DURHAM, N.C. – Former Duke football letterman and head coach Mike McGee, the 1959 Outland Trophy recipient and a member of the College Football Hall of Fame, passed away Friday at his home in Montrose, Colo. He was 80 years old.
“Coach McGee was a man we could all admire,” Duke head coach David Cutcliffe said. “Obviously, he played the game at the highest level and had success as both a coach and administrator, but his integrity, kindness and leadership qualities commanded respect from everyone who knew him. Our deepest condolences are extended to his family and loved ones.
