[NU Sports] New OC - Mick McCall?

[johnadeg at comcast.net]

McCall had a long and successful career coaching a high school team in Colorado which means that Barnett is probably quite familiar with him.  My  guess is that Gary vetted him for Fitzgerald and recommended him as someone who can get the job done.
