Expectations are high for next season’s UNT football team

After the Mean Green football team won the Heart of Dallas Bowl game on New Year’s Day, head coach Dan McCarney hoisted the trophy and said, “This isn’t the end, it is only the beginning,” building expectations for the team next season and in the future.

The team looks to keep up the success moving forward, but the loss of many core players to graduation has challenged the coaching staff to develop its players and recruit to put together another Conference USA championship contender. McCarney spoke of how crucial a role the 22 graduating players had this season.

“We’re going to miss their talent and football ability, but even more so their leadership and character,” he said. “My expectations for the next class – they have to lead this team and that starts right now.”

Yes, expectations are high and only growing. No excuses. I don't care who we lost, we have to maintain legitimate expectations. GMG

So assume he means 5 straight bowl games and a Top 25 win and Top 25 ranking

Top 25 would be great and is on the horizon. At 9-4 we got votes on the last poll. We coulda, woulda, shoulda finished 11-2 and that would have possibly snuck us in the top 25. So it is a possibility and I think it should be a team goal. Why not North Texas?
