Todd Dodge is one of the most accomplished Coaches in Texas High School Football History! He’s in the Texas High School Coaches Association’s “Hall of Honor”, a 7-Time State Champion, The QB Whisperer, and the only Coach in Lone Star History to win a 3-Peat at 2 different schools. At Southlake Carroll, Todd did the unthinkable…leading the Dragons to 4 State Titles in 5 years during a run of 79-1. No-one will ever do that again…But, his son Riley isn’t far off at 52-4 including a journey to the State Championship against his Dad in Dodge Bowl 1. As a Player, Todd was part of one of the greatest teams in State History at Port Aurthur Jefferson that sent 4 Stars to the Texas Longhorns. Todd became the first Texas HS Quarterback to throw for 3000 yards in a run-first State in the 70’s and 80’s. His son Riley threw for that in the playoffs at Southlake Carroll on the way to the State Title MVP and Player of the Year! Todd broke several passing records with the Texas Longhorns and talks about how you can get booed and cheered on the same day in Austin. Todd might be the busiest retired guy in the country! When he’s not tearing up the links at Horseshoe Bay, he’s continuing the tradition of QB/WR Camps all over the State! (Todddodgefootballcamps.com) He’s been doing that for 31 whopping years and changing lives forever. When he’s not traveling the country with his wife to check on ex-players like Cade Klubnik/Clemson, Jaden Greathouse/Notre Dame, the Twin Towers/UTexas, Sam Elhinger/NFL, or Chase Daniel/on his latest NFL Team… he’s teaching his Grandsons how to Spin-the-Ball as the next great Dodge QB! You could make a serious case that Todd, Sam Harrell/Ennis, Art Briles/Stephenville, and Randy Allen/Highland Park changed football with their pass-happy offenses that won State Titles. You can see the effects throughout college football and the NFL. It was 7-on-7 before 7-on-7! and a revolution that’s never going back! It was a storybook ending to finish off his illustrious career at Austin Westlake with 3 State Championships in a row! It was a Bucket List thing coaching at the school his father-in-law, Ebbie Neptune built. We talk about all these sensational players that stood out and how it could be gnarly when bleach blondes and unshaven kids meet in the State Title!
