Very nicely written story by Angela Lento. For once somebody doesn't spend time trashing Jerry or our school when doing a story.
“I feel like I have been unleashed,” says McKay. “It’s exciting to be at a place where everyone shares the same mission and conviction.”

McKay has never beat anyone over the head with a bible, but he has also never apologized for his beliefs. Nor should he. Now he has the opportunity to coach in an environment that embraces those convictions.
She clearly gets it.

The professor in me loves the Robert Frost reference in the title of the article, and I hope that Angela is right on with her conclusion:
In McKay’s mind it’s almost as if everything he had done previously was nothing more then preparation for this assignment, even if it wasn’t the most direct route.

“God can do exceedingly and abundantly above all that we can ask or think,” says McKay.

McKay will enjoy a lot of coaching and personal success at Liberty.

“The potential for sustained success is here,” says McKay. “It will take a lot of hard work to even think about being able to enjoy some of the success that Winthrop has accomplished, but that is the program that us and everyone else in the Big South is chasing right now. I really believe that we can build this program into a perennial winner.”
Sorry...just had to post it before any of the Winthrop fans on the board did. The Eagles have a giant target on their backs

Target, yes...but Marshall is gone after turning yellow from purple at the prospects of Ritchie knocking him off his perch.

I doubt that. Remeber McKay hasn't won a game here yet at LU. Will he? Most certainly. A vast improvent over our previous coach? Most certainly. But I doubt Marshall was really concerned about what someone else was doing or going to do. Hopefully he can duplicate what Marshall did with WU here at LU. Priceless.

I'm sorry, I must have not thought about posting this article, or I thought it had been already posted, but for me this article is old news. I read it at least a month ago, maybe 2. :lol:

It was definitely a good article though.

We might note with true humility that Frost is a New England poet.
