". . . because our first-game loss to UNT will come back to haunt us."

Okay, he didn't say that last part, but he did say the first.

A further small glimmer of hope.

Pretty soon he'll be talking about how they are the smallest, slowest football team in the P5...

ONly difference is that nobody would believe Charlie Strong if he said that. When Mac said it, is was very believable for two huge reasons: 1.) We were coming off of a stretch of football where we went 8-40 in the previous 4 years of the Todd Dodge Experiment. 2.) At least with the small part, he was spot-on. When he got here, our lines looked like a below-average FCS team in size that spring. By the start of the season, the OL began to look bigger, and by the end of the year, it looked legitmate. Last year, our DL was saw the same type of improvement. This is what Mac is known for and why is a perfect fit for UNT right now. Development of the lines will make us a contender in CUSA for a years to come, just as it did in the the old SBC days under Dickey, when we could run the ball at will on any of those SBC teams and our DL was too talented to stop. It won't be sexy, but running a ball-control offense will make our defense better, just as it did in those SBC "glory" years. The biggest difference between then and now is that we actually play a few teams people have heard of and care about, plus we have a charismatic coach at the helm, not a guy who loathed the fans and the school.

Lots of words to justify coach speak.
