3rdStone: John McKay: Remembering a Football Legend Through Quotes

John McKay is remembered by some to be a college football Hall of Fame head coach that won four National Championships.
Others recall he was the very first head coach of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, a team that lost their first 26 games.
Dick Vermeil called McKay “Dial-a-Quote,” having faced him as a head coach of UCLA and the Philadelphia Eagles.
Here is a few of his best in no particular order.
“It bothers me that they (the national media) have picked us to be the worst team in football. Because what they are doing now is challenging your physical and your mental capacity and my ability to coach you. Now, this hurts me. Second-worst team, I could stand it. But not the worst team.”
“We’ve broken down the expansion teams and they’ve averaged winning 2.7 games their first year, which to me is rather difficult. I figured out the 2, but the .7 has got me wondering what the hell is going on.”
