Former Southlake Carroll state-winning QB interested in Dragons head coach position

Riley Dodge has interviewed for the head football coach position at Southlake Carroll, a source told the Star-Telegram.

Dodge is currently the offensive coordinator at Justin Northwest High School. He attended Carroll, and was the Dragons' starting quarterback on the 2006 state championship team.

A Carroll school district official said in a email that the athletic department is evaluating its options..

"Carroll ISD’s athletic program is going through a time of transition," said Julie Thannum, assistant superintendent for board and community relations. "We are reviewing responsibilities and assignments for current and future staff. The Administration will soon announce its plans for coaching vacancies and athletic director going forward.."

A regularly-scheduled board meeting is planned for Monday, with the public session beginning at approximately 6:30 p.m.

The Carroll job has been vacant since Hal Wasson accepted a buyout on Feb. 25. The district posted the job opening a day later.

A deal to bring Austin Westlake head Todd Dodge, Riley's father, back to Carroll fell through around March 11., according to a report from KTVT/Ch. 11 reporter Bill Jones.

Todd Dodge led Carroll to four titles from 2002-06.

The Star-Telegram, through a Texas Open Records Request to the Carroll ISD, is seeking copies of all applications and resumes submitted for the head football coach job, as well as other details.
