There were several times throughout the Dickey days where Darrell's honesty rubbed many in the Mean Green Nation the wrong way, including myself often times. What surprises me is how refreshing it is for me to hear Dan McCarney be brutally honest about this team, no matter how bad he paints the picture...
...we're weak
...we're one of th worst tackling teams in the nation
...we lack physicality
...it has been very difficult to change the culture of losing
Heck, McCarney has even come out and publicly stated he pretty much doesn't have a clue when he is going to be able to turn this thing around, but guaranteed that it will happen.
You know what? I believe in him, and he has done nothing but to say how bad a position we are currently in, and I am more excited about this season than I have been in quite some time, and most of my excitement has to do with McCarney than that beautiful new stadium.
I guess it is a sense of confidence I have in his assessment, and my belief in his ability to fix the issues that peaks my interest. I, as have many other Mean Green backers, have heard enough over the past four years about how close we are, and how we are right where we need to be. Knowing that the people in charge understand where we are is reassuring.
Brutal honesty, knowing what is reality and being able to address it...resfreshing!

No matter who got the job, you would be hearing the same thing, unless the coach was an idiot.
On the bright side, we at least know Coach McCarney isn't an idiot when it comes to media and fan relations. Let's hope (because we still don't know) that this translates into being the right head coach for UNT football.
