Coach McCarney and the "Mean Green" get some national exposure tomorrow night (Tues) on ESPN2.

Notice anyone that looks familiar on his staff?

I'm thinking theres at least a half dozen coaches on the "Mean Green" staff that formerly wore the "Cardinal and Gold".... Dan McCarney, John Skladany, Mike Grant, Nick Quartaro, Noah Joseph and Mike Nelson.

His defense and his let our secondary people play 5 to 7 off the wr was a joke.

You have no clue what you are taking about. I wouldn't trade Wally for anyone, but Skladany was a great defensive coach and I think I missed him more then anyone after Mccarney left

I think the kicking game had a little to do with that, don't you?

Absolutely. As well as deviating from successful offensive game plans.

That's also attributable to lack of depth, a consistent problem during the McCarney years.

I was more referring to the consistent pattern of changing our defensive game plan from an aggressive, attacking style, to suddenly playing our corners 10 yards of the ball late in the game and allowing teams to pick us apart up and down the field.

It might have been more attributable to the head coach, but on both of sides the ball we consistently changed our game plans late in big games where we held a lead from an aggressive game plan, to a conservative plan, and proceeded to **** the game away.

Agreed, our prevent defense under DMAC was a disaster.

Ironically, one of Wally's defensive strengths has been the prevent. He and CPR are masters at sitting on leads, even small ones. I felt like the amount of yards TCU gained on us was a little inflated because our defense did such a good job making TCU burn clock on their last drive.

Indeed. Sometimes it frustrates me (get DMac flashbacks), but I can't think of any time it has burned us yet under those two.

LMAO, what a terrible post. You have no idea what you're talking about clearly. That's called playing zone. Wally does it, K-State did it successfully against us. Everyone does it in the Big 12. You might have a gripe about the conservative stuff when we had a lead but complaining about playing "5-7" yards off of WR's is incredibly ignorant.

I would have thought Mike Grant would be coaching at a higher level than NT...nothing wrong with that level at all but I just though Mike G had a lot to offer other programs.

For three quarters, he was great.

His fourth quarter defense cost us the North two years in a row.

That's philosophy from the head coach there Al.

It changed from pacing and clapping for three quarters to hoping and praying that the clock runs out before they catch up, while your hands are wrapped tightly around your neck.

Good to see that all these guys got job...The fraternity is small.

It has to be a letdown to go from the longest tenured staff in a BCS conference to the mean green...THAT is a long fall...
