Getting back on that horse

Word out of the Northern Illinois camp is that former Cyclones’ coach Dan McCarney has interviewed for the coaching vacancy there. Good fit? Bad fit? You can’t blame the guy for wanting to get right back on the horse. I spent the past week working on a 150th anniversary of Iowa State story on football. Every source I talked to brought me back to two names; Jack Trice and Dan McCarney. If McCarney can do the things to Northern Illinois he did at Iowa State, they’ll probably name a stadium after him too.
