Dan McCarney Fired by North Texas: Latest Details, Comments and Reaction

North Texas Mean Green head football coach Dan McCarney was fired by the school Saturday, according to the Denton Record-Chronicle's Brett Vito.

The firing came after the 0-5 Mean Green lost to the Portland State Vikings of the FCS, 66-7. It was the third straight game in which North Texas allowed more than 49 points and the largest margin of defeat ever for an FBS team against an FCS team, according to Zach Barnett of FootballScoop.com.

Losses don't come any more embarrassing than this, as Fox Sports' Bruce Feldman pointed out the game was over long before the fourth quarter:

FCS PortlandState is beating North Texas 59-0 after three quarters.
