As big as his challenges are this year (find a new RB, re-work the secondary, etc.) Coach Mac has to be the most positive coach in the conference. I hate to kick a dead horse, but I wonder what Todd Dodge's "minute" would have been like? I know what Darrell Dickey's minute would have been... "It's good to be back at work. We're gonna run a draw play or two this year with Jamario, let Awasome and Kennedy disrupt some offenses, and have a beer or two in New Orleans. See you all at the House of of Blues!"

GMG!!! :thumbsu:

I was thinking almost exactly the same thing! Only I think in your example, you attribute entirely too much eloquence to Coach Dickey. As I've said many times before, the finest example of Coach Dickey and his attitude was when he commented to a group of alumni right before our last Texas game "well, I hope that when Dr. B. looks up at the scoreboard at the end of the game tomorrow she remembers how much money we're making out of the game."

For all you people who rolled their eyes every time I mentioned Hayden Fry.......THIS (Coach Mac's video pep talks) is the kind of stuff I was talking about.

As an U of Iowa graduate, I see no problem in you mentioning the greatest Hawkeye and Mean Green Coach ever in Coach Fry on this board!

I'm digging these Mac Minutes.

The second video brought up a side-thought for me.

Coach McCarney often talks about his players becoming better students/men/husbands/fathers. I know I've heard him mention this several times myself. However, I don't see him getting his nuts kicked all the time like some do our former coach to this day... why is that?

I don't think either of them are football ogres, only concerned with results on the field, and I fully believe they both want all of the players they come in contact with to become better men. It's just one of them is a proven BCS HC, while the other was an experiment gone way wrong. Bash Dodge's coaching abilities all you want, that is deserved. But I don't think he should be bashed for something that our current coach also believes in.

Anyway, I'm looking forward to the next Minute with Mac.

      Opps! Jim Hobdy created the UNT Battle Flag in 1986 and WAS NOT involved with Rick Spear's design of the flying worm which was adopted by Hayden Fry and used during his tenure.My bad. It is a shame that we didn't stick with it and it certainly separated us from any other eagle mascot. However if you google history of Mean Green knickname you will find the credit for its universal usage by UNT attributed to Rick Villareal, not Hayden Fry.

      I don't think Hayden did this. Perhaps you could provide some reference as I can't recall the term "mean green " applying to our team as a whole until the 2000's. Yes the eagle is our mascot and mean green is the nickname of our team. Also I believe Jim Hobney [sic] was also involved in the creation of the flying worm bet can't exactly remember how. Maybe you know.

      This is a big game for Elf

      I agree with most all you say, but I don't think Coach has his team here yet. Everything is not yet fixed (ie defense). If he can elevate the Defensive play (ie new DC and bigger, better players) to match the Offense, then we will have something! Sorry, we are still a work in progress!

      This is a big game for Elf

      We have lost 4 of the last 5 against this program, 5-7 overall. UTSA has been playing FBS football since 2012. Since 2013, we have been in a conference with them. Through last season, they are 72-65. They've won 2 conference titles and have gone 1-4 in bowl games, while also being ranked. They've had three coaches. In the same category above, we are 63-71. No conference championships and have gone 1-6 in bowl games. We have had 4 head coaches. If we lose to them tonight, Morris will basically tell us that he just isn't going to be able to lift this program higher than it was when he took it over. UTSA in 2024 is not good. They're 4-5, with wins over Kennesaw State, Houston Christian, FAU, and (somehow) Memphis. Not counting having to sacrifice themselves to UT-Daddy, they've lost 4 games against peer programs, Texas State, ECU, Rice, and Tulsa. Maybe I'm wrong, but we should beat these guys, even on the road at a place that has been a house of horrors for us, if we have the right coach leading us. This is one of those games that will tell us in our hearts if we have someone worth a damn as the head coach or if he's no different than everyone else we always hire here.
