Our Reading
The game followed a familiar script.
McGinnis’s coaching career was marked by slow starts and late pushes, but ultimately, he left a lasting impact on the teams he worked for.
He was a “ball coach” through and through, and his passion for the game was unmatched, but his tenure with the Cardinals was marked by a 4-12 season in 2003.
After being fired, McGinnis landed with the Titans, where he became a mainstay in Nashville, holding various coaching roles until 2011.
Despite his ups and downs, McGinnis’s presence in the lives of those who knew him will never be forgotten.

Original Observation: This was a coach who loved the game, but the game didn’t always love him back.
