wanted to be near his family.
I can see him taking over at TCU if Gary Patterson left.

He should just talk the entire Southlake team into coming to UNT as scholly/walk-on players. He'd be better than UNT is now.
And I saw that 1 loss. It was against my adopted high school the Katy Tigers against Chase Daniels when he played for SouthLake.
It was glorious. SLC can totally eat sheet. They are everything I hate about Dallas.

So where does his son end up?
First Briles, now Dodge. Only a matter of time until Alan Weddell gets an NCAA head coaching job.

Congrats on seeing SLC's one loss. The OU kicker makes the kick and SLC would be 78-0 in 5A.
Dodge can do there what Dickey did in his good years. He can win the sorry conference they are in, but once he gets out of conference, he will struggle.
I figured he'd get a shot at some point.
With this coming out today, it'll be interesting to see how his team reacts this weekend.

Figured he would stay at SL until his some graduated, but his son has one more year left. That is all the explanation you need for the move to NT State versus another program at this time.
As far as SL's future, it is safe. He has instituted his program from the top down and the Jr High programs are excellent learning grounds and feeders for the HS one.

He'll have to take a pay cut and play in front of smaller crowds now...........
what do you mean, this probably will be an easy transition, he's gotta know how to recruit seing as how he built up that SLC team

Oh, you mean that football teams in Dallas win Championships, and Houston can't win sheeet.
Oh wait, you did win the 'futbol' championship didn't you....way to go Houston, you are AWESOME!
Why is it so hard to believe Dodge will succeed in the Sun Belt conference? All he has to do is recruit the Southlake system guys who aren't athletically gifted enough to play in the Big 12. He can get plenty of mileage playing smart guys who know his system inside and out in the Sun Belt.
don't forget about the women houston comets winning 3 championships!!! That has to somehow compare to the Cowboys winning 5 Superbowls, right

Jealous much?
I respect Todd Dodge and that program tremendously, and have become a fan of theirs. They're a lot like Permian was in its heyday: they aren't the most talented team in the state (Lufkin manages to waste that asset every year), but they outwork everyone and their level of coaching and desire is just superior.
Good move for Todd, and after he gets a few conference championships under his belt he'll head on to the big time.
