This one is on you, Coach Mac

UNT90 · November 24, 2012

When you give up offensively while up 7 with 10 minutes to go in the 4th quarter, you lose football games.

I've heard of teams quitting, but today, the coaching staff quit on the team.

Unforgivable.

McCarney is an absolute joke of a coach. -1 me all you want, but he has proven himself incapable of being able to win close games. This game was on him. What else would we expect from a guy with a 30 under .500 record.

I think that is a bit rough. He has taken on two reclamation projects in Iowa State and North Texas. It is yet to be seen here. We will be able to tell over the next two years. He had some success as well as failure at Iowa State. I think he has made improvements here. Get in a full class and we will be able to fully judge his success or not. Once again patience is needed. I do agree that today should have been a win, though.

Did someone suggest the QB throw the ball at some point in time?

Certainly not in the 4Q.

100% coaching fail.

Did he really accomplish that much at Iowa State? He did ok, but I forgot how tough their situation is playing in the big 12 and all.

So we wait ANOTHER year?

Some folk will DIE before UNT has a winning season again!!

If 56-85 is what you call a successful reclamation project then something is wrong.

Mac didn't throw the pick 6.

If you're off the Mean Green band wagon why don't you get off the board.

Look dude, I am talking about one game. And make no mistake, the coach quit on his players today.

DT throws a pick 6 and Dmac's solution is not to throw the ball again. Even after the WKU field goal.

He only threw the ball when WKU knew we had no other choice. You know, after we had allowed them to take the lead.

THAT IS COMPLETE HEAD COACH GIVE UP ON A TEAM.

And that is unforgivable.

No, he just put his QB in that position by consistently refusing to throw the ball down field, not only in this game, but the last half of the season.

When you throw the same pattern 10 times in a game, it just might get picked the 11th time.

Did you watch the game?

UNTBill · November 24, 2012

I thought we had coaches with skins on the wall. Just didn't know it was a great big cheerleading poster.

THOR · November 24, 2012

Who called "telegraph pass to TE?" Mac or Canales. One needs to go.

You get off the board if you can't handle fans sick of losses.

I'll take this to the opposite spectrum. Attitudes like this keep people like Dodge here for 4 years. There is not enough accountability here at North Texas.

As far as I'm concerned, RV's seat is warm too especially with the way basketball is going.

meanrob · November 24, 2012

I would have rather lost this game with DT throwing 5 pick 6s rather than us cower in a shell and play scared.

It's the last game of another bad season. Yeah, sure, let's play scared.

The coaching staff lost the games to Troy and WKU. Flat out.

TheColonyEagle · November 24, 2012

Mac didn't throw the pick 6.

Nope. The QB Mac has sworn to all year did. Do we have any other QBs that could have played better? Especially after the Troy game? Who knows. The head coach wouldn't try anything different. Which is weird since he said no one on this team is entitled to their spot.

But maybe that was just Mac excelling at press conferences. And he does excel at press conferences.

In all fairness to Mac and Chico, who own the plays being called on the field, who in the hell are you going to throw to down field? Between a QB who can't hit open receivers on 10 yard routes and no receiver over 5'9 who can actually get down field fast enough to be in the vicinity of a long throw, how is throwing down field even an option?

Remind me again, who is responsible for recruiting and developing talent?

slugg · November 24, 2012

WE HAD NO FREEKN BUSINESS LOSING THIS GAME! Remember he also burnt 45 secs and two time-outs at the end of the half. Look, in addition to the Troy loss, HEAP THIS OUTCOME ON MAC. Sure we are young and in transition, sure we have a lot of injuries...but if you ask me, as far as adjustments on defense, utilization of talent and play calling on offense, coaching has been poor all season. This loss was horrible!!!

I haven't heard from you lately, but I'm glad you're back.

Alright then ... lets dump the entire sorry bunch of losers.

Once you have paid off all the contracts, where do we stand and what can we do?

The UNT football program sucks and it has since 2005.

Nice new stadium, great training facilities all mean squat if you don't have good coaching and a team that wins, otherwise we should all quit complaining about low attendance and so on.

Hunter Green · November 24, 2012

As a program, we have made one mistake after another, beginning with the God-awful to drop down to 1-AA years ago, and we are feeling the effects of that decision today. Shitty conferences, shitty support, shitty coaches and up until a couple of years ago, shitty facilities. Because of all this, we have found ourselves on the outside looking as far as football is concerned. Coach Mac is building a team the right way, through high school recruits and red shirting, but we have run out of time. The Dodge experience set us back ten years, and we're about to pay the price for the un-forseeable future. We suck now, but a real program takes a long time to build. Unfortunetly, we have run out of time. We'll be relegated to second tier going forward because of the decisions of the past.

Travis Scott · November 24, 2012

Remind me again, who is responsible for recruiting and developing talent?

Do you honestly think that when Mac came here he would be able to land 4 and 5 star players??? No...no star player in their right mind would have come to North Texas after what Dodge left. I think he got what he could have from what he was able to get. Next year's class looks good and a lot of redshirt freshman will be able to play.

With all respect, I'm not sure what clock you are referring to? How have we run out of time? Because we are moving conferences?

Eppie96 · November 24, 2012

Agree with Hunter Green- too many mistakes of the past to overcome in less then 6 years.

I am a big Mac fan, but this one is on him. Seriously? Running the ball against 9 in the box to try to "protect" a lead with over 10 minutes left in the 4th.

I am also very disappointed in DT. I hoping to see good things from Berglund.
