99%

So will all hell break loose if he declines?

C'mon we are giving u a half million and starting in a brand new stadium , what's there to think about ?

Canales said he is meeting with Mccarney this week. That makes me think it is a done deal. I'm holding onto that 1% chance until the very end though. I think we should have moved to our second choice as soon as he said he had to think about it.

Maybe that 10% goes away when canales decides to stay as asst HC and OC. Then all of Mean Green land is in peace.

[Mean Green 93-98]

Please tell me you are not a North Texas graduate.

Dan Mccarney always gives 109%...

It's a life changing decision. You're gonna jump on him for not consulting his family first?

Heck, I was offered a promotion that tripled my salary, but moved me 9 hours away from friends and family, so I spent a couple of days to talk to them about it. I don't think you can judge him for that.

Probably a tcu student who is a UNT fan

I agree it's PROBABLY not a big deal, or even a little one... it just strikes me as a little odd that Neinas himself considers discretion "and avoiding these sort of embarrassments" as one of the primary reasons schools should hire him. In the ESPN report, they specifically cited Michigan's embarrassment (being publicly waffled on and turned down) as exactly what Neinas aims to prevent.

It just surprises me greatly that McCarney, seemingly as much of a "Neinas guy" as there is, has now had at LEAST 36-48 hours of public waffling - defined by anything less than 100% certainty he's taking the job. The only alternative i see is that it's never been "done" and there's a leak somewhere in the system, which is another thing Neinas aims to prevent. Very, very strange, even if McCarney does what we all expect him to do and accepts the gig.

Just read the article. The almost upset of Florida State happened in 2002, not 2000. Not a big deal, but I'd expect better from a "professional".

Yeah, I'm as big a Canales fan as any but I think people are being really unfair and blowing this out of proportion.

I guarantee, Mike Canales did the exact same thing when he was offered the job here a year ago.

He wasn't sitting in his living room in Florida with his UNT shirt on just jumping to get to Denton, TX.

It does trouble me that he is having to mull it over. Do you want it, yes or no...YES OR NO?!

I want a coach who gives 110%

Coaching is one of those professions that move around alot. When you start a family as a coach, you understand that there will be uprooting and moving. If you aren't ok with that, go work at the mall.

That puzzles me too. He should know by now if he wants the job or not. When he first applied a month ago, he should have talked it over with his family then and run the numbers financially to see what he could live with as far as salary. At this point, you should either know if you want the job or not.
