For all of you that are not excited about the Dan Mccarney hire,i hope you give him a chance. I am a life long Cyclone fan. I feel that Dan Mccarney did more for our program than anyone else in the history of ISU. I have known numerous players who have played for him. Everyone of them have nothing but great things to say about him. He is a players coach. Don't worry about recruiting, he has made his living recruiting Texas. One friend I had was 100 percent going to Nebraska, he was a big time recruit. He told me the second Mac stepped into his living room he knew that he would become a Cyclone. Dont look at his win loss record. What he did at ISU was nearly impossible. He saved our football team. I cant think of to many fans that didnt have a tear in their eye as we carried him off the field after his final victory knowing he would never coach another game in Jack Trice Stadium. He is a great coach and a great man and is extremely well respected around the Big 12, the Country, and by every single one of his players. I mean come on he had 2 heisman trophy finalists during his run at ISU!!!!! He took us to multiple bowl games, all at Iowa State playing a big 12 sched. I still get chills when I hear him speak, great motivator and I hope he someday returns as our Athletic Director. My two cents worth, just give him a shot. Take his overall record w/ a grain of salt, his first years he had reallllly bad teams.
