New Coach Is..............

[Mo Green]

recruiting. I'll let rv know how I feel in the first week of Feb! Defense needs a direction change.

God bless- I pray he is a good coach we need one like Fry.

Two big JUCO DLs, and two big JUCO OLs, and one or two JUCO QBs. Remember, Seneca Wallace was a JUCO QB get for McCarney back in 2001...and out of California, no less!

Two or three high school DLs and OLs...and one or two JUCO QBs.

I also like that McCarney gave a kid from Granbury a shot back in the day: http://www.cyclones.com/ViewArticle.dbml?DB_OEM_ID=10700&ATCLID=325050

It seems like the other thing he needs to do is get this team to buy in. If he can't, then we have another stretch of failure.

[Cerebus]

Would love to see a JUCO CB and 2 TE's and a legit run blocking FB added to your list...

And a pony!

McCarney only has so much time and effort to spend, you can't expect him to land a whole new team right away.

McCarney will go a long way towards soothing a lot of people if he can land some linemen on both sides of the ball. Good linemen make everyone behind them better, that is where he should start.

All defense and some OL. Get them in, redshirt as many as we need and start the developing.

+ a good CB or two

The sad thing is that OL and DL are going to be pretty hard to fill on the JUCO front. Rivals has all of 15 OL better than a 1* from the JUCO ranks right now and 128 total. Same types of numbers on the DL front.

Would love to find some JUCO big uglies but it might be a lot harder this late in the year.

He needs to do everything he can, there have to be some soft commits out there, there are also probably some freshmen out there who could step in and contribute out there.

It's not an accident we had all our success when Booger, Darrel Daniels, Mike Pruitt, Brewster, Zuniga etc were our linemen.

Easy on the JUCO QB's. I think Riley has earned the right to compete for the job, and Thompson will be back and Teegarden has a lot of potential.

Not to mention that Tune may get his redshirt yet.

You're ignorant to think that we don't need help at the QB position. We only have Dunbar for one more season. I have to say I was looking forward to getting a Chico recruited QB, but with McCarneys track record with assistants, I think we can bank on having a bona fide QB recruit in here.

need D-Lineman...need Linebackers...need Secondary help all across the board...need another RB...need more O-Linemen...need some more playmakers at WR.

QB recruits should be high priority each and every year. It's about depth, and we have none.

Riley will be back in the slot next year. He does not have the arm to play college QB. There was absolutely no deep threat after Riley took back over the job. I love the kid and the guts he has shown, but the best position for him on this team is in the slot.

Tune is not promised a redshirt, and if history is any indicator, he won't be given one (UNT history on 6th year requests is god awful).

That leaves Thompson as your only QB on scholarship, and he is returning from an injury. That is unacceptable. To me, this is THE most important position to address in recruiting.

Teagarden was recruited as a receiver. Putting back at QB is not desirable.

Speaking of Tune...how many of our season ending injury players of this past season can we expect a med RS? I know the NCAA is pretty stingy with schools like us to give em' out but I wonder who might still get the med RS at UNT? And now long till we know?

Would be interesting to see Tune back. He would have played under 4 different UNT head coaches at that point.

Wow. Had never thought of that.

He could become our Ramon Flanigan, who I swear QB'ed SMU for the entire decade of the 90's.

It is my understanding that Tune is not looking for a redshirt.

That's too bad, I am pretty sure that based on Seniority Rules Coach MacCarney would have to name him QB coach at least, maybe co-offensive coordinator.

Think about it, if he gets a 6th year, that means his freshmen team mates would have been in 6th or 7th grade when he first came here.

Holy crap. I can't believe you just made that comparison.

Well that doesn't mean you would have to fight him, it means some fan at another school would have to fight him in the stands when he was that schools OC.
