Dodge's 5A dynasty leaves area coaches shaking their heads -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Posted: 12/20/05 - 11:54:32 pm CST -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Bob West column for Wednesday, December 21, 2005 Count football coaches in Southeast Texas among those who have difficulty putting into perspective what one of their own - Todd Dodge - has accomplished at Southlake Carroll. From West Brook's Craig Stump - Dodge's sophomore backup QB on TJ's 1980 state finalists - to West Orange-Stark's Dan Hooks, to Nederland's Larry Neumann, to PN-G's Matt Burnett, there was a tone of disbelief after Saturday's 34-20 thumping of Katy gave Dodge's Dragons their third title and a 63-1 record in four years at the 5A level. “It's amazing,†said Stump, whose Bruins were overpowered by Katy in the third round of the playoffs. “I don't think we'll every see another team dominate 5A the way Southlake has. That school had a great tradition when Todd went there, but he's taken it to another level. He's a step ahead, a play ahead of everybody else. “Plus, he's built a great organization and has the kind of administrative and community support on all levels that can make a difference. I remember going in there as a recruiter for Mississippi State. The Southlake football team was such a huge deal. Kids in the fifth and sixth grade can't wait their turn to be Dragons.†“It's impossible to explain,†said Hooks, whose Mustangs won back-to-back 4A titles and played for a third from 1986-88. “They don't just win, they dominate good programs. With the parity and quality programs in 5A, it's just incredible. You say it can't go on forever, but I wouldn't be surprised if he wins the next two with his son (Riley) playing quarterback.†“He's way ahead of everybody else, it's not just talk,†Neumann declared. “I watched the Katy game just shaking my head at the things they did. To move up a classification and do what they've done is a truly amazing feat. There have been some remarkable programs in Texas, some dynasties, and Carroll is at the very top. “It just seems like that program and that town are in a different zone. They had a great tradition when Todd went there, but it's like he's taken a fire and thrown gasoline on it. What jumps out is the confidence those kids play with. Katy made a run at them and had momentum in the third quarter and they answered with a three-play, 80-yard drive. They just seem to be in a different league from the rest of 5A.†“It's mind boggling,†declared PN-G's Burnett, who as a player was part of an Indian program that went to the semifinals or finals four consecutive years in the mid 1970s. “As a coach, if you win one state championship it's an outstanding feat. Just winning a district championship is hard. You really can't relate to what he's done. “He's got a system going that's just phenomenal. What's so incredible is the way he keeps turning out great quarterbacks. They all seem to have height, strong arms and throw the ball with amazing accuracy. It would be like us having Dustin Long playing QB every year. Obviously, he's developing them and that's a key to their success.†Ronnie Thompson, who created the Frankenstein monster Dodge has become in the coaching profession, chuckled when asked for a perspective on what his star pupil has accomplished. “I don't think you can put it in perspective,†he said. “It's off the charts, in terms of dominating the highest classification. I've thought about it. Abilene in the 1950s and Midland Lee at the end of the ‘90s had great runs. So did Austin Reagan in the late 60s and Judson in the early ‘90s. “But none of those teams were in the finals four straight years. Todd's one-point away (16-15 loss to Katy in the 2003 finals) from winning four straight. The one he lost, his defensive coordinator was in the hospital dying of cancer and his all-state kicker missed a chip-shot, game-winning field goal. “He's not doing this with a bunch of kids headed to the NFL, either. Year in and year out there are numerous 5A programs with more Division 1 signees. But he's just way, way out there with what he's doing. He's taken a real good system and tweaked and tweaked and tweaked it until it's beyond good.†Thompson said that even as a high school quarterback Dodge had a remarkable grasp of what the offense was all about, and a unique ability to simplify it for players around him. “We were trying to coach a high-powered offense and a lot of kids couldn't understand it,†Thompson related. “Todd, with two or three words or a couple of gestures could straighten them out and make it so much clearer for them than we were able to do. “Now, you watch his team play and you see everybody out there really understands what's going on. A lot of people probably think what they are doing is complicated, but he's made it so simple for them it's like shooting fish in a barrel. “Todd, of course, with his play calling, gives them the ultimate advantage. He finds you defensively, locates you, then knocks you out. And, while from the outside it looks like it's all about offense, he's put a high priority on defense. Without a great defense, they probably wouldn't have beaten Katy.†Stump, who sent Dodge his Katy game tape and told his former teammate what he thought would work against the Tigers defense, remembers Todd's ability to help other TJ players grasp the offense. But he said Thompson deserves more credit for that than he's taking. “Ronnie made his quarterbacks have their head in the game, otherwise we'd have been like most other high school kids. Once a practice or a game was over, you would have other fish to fry. But not with Ronnie. He made sure you put extra time into studying the offense, so you knew what we were doing and why. “I do think, dating back to our days at TJ, that one of Todd's greatest strengths is being able to communicate. Winning coaches are almost always great communicators. You have to be able to tell somebody how to do something in different ways until it clicks.†Stump said he also believes Dodge is as good as anybody in the profession at developing and coaching quarterbacks. “His QBs have been the 5A Player of the year four straight years. I'm sure those kids would have been good no matter who coached them. But Todd coached them up to another level. People like to say great players make great coaches. Well, great coaches can make great players. Without Todd, I doubt any of those guys is the player of the year.†Sports editor Bob West can be e-mailed at [email protected].

Posted: Mon Dec 26, 2005 8:45 am Post subject: So Long, ABC Monday Night Football -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Sportscaster Al Michaels, left, gestures to his new "Monday Night Football" announcing partner John Madden during the Television Critics Association Press Tour in Pasadena, Calif., on July 17, 2002. Television sports reaches the end of one era and the beginning of another tonight when ABC signs off on its primetime weeknight coverage of the NFL for the final time and hands off to ESPN. Clock runs out on ABC's 'Monday Night Football' By Hal Bock / Associated Press December 26, 2005 From its inception, ABC's ''Monday Night Football'' was a risky experiment that defied American sports tradition. From Howard Cosell's pontification to Don Meredith's down-home songs to Dennis Miller's arcane analogies, it dominated TV viewing in homes and bars across the nation. The broadcast was a hodgepodge of personalities and indelible images, defining moments and follies, eye-popping on-the-field performances and the kind of impromptu silliness that only sheer boredom can create. In short, it was exactly what ABC Sports boss Roone Arledge hoped it would be. It was theater. Television sports reaches the end of one era and the beginning of another tonight when ABC signs off on its prime-time weeknight coverage of the NFL for the final time and hands off to sister network ESPN. The 555th Monday night game on the network is itself of little consequence: The dismal New York Jets play the New England Patriots, who already are playoff bound but have no chance to improve their position. The series switches networks next season, when ESPN begins paying $1.1 billion per year for Monday night rights in an eight-year deal. '''Monday Night Football' is the premier property in sports television,'' ESPN president George Bodenheimer said. ''All the players get up for it. All the teams watch. It's a national showcase. To be able to transition it to ESPN is an honor.'' There was no ESPN when ABC began its MNF run on Sept. 21, 1970, with the Jets playing at Cleveland. It was the beginning of 36 seasons of one of television's most valuable franchises, a compelling three hours that became the longest running prime-time sports series in TV history. Municipal Stadium was jammed with 85,703 fans that first night as ABC began a broadcasting odyssey with Keith Jackson doing play-by-play and ex-quarterback Meredith sharing analysis and wisecracks with Cosell. The three-man booth was new territory for sports television. But then, so was this whole MNF adventure, the invention of NFL commissioner Pete Rozelle and Arledge. It was a bold step because, for the longest time, football in America fit neatly into a three-day weekend. Friday night was reserved for high school games. Saturday belonged to college football. The NFL played on Sunday. Rozelle wasn't about to lock the NFL into that pattern. The league had experimented with occasional weeknight games, and the commissioner thought it was a perfect place to grow his product. Similarly, Arledge believed sports was the perfect product for television. Rozelle needed a network partner, and Arledge needed a foot in the NFL door. With CBS and NBC locked into NFL games on Sundays, ABC was the perfect fit for MNF. But it took some persuading. Rozelle's trump card was syndication on the Hughes Sports Network. On and off for two years, Rozelle and Arledge would meet for lunch, usually at Manhattan's posh 21 Club, haggling over details. Arledge felt he was always on the defensive, especially when Rozelle mentioned Hughes. ''I had about as much clout as the Dalai Lama has dealing with the Chinese army,'' he once said. ''You know where the power was.'' Arledge persuaded reluctant ABC higher-ups to sign off on the deal, but then Rozelle almost pulled the rug out from under him. ''He said, 'Of course, you understand we have to offer it to CBS and NBC first because of existing contracts,''' Arledge said. ''I was about to slit my throat.'' The other two networks passed, and the deal went to ABC for $8.5 million a year, a rights fee that ballooned over the life of the partnership to $550 million a year, half of what ESPN will pay. It was the start of something very big. Arledge's plan was to use the up-close and personal approach he had applied to ABC's coverage of the Olympics. There would be nine cameras instead of the usual four or five. Producer Dennis Lewin was there at the start and later moved to the NFL as head of broadcasting. ''We approached every game as if it was the Super Bowl,'' Lewin said. The selection of the announcing team was vital. The plan was to have ex-NFL star Frank Gifford in the booth, but Gifford had a year remaining on a contract at CBS and he recommended his pal, Meredith. Arledge added the bombastic, often abrasive Cosell for analysis, with Jackson doing play-by-play. The interplay between the urbane Cosell and Meredith the country boy made the broadcasts tingle with electricity. Cosell took to calling Meredith ''Dandy Don,'' and the quarterback would serenade blowout games by singing, ''Turn out the lights, the party's over.'' Once, when the cameras zeroed in on stony-faced Minnesota coach Bud Grant, Meredith changed his tune, singing, ''You are my sunshine, my only sunshine.'' The first game included an electrifying 94-yard return of the second-half kickoff by Cleveland's Homer Jones, played and replayed by ABC's army of cameras, and a dramatic portrait of Jets quarterback Joe Namath, shoulders slouched at game's end after an interception that sealed the victory for the Browns. It was must-see TV and the country responded. The first-year rating was 18.5 with a 31 percent share of the viewing audience. When Gifford replaced Jackson to do play-by-play the next year, the rating went up to 20.8. Rozelle and Arledge had a hit on their hands. Much of the success had to do with Cosell. His nasal, New York tones delivered a know-it-all message that often infuriated audiences. ''Howard made people listen,'' Lewin said. ''He made people think, and he made people watch. You didn't always agree with Howard, but he was never afraid to say what he thought.'' Then there was Arledge's unique production. ''Roone felt it was important to personalize the athlete, to transport the viewer from the couch to every part of the stadium,'' Gifford said. ''Roone Arledge turned a football game into live theater.'' Gifford functioned as a traffic cop, an x's and o's football fundamentalist, while Cosell and Meredith provided comic relief. It worked famously, benefited by some terrific games and occasionally interrupted by some dramatic news. It fell to Cosell on Dec. 8, 1980, to announce, in the middle of the broadcast, that Beatle John Lennon had been shot and killed. Some of the more memorable Monday night moments include: Tony Dorsett setting a record with a 99-yard run from scrimmage for Dallas against Minnesota on Jan. 3, 1983. Green Bay defeating Washington 48-47 on Oct. 17, 1983, as the teams combined for 1,025 yards of total offense in the highest-scoring MNF game, a contest not decided until Mark Moseley missed a potential game-winning 39-yard field goal with 3 seconds to play. Miami ending Chicago's shot at an undefeated season, beating the Bears 38-24 on Dec. 2, 1985, as alumni from the Dolphins' undefeated 1972 team cheered for their record to be protected. The game set an MNF record with a 29.6 rating and 46 share. Hall of Fame quarterbacks John Elway and Joe Montana facing off in a dramatic duel won by Montana, who threw a TD pass with 8 seconds remaining to give Kansas City a 31-28 victory over Denver on Oct. 17, 1994. The Jets roaring from behind in the fourth quarter, scoring on four straight possessions to wipe out a 30-7 Miami lead and then again with 42 seconds left in regulation before winning in overtime 40-37 on a 40-yard field goal by John Hall on Oct. 23, 2000. Brett Favre throwing for 399 yards and four touchdowns in Green Bay's 41-7 victory over Oakland on Dec. 22, 2003, one day after the sudden death of his father. Over the years, the package changed. Meredith fled Cosell's overbearing presence, joining NBC in 1974 before returning three years later. Arledge moved to head ABC's news division in 1977. Cosell departed in 1983 but not before taking a parting shot at the NFL, calling it boring. MNF always battled boring. ABC dressed its announcers in outrageous canary yellow blazers for a while. When ratings began to dip, the network tried different starting times and different broadcasters, even hiring comedian Miller for two seasons. Some ex-players-turned-announcers stayed longer than others. Fred Williamson never made it out of the preseason in 1974. Gifford stuck around for 28 years. There was a tawdry cross promotion involving Philadelphia wide receiver Terrell Owens for ABC's ''Desperate Housewives'' series last year that raised some eyebrows. The signature opening recently has had country star Hank Williams Jr. singing, ''Are you ready for some football?'' Al Michaels took over play-by-play duties in 1986 and will follow the series to ESPN next season, joined by ex-quarterback Joe Theismann, who provided one of the more dramatic MNF moments in 1985 when his leg was broken on a sack by Lawrence Taylor. Bodenheimer said ESPN will try to turn MNF into the kind of defining event the program was in its early years. ''ESPN plans to create an immersive experience for the fans,'' he said. ''It will be a happening in each MNF city. We look to take the best that ABC has done in 36 years and create a new era on ESPN. _________________

01:18 PM CST on Monday, December 19, 2005 By DAMON L. SAYLES / The Dallas Morning News Southlake Carroll’s state championship win against Katy on Saturday secured back-to-back mythical national championships in two high school football polls. Carroll finished No. 1 in the National Prep Football Poll and the Student Sports Fab 50. Carroll has been No. 1 in the Fab 50 since the beginning of the 2004 season. Carroll (16-0) has won 63 of 64 games since becoming a 5A school in 2002. With Saturday’s 34-20 win against Katy, Carroll avenged its only loss, a 2003 setback in the state championship. Carroll became the fourth team to win at least two National Prep Football Poll championships, joining Concord, Calif., De La Salle (1994, 1998, 2000-04), Cleveland St. Ignatius (1993, 1995) and Hampton, Va. (1996-97). Carroll also became the sixth school in the Fab 50 poll to earn back-to-back national titles. Carroll's win capped an unprecedented season for area high school football. Ten area schools – five public and five private – achieved their ultimate goal. Seven of those squads finished undefeated, from Class 5A Southlake Carroll to Southwest Preparatory Conference Division II Irving Cistercian. "This is what every high school football player dreams about," Celina defensive lineman Cody Tomplait said after his 16-0 team capped the area's state-title spree with a 28-12 win over Omaha Paul Pewitt on Saturday night. Local teams swept the 5A and 4A titles, something no other quartet from the same area had accomplished since 4A adopted the two-division format in 1996. There was also an area sweep of the four TAPPS 11-man divisions, which last happened when local schools did it in 1993. The champions from the area came in all sorts of sizes and styles, with a variety of storylines. There were perennial powers. Celina tied Brownwood and Plano for the most state championships with seven after cruising to the 2A Division II crown. Southlake Carroll won 5A Division II for the third time in four seasons to claim the program's sixth state title. Arlington Grace Prep earned its fourth state title in eight seasons by winning TAPPS 4A Division II. And there were fresh faces. Hebron, a program in its sixth season, had never advanced past the second round before its run to the 4A Division II championship. Euless Trinity (5A Division I) and Plano Prestonwood (TAPPS Division III) also won state titles for the first time. Highland Park ended a 48-year title drought. Carroll and TAPPS Division I champion Fort Worth Nolan defended titles. Carroll actually defended two, repeating as mythical national champions. ------------------------ 1.
