COLUMBIA, MO. • Six years ago, Ted Monachino was winning a Super Bowl as a Baltimore Ravens assistant, serving as the position coach for Hall of Fame linebacker Ray Lewis.
Three years ago, Garrick McGee was Louisville’s offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach, calling plays for a young Lamar Jackson, who a year later would win the Heisman Trophy. It was the third of McGee’s four stops as a Power 5 coordinator.
This year, Monachino and McGee share an office inside the Mizzou Athletics Training Complex as first-year staffers under Barry Odom, both holding new positions as part of the largest staff in team history.
