DENTON, Texas- The first installment of the North Texas Coaches Caravan kicked off Tuesday night at Apogee Stadium with a packed club level to hear from Dan McCarney, Ken Murczek, Mike Petersen and Tony Benford talk about their programs, and the historic move to C-USA.
This was the first stop on a four-city tour to help celebrate the historical announcement that the Mean Green will compete as a member of Conference USA in all sports beginning in 2013.
In addition to the Conference USA news, this was the first time that fans, alumni and the general public had a chance to meet the newest members of the Mean Green head coaching family. New men's basketball coach Tony Benford and new head women's basketball coach Mike Petersen were a hit with fans and donors, as they met the general public for the first time as head coaches at North Texas.
Head football coach Dan McCarney brought his usual energy and passion to the event, while Head volleyball coach Ken Murczek engaged the crowd with his speech.
The three upcoming tour stops will feature family-friendly activities with special guests including Scrappy, and members of the cheer and dance teams. The events are FREE and open to the public. Food and non-alcoholic drinks will be provided, and a cash bar will be available.The tour schedule is listed below.
