Dodge confirmed as top candidate for Marble Falls head football coach and athletic director; meets booster club, tours facilities
MARBLE FALLS — Todd Dodge, considered one of Texas’ most successful high school coaches, is being wooed as a top candidate for athletic director and head football coach of the Marble Falls school district, officials have confirmed.
Dodge Jan. 18 met with different staff members and toured school facilities.
Cord Woerner, the Marble Falls Independent School District’s head football coach and athletic director for eight years, was transferred two weeks ago to a desk job in central administration.
“The primary purpose of this evaluation is to allow (Dodge and his family) to see if this is the place they want to be,” said Bruce Peckover, a school district spokesman.
Dodge won four Class 5A state titles while he was at Southlake Carroll from 2002-2006. He became the head coach at North Texas in 2007-2010. Last season, he was the quarterbacks coach at the University of Pittsburgh.
Dodge also has a reputation for turning around ailing football programs.
The job is posted until Jan. 23.
School Superintendent Rob O’Connor introduced Dodge as a top candidate to members of the Marble Falls Athletic Booster Club the morning of Jan. 18, according to booster club media representative Galyn Woerner.
“Until the job posting closes on Monday, the job is open to all candidates until next Monday (Jan. 23),” Peckover said. “I understand it’s big news to have a candidate like this in town.”
