Stroke won't stop McCarney, but gives North Texas coach perspectiv

Got to love seeing the love from the media for Coach Mac

A couple of days after the stroke, long-time friend Randy Peterson, of the Des Moines Register, called McCarney in the hospital. One of McCarney's responses -- "it's nothing a little Grey Goose won't take care of" -- was a hit on Twitter.

"Mac, I got two calls that you had a stroke and you're dead," Peterson said.

"Freaking dead?" McCarney said. "I'm good, I'm good. I had a stroke, but it's nothing a little Grey Goose won't take care of. 'Cus I'm all right. Don't throw dirt on my yet."

McCarney still has work to do, players to coach, a program to turn around.

"I'm 58 -- I'd love to keep doing this," McCarney said. "I want to retire with my family, kids and grandkids. I have some time to enjoy it. I would like to keep going. As long as I enjoy as much as I do; I really hope I keep doing this for a while."

McCarney said his next taste of Grey Goose won't come for quite some time.

"I have to wait a while for some Grey Goose," McCarney said. "I don't know a doctor yet that says a little Grey Goose will help recover. But after a victory, there's nothing like a Grey Goose."
