🏈 McClain's football smarts off the charts

"Some guys understand their position. But I would venture to guess Ro knows what every player is supposed to do on every play on defense."

Our center was like this when I was in high school. He literally had to tell each lineman who they blocked on every play after I called the play and the count. I had to handle the receivers and the backs. Needless to say, my center was validictorian and is now the global marketing director for RJ Wrigley.

So in about 15 years....Coach McClain?

Give Ro awhile in the league and you very well could see him coaching like John Copeland or some others that have come through the ranks.

He actually said awhile back he has no desire to be a coach. That could obviously change from now until then but he said when he's no preparing for a game (watching tape, game planning, etc.) or at practice or in a game he rarely even thinks about football.

Is there ANY chance at all that McClain comes back next year? I mean, the thought of him as a Senior with Hightower and those other young guys.....It's just frightening to any team on the schedule...
