At Kidadl we pride ourselves on offering families original ideas to make the most of time spent together at home or out and about, wherever you are in the world. We strive to recommend the very best things that are suggested by our community and are things we would do ourselves - our aim is to be the trusted friend to parents.
We try our very best, but cannot guarantee perfection. We will always aim to give you accurate information at the date of publication - however, information does change, so it’s important you do your own research, double-check and make the decision that is right for your family.
Kidadl provides inspiration to entertain and educate your children. We recognise that not all activities and ideas are appropriate and suitable for all children and families or in all circumstances. Our recommended activities are based on age but these are a guide. We recommend that these ideas are used as inspiration, that ideas are undertaken with appropriate adult supervision, and that each adult uses their own discretion and knowledge of their children to consider the safety and suitability.
Kidadl cannot accept liability for the execution of these ideas, and parental supervision is advised at all times, as safety is paramount. Anyone using the information provided by Kidadl does so at their own risk and we can not accept liability if things go wrong.
John McKay was the Southern California (USC) head coach of the football team from 1960-1975, followed by being the head coach of NFL's Tampa Bay Buccaneers from 1976-1984.
During his sixteen seasons at USC, John McKay brought them recognition and awards time again. However, the 1975 season was a disappointment, following which he moved to coach at the NFL level, and although Tampa Bay Buccaneers started slowly under him, they picked up soon.
John McKay got enrolled at Purdue University before transferring to the University of Oregon. He played soccer in the halfback position. After graduating in 1950, John served as the assistant for the Ducks. In 1958, he started coaching under Don Clark at USC. However, Clark resigned after failing to defeat their rivals for three years. So, McKay became the head football coach in 1960.
John McKay was estimated to have a net worth of $20 million.
John McKay's highest annual salary was $2 million.
The height of John McKay is not known.
John McKay was born on July 5, 1923, and passed away on June 10, 2001. He was aged 77 at the time of his death.
John McKay was born to John Mckay and Gertrude McKay and had four siblings. Unfortunately, his father died in his early life.
After graduating from Shinnston High School, he got a football scholarship to play for Wake Forest, but his mother fell ill during that time. So, he had to return to West Virginia, and he worked there as an electrician. Then, he was deployed into the air force during WWII, after which he enrolled at Purdue University before transferring to the University of Oregon.
John McKay was married to Corky Hunter, with whom he had two sons, Rich McKay and JK McKay, and two daughters, Michele McKay Breese and Terri McKay Florio.
John McKay is best known for being the head football trainer of the USC football team.
In his first two seasons, he was not as successful. However, in 1962, they won with an 11-0 record, including a 42-37 Rose Bowl victory that led them to a national championship. Under him, the Trojans won four national championships, with the 1972 team considered the best team in college soccer history. Also, under him, Mike Garrett won the Heisman Trophy.
When he moved to the NFL level, he went with Tampa Bay Buccaneers. They had a winning season in 1978. In 1981 and 1982, they made two more playoff appearances. Also, the squad only won twice in 1983 but rebounded in 1984, which was John McKay's last season.
In 1988, McKay was inducted into the College Football Hall of Fame as a coach.
