Charles McMillian is a football coach, he says, because of one man: Gary Patterson.
Now the highly successful head coach at TCU, Patterson was the secondary coach at Utah State when McMillian played cornerback for the Aggies in the 1990s.
“He’s the one that said (during) my last year, ‘Hey, I think you’d be a great coach,’ ” McMillian, now the safeties coach at New Mexico, said after a recent Lobos practice.
