Coach Magee has brought an energy and integrity to this program along with a rich knowledge of the game. He is a former Tampa Bay Buccaneer and South Florida Assistant. He came to Morgantown in 2001 as a running backs coach and his players have since never relinquished the Big East Rushing title. Any time DaGeek has visited with this wonderful coach he has been greeted with a smile and a handshake. He is always willing to share his thoughts with anybody who seeks them. He spent 5 minutes with DaGeek and DaGeek's father one year just discussing the program. He didn't hurry on to the next person he made us feel like we were a part of the program and that impression has lasted. It is fun to watch he and the other coaches succeed. He has gotten the job done in all of his previous rolls. He currently is the running backs coach, the offensive coordinator and assistant head coach. He is being sought after openly by Georgia Tech among others to be their next head coach. Today he received the prestigious "2007 Assistant Coach of the Year" from the American Football Coaches Association. He is also a finalist for the Broyles award. This is what happens when a program such as ours has success. It is great that we are blessed to have his kind of talent in Morgantown. It is a shame that we will likely lose him to another program, but it is a direct byproduct of success. Everybody with WVLaGeek's West Virginia Sports wishes him a heart-felt congratulations and continued success. Thank you, Coach Magee for making us proud.

Doesn't hurt when the third and 4th string tailbacks, you know the slow ones, are running 4.4s.
