McCarney takes North Texas job, source confirms

Dan McCarney, Florida's fiery defensive line coach for the last three years, has resigned to accept the head coaching position at North Texas, a source told The Gainesville Sun this morning.

McCarney was the head coach at Iowa State from 1995-2006 before being fired there. He coached at South Florida for a year before accepting a job in February of 2008 with Urban Meyer's staff.

This is the third straight year Meyer has lost an assistant coach to a head coaching job elsewhere.
