Given how much he was making to carry a clipboard, I'm not so sure. Somewhere other than with Petrino, he might be expected to, you know, coach.

He was making $850k. That's one helluva gig if you can get it.

Outside such a carefully structured situation, McGee is a complete dumpster fire. I suspect that Lovie, who has deficits in his own coaching abilities, will be expecting McGee to do more than sit around, play on Twitter and recruit, which is all McGee is good for. We all know how that will go.

I suppose McGee feels like it's about time for him to test the waters at being a real coach again outside of Petrino's tutelage. He should probably freshen up his understanding on...

1) the rules of the first possession coin toss
2) NCAA paperwork
3) player relations (engaging in ego feuds with star players)
4) media relations (calling them inappropriate nicknames)
5) fan relations (message board reading)

Also, on fan relations...if Lovie lets him get on the air, don't berate the only fan asking a question at every single coach's show, especially when they've done nothing to warrant it.
