UNT coach McCarney had stroke
McCarney, 58, told the paper he suffered a stroke after working out Sunday and was rushed to a hospital via helicopter.
"I was just sitting down to eat a sandwich when my left side went numb," McCarney told the Register. "Talk about a scary feeling. Something happened on the left side in the back of my brain. My left side -- all of a sudden everything went numb."
McCarney, who also coached at Iowa State from 1995-2006, is undergoing tests. He said doctors expect a full recovery and no permanent damage.
"I've got too much Irish in me to stay down very long," McCarney told the Register. "... I feel good right now. I've got a little tingling feeling, but hey, if that's the worst of it, I'd say I'm a pretty lucky guy. Nothing wrong with me that a little Grey Goose won't cure."
