| Comes to NU to replace Howard Feggins as the Wide Receiver coach. He had been in the same position at UNLV this year.
“Garrick McGee is widely considered to be one of the brightest young men in coaching,” UNLV head coach John Robinson said. “He’ll have an immediate impact on our program and has a lot of talent coming back with which to work.”
During the 2002 season, which included a trip to the Motor City Bowl, Toledo receivers caught 309 passes for 3,611 yards and 25 touchdowns while senior Carl Ford became the first 1,000-yard receiver in Rocket history, finishing with 79 grabs for 1,042 yards and a school-record-tying nine scores before being drafted by the Green Bay Packers. Overall, UT finished fifth in the nation in total offense with 472 yards per game.
Before joining Toledo, McGee spent two seasons as offensive quality control coach with the NFL’s Jacksonville Jaguars. He headed to the pro ranks after coaching the receivers at Northern Iowa in 1999. He began his coaching career at Langston (Okla.) University, where he spent three years (1996-98) coaching defensive backs and then quarterbacks, receivers and special teams.
He's worked with NU Offensive Coordinator Mike dunbar at Northern Iowa, and has experience coaching in the NFL. |
