A great from another McCarney era.

I received this from a member here on the GoMeanGreen.com site earlier today and with his permission am able to share it with everyone: I just had to share what a good man Coach Mac is. My 15 year old son has been having some health problems, not life threatening but serious none the less. To lift his spirits, my wife & I offered to remodel his bedroom and let him pick out the colors, flooring, decorations,etc. He wanted his room painted Mean Green Green & White! I thought that maybe I could get an autographed football of this years team & make it the centerpiece of his room. I figured that I would just start at the top so I emailed Coach Mac and asked about the possibility of getting a ball signed. Imagine my surprise when none other than Coach Mac himself called me last Friday morning. He genuinely seemed concerned about my son and stated that not only could we get a ball signed but that we could come in and get a tour of the athletic facility and attend practice when camp starts. Mac said that whatever the Mean Green could do to make my son feel better, he would make sure it gets done! My wife's eyes filled with tears when I told her about the call later Friday evening. I don't like to put out a lot of personal information on the forum but I just had to share this. Coaches take a lot of flak and criticism, that's part of the job, but a lot of the good things that they do often go unnoticed. Coach Mac=Good Man!
