You may have never heard of Dan McCarney. He was the head football coach at Iowa St. from 1995-2006 amassing a record of 56-85. He took the Cyclones to five bowl games and won two of them. He resigned after the 2006 season when the team finished with a 4-8 record. He doesn't sound that important until you hear this story.His daughter Jillian faces charges of disorderly house and assault on a police officer. The assault on the police officer is the worst, which could result in a one year prison term.
Jillian, a student at Iowa St., was verbally abusive with an officer shouting, "Do you know who my dad is? He is Dan McCarney."
Also the police said, Jillian McCarney attempted to strike the officer with her left shoulder and kick the officer with her left leg, while continuing to be verbally abusive and threatening violence multiple times.
Jillian continued to screaming at the officer by saying, "guaranteed all her charges will be 'dropped' because her name is 'McCarney,' and they have 'a lot of money,'" according to police.
Jillian's father, Dan, now coaches at Florida and is the assistant head coach.
It's never a good thing to say to an police officer, "Do you know who I am." But it's just wrong to tell an officer "Do you know who my dad is."
Jillian will need her daddy to bail her out of jail now.
