McCarney Vows North Texas Will Lose Losing Ways

[Harry]

In the past six years, North Texas has played 71 football games. It lost 58.

Some defeats were worse than others. Among the carnage included losses to Tulsa (54-2), Oklahoma (79-10), Rice (77-20) and Arkansas (66-7). In 2007, the Mean Green scored 62 points -- and still lost to Navy 74-62.

The Mean Green have been anything but mean since 2005. Here's one man's opinion on the perception of the North Texas program:

"The perception on the outside is football stinks at North Texas. The perception is there's no commitment, no winning, no success and it hasn't been run the right way. If you want to go small time, you go to North Texas. If you want to go big time you go somewhere else."

That analysis comes from Dan McCarney, who just happens to be the new coach at North Texas.

"That's what we stepped into," McCarney said.

And he has certainly stepped into it big time -- college football's losingest, most hapless program in the past six seasons.

But that perception will not be reality much longer under McCarney. That's a promise -- and a threat

Tied in fifth with Middle? I'd take that. But the author is predicting WKU ahead of u la la. I can see that.
