Meet Larry Mac Duff Video Larry Mac Duff, a 36-year coaching veteran who has coordinated successful defenses and special teams units at both the collegiate and NFL levels, joined the Texas staff in 2006 as an assistant head coach and co-defensive coordinator. While on the collegiate level, Mac Duff helped mentor a Nagurski Trophy winner, an Outland Trophy winner, a Thorpe Award winner, a Lombardi Award finalist, five Pac-10 Defensive Players of the Year and an NCAA sack champion. Mac Duff came to Texas after spending the previous four seasons as special teams coordinator for the San Francisco 49ers. Under Mac Duff, the 49ers special teams units performed and placed favorably in several team categories, including Top Four rankings in kickoff coverage and kickoff returns. Meanwhile, PK Joe Nedney was one of the top kickers in the league under Mac Duff, connecting on 29-of-35 field goals in 2006 after making 26-of-28 in 2005. Punter Andy Lee's 44.8 yard average in 2006 was the best by a 49er punter in over 40 years. Mac Duff joined the 49ers after his second stint at Arizona where he served as the Wildcats' defensive coordinator for the 2001 and '02 seasons. Prior to his second stop in Tucson, Mac Duff spent four seasons as the special teams coach for the New York Giants from 1997-00. Under Mac Duff, the Giants led the NFL in field goal defense in 1999 and 2000 and paced the NFC in punt returns in 1999. KR Ron Dixon became the first player in NFL history to return two postseason kickoffs for touchdowns during the Giants Super Bowl run in 2000. The Giants went on to capture two NFC East Championships in Mac Duff 's tenure. Mac Duff 's first stop in Arizona set defensive standards in the early 1990's. The Wildcats' 'Desert Swarm' unit led the nation in scoring defense in 1992, allowing only 8.9 points per game, and finished second in total defense. The impressive display was repeated in 1993 when the Wildcats led the nation in rushing defense while allowing a conference-record 30.1 yards per game. Mac Duff 's success continued as his 1994 defense finished in the top 10 nationally and second in rushing defense. In 1995, the Wildcats finished the season ranked No. 7 in total defense. Mac Duff was named Athlon Magazine's National Assistant Coach of the Year for his efforts. Mac Duff 's defenses produced a number of high profile players including two 1989 first-round NFL picks in tackle Anthony Smith and linebacker Chris Singleton, Thorpe Award winner Darryll Lewis in 1990, Outland Trophy and Nagurski award winner Rob Waldrop in 1993, and Lombardi Award finalist and NCAA sack champion Tedy Bruschi in 1994 and 1995. Five Wildcats were named Pac-10 Defensive Player of the Year during his tenure, including Bruschi in 1995, Waldrop in 1993, Lewis in 1990, Dana Wells in 1988 and Chuck Cecil in 1987. Linebacker Sean Harris was a two-time first-team all-league selection in 1993 and 1994 as was strong safety Brandon Sanders in 1994 and 1995. In 1984, Mac Duff joined Dick Tomey's staff at Hawaii as the defensive line coach and special teams coordinator. He coached the Rainbows' first Division I first-team All-American, tackle Al Noga. Mac Duff joined Tomey at Arizona in 1987, when Tomey was offered the head coaching position for the Wildcats. Mac Duff entered coaching as the outside linebackers coach at Fullerton Junior College under Hal Sherbeck in 1970, was line coach and defensive coordinator at Sunny Hills High School from 1971-73 and returned as defensive coordinator for Sherbeck from 1974-79 at Fullerton J.C. He moved into Division I-A football as defensive line coach for Paul Wiggin at Stanford from 1980-81 and 1983 and was Wiggin's defensive coordinator and inside linebackers coach in 1982. Mac Duff was a two-time allconference linebacker and standout baseball player at Fullerton, Calif.'s Sunny Hills High School from 1964-65 and a two-time all-conference defensive end at Fullerton Junior College from 1966-67. Fullerton won the national JUCO title in his last year with a 12-0 record when Mac Duff earned All-America honors. He moved on to play linebacker under Chuck Fairbanks at Oklahoma from 1968-69. He graduated with a degree in physical education in 1970 and later earned a master's degree in physical education from Cal-State Fullerton in 1972. Born in Clinton, Iowa, Mac Duff and his wife, Barbie, have one son, Justin. The Larry Mac Duff File Hometown: Clinton, Iowa High school: Sunny Hills (Fullerton, Calif.)

North Texas Football Banquet Come out and support the Mean Green Football team as we recognize them and their accomplishments from the 2007 season. Coach Dodge will speak and reflect on the past season and look forward to the 2008 Football season. When: Saturday, January 26, 2008 Time: Doors Open @ 5:00pm Dinner Line Opens @ 5:30pm (Meal provided by Outback Steakhouse) Where: Super Pit Prices: Individual Tickets: $50 Table Sponsors (Round of Eight): $350 Dress is business-casual _____________________________________________________________________________ I don't know about anybody else, but I help the program as much as I can, but this id F'n ridiculous. Tickets were $25 or $35 last year. NT won three games last year. It was sold out because of the Dodge hire, but almost doubling the price for a worse team with no buzz about the team being any better. I do not undersand the justifcation for the increase. I love the football banquet but WILL NOT be attending this season. I know that my spot will be taken by someone else, but this upsets me.

Had better ratings than any of the Stanley Cup finals. I watched more of this game than I did all of the NHL postseason games. It was cool to watch the snow flying up. Hockey is not normally a sport that transfers to TV well, but this game did and was fun to watch.

Cobbs needs to hope the new coach likes him

West Virginia hiring Stewart after big Fiesta win West Virginia interim coach Bill Stewart was named the school's full-time head coach Thursday morning. The announcement came just hours after he led the Mountaineers to a 48-28 Tostitos Fiesta Bowl win over Oklahoma. "He obtained this position the old fashioned way -- he earned it," said WVU athletic director Ed Pastilong, who made the announcement at the team hotel in Scottsdale, Ariz. "Billy led us to our biggest football victory in the school's history against Oklahoma and he, his coaching staff and his support staff are outstanding Mountaineers, leading us through a tough time.

Yes the NFL and NCAA use different formulas to figure the passer (QB) rating. Quarterback Rating Formulas NFL Quarterback Rating Formula (National Football League) a = (((Comp/Att) * 100) -30) / 20 b = ((TDs/Att) * 100) / 5 c = (9.5 - ((Int/Att) * 100)) / 4 d = ((Yards/Att) - 3) / 4 a, b, c and d can not be greater than 2.375 or less than zero. QB Rating = (a + b + c + d) / .06 NCAA Quarterback Rating Formula (National Collegiate Athletic League) a = (Comp/Att) * 100 b = (TDs/Att) * 100 c = (Int/Att) * 100 d = Yards/Att QB Rating = a+(3.3*-(2*c)+(8.4*d) TIP: Most high schools use the NCAA formula!

Have a pre-existing condition or are not old enough to have health insurance.

TCU plays Texas at 4 p.m. on FSSW.

So who is reponsible for those that don't have health insurance? Not those that can't afford health insurance, but those who don't qualify for health insurance?

Holy $hi+, I can't believe my eyes. The ultimate Cowboy homer, saying that the Redskins could win the whole thing. Rick just wanted you to know that the dark side embraces you.
