I never played for Coach McLean. But, I was a manager for his 78 and 79 teams. He always instilled great moral values to his teams. He was a great Coach and man. I can still hear him saying "hey I'm telling you". Hugh and Mac you had a special Dad. Thanks for sharing him. He will be missed. Our prayers are with you. Mark (Mouse) Lewis Wake Forest, NC
