And there is this recommendation for resolving Iowa State's issues:

Go get North Texas' Dan McCarney. Now. For 2016. Seriously. The Clones haven't been the same since McCarney left in 2006 after leading Iowa State to five bowls in 12 seasons.

He's suggesting they take away McCarney?

Will they do a you take our coach we give you a body bag game swap?

GoMeanGreen1999 · September 22, 2015

I think they should do that. Great advice!

oldguystudent · September 22, 2015

Will he spend every Iowa State radio show speaking non-stop about all the championships he won in Denton?

Ben Gooding · September 22, 2015

Pleeeeaaaassseeeee take him, seriously. Buy out his contract and let him ride away into the Iowa St sunset. This is a best case scenario for North Texas.

Listening to an old man reminiscing about Iowa to Texans. Is like a dude listening listening to a group of women talk about their favorite romance book on Bunco night......

It would be nice. If he left and RV were removed then a fresh start could happen. It's my understanding that the players are fed up with Mac and if it's true then it won't get better. Who can blame them? He's kind of crapped on them publicly several times. (They are small & weak. Or its too hard to recruit here. Translation: my players suck because I can't get the ones I want.)

Take my head coach ... please!

I wouldn't cry about it. Five years is enough time to build a base, and without immediate changes it's looking like that base isn't going to happen here in year five. There are just too many things not heading in the right direction around here.

Take him! And fire RV. The new president has already made some big administrative changes when he got to UNT. It's time he does the same with UNT athletics.

@Cerebus - wrong comedian!

I feel like such a shlemiel.

(I couldn't find a single Henny Youngman gif on the entire internet, so we're going to have to go with Zero Mostel as his understudy.)

Smatrek will act sooner or later.

Move McCarney to AD?

Move McCarney to AD?

You know, that might be the best suggestion we could make at this point. Imagine him being able to go out and connect with the alumni and businesses to raise funds? You don't have to buy his contract out, but you instead you buy out RV. Then you go hire a new head coach--he probably won't get paid anywhere close to what Mac gets paid, especially with the buyout of RV, but that could still be ok if you got a rising FCS head coach that would love the opportunity to move upward.

Mac would probably be a pretty damn good AD--he knows how to glad-hand, motivate, and, is good at PR.ANd, evne better, he would never have to recruit again or run his 1970 offensive scheme anymore.
