Whitten finalist for Angelo State HC job

[coachacola]

Whitten is 1 of 4 finalists:

[quote]Angelo State University has released its final four head coaching candidates as the Rams look to replace Dale Carr.

Blinn Head Football Coach Brad Franchione didn't make the cut.

Wednesday Coach Fran was one of those being mentioned to take over in Angelo, but not 24 hours later.

Among those still in the running for the Rams post is former Sam Houston State Head Football Coach Todd Whitten.

Whitten is currently the Offensive Coordinator at Lamar University.

Others listed include:
* Steve Warren, Abilene High School Head Football Coach
* Will Wagner, Northwest Missouri Associate Head Football Coach
* Pierce Holt, former ASU Player/NFL player. [/quote]

dodge to lu!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Now, that would be a dream come true...

Why does everyone love dodge?  Ok, it would be awesome if he went to kelly but not mu.

[ForeverADog]

They love Dodge because he has proven he can score a lot of points with his offenses. He just could never figure out defensive stuff as a head coach.

Out with the Whitten and in the with Dodge!!!

[geezer]

WAG , But a reasonable possibility for Dodge is to Texas as qb coach, expect UT to promote Applewhite to OC to keep him from going to Florida with Muschamp.

Dodge made $275K as HC at UNT.  Woodard only makes around $140K so Dodge would have to take a serious pay cut to be OC at Lamar.  I doubt we'll see Dodge at Lamar and I bet Whitten is Lamar's OC next year.

Dodge MADE (past tense) that much at UNT.  However, he is currently unemployed and those unemployment benefits only go so far.  He'll probably get some better offers but you don't know unless you ask.  And the worst he can tell you is no.

He is definately pursuing this job.  Woodard needs to start developing his backup plan.

We could just get some one out of the stands each Sat. and do just as well... ;)

A Bob West article last month said the Dodge wants to be a quarterbacks coach.  Now that Jeremy Johnson is at Lamar, I wonder how interested Dodge would be in coaching him as the OC.  Lamar could probably offer him a competitive salary as OC compared to a QB coach at a big school, unless it's a BCS school like UT or OU.

There are things alumni at Lamar can do to get Coach Dodge. There are several people with deep pockets who are either alumni or have developed a relationship with the university. They could set him and his family up in a home, buy him a car and several other things outside what Lamar can do with a salary for a OC.

Todd Dodge is still a legend here from his playing days at TJ to his coaching career. I know the kids he recruits don't remember him as a player but I bet their parents do.

I'm sure there is someone who isn't a fan of Todd Dodge that will now post something negative.

I wonder about people from SE Texas sometimes.  ::)
