[QUOTE="UofI08, post: 1199575, member: 5239"] I don't think enough can be said about Lovie's ability to relate and create personal bonds with players and coaches alike. Lovie was the LB coach at Arizona State when he was recruiting McGee as a quarterback. They spend all of 1 season, 1991, together there, on opposite sides of the ball, when Lovie was still a very young coach (33 years old). 25 years later, McGee is comfortable leaving a great, high paying coordinator position to join Lovie at an underachieving school. McGee must have immense respect for Lovie. This is unbelievable and really speaks to Lovie's character and reputation. [/QUOTE]
