Didn’t know that about his father! Colby Carthel was my HS kickers HC at Commerce and recruited me as a LS out of HS but I was more interested in Tech and UNT as they were interested in me. I like McCarney simply because he and his staff were very interested in me but my Official visit was the UNT vs Portland St game..so that was over afterwards and I was told once Littrell became HC that they weren’t interested anymore as I’d blown out my knee again. Colby Carthel though was my top pick to be the next HC as I trusted what he’d done at Commerce which was a perfect example of what we needed as well as him getting SFA even slightly respectable was impressive as hell.
It’d be nice to get someone like Don Carthel who would go out in the community and get involved as thats what UNT needs in a HC. Maybe Colby would do the same thing if he were here and his dad is the ST coach ive seen so you’d get some old wisdom and a defensive minded coaching staff.
