Greg McMahon, the pride of Rantoul, has found another happy place. This time in Baton Rouge, La.
The longtime special teams coach at Illinois turned longtime special teams coach with the New Orleans Saints just completed his first year with the LSU Tigers.
"I like the culture here," McMahon said. "From the administration to the coaching staff to the players. It's a neat place for young people to go and get a degree and play football at a very, very high level."
McMahon's first season went well. Both for the team and for his specialists.
The Tigers finished 10-3, beating undefeated UCF in the Fiesta Bowl.
