Moderators CJ Vogel Posted January 27, 2024 Moderators Share Posted January 27, 2024 A big move in the high school ranks. Lovejoy has officially announced the hiring of Todd Dodge. Dodge was recently at Austin Westlake where he helped establish the Chaps as one of the state's best programs in the state. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ray Peters Posted January 27, 2024 Share Posted January 27, 2024 (edited) I seem to recall he wanted to move closer to Riley and grandkids (I think he has grandchildren). Now, he can resume coaching and still be near family in DFW. (Yes, three grandchildren.) Edited January 27, 2024 by Ray Peters 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am rather surprised that Sarkisian did not offer him the Texas High School liason position. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that’s a younger man’s job these days. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's getting his retirement plus what hes making from Lovejoy. Only time in education where someone makes decent money. You have to retire, sit out a year and then you come back and collect both. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baron Posted January 28, 2024 Share Posted January 28, 2024 Todd Dodge was the coach at my HS for a year or two, but the admin wouldn't give him the funding he needed, so he left for SLC. What a bunch of dumbasses at CFB ISD. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look at coach Danaher, he was coaching well into his 70's. I think he just got the itch again and Lovejoy scratched it for him. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he just got the itch again and Lovejoy scratched it for him. I'm one of those guys who doesn't think people have to explain themselves to anyone if they want to un-retire. My dad did it several times through the years for special projects. Old friends called and off he went. There's no need to label retirement as the end. It can just be putting a pause on your career these days. It's all up to the individual and what they want out of life. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
