Long before Dave McGinnis became a known quantity throughout the NFL, he was a defensive back at TCU who aspired to be a college coach with a hopeful eye of one day returning to his alma mater.

McGinnis, who played at TCU from 1970 to ‘72 and coached there on two separate occasions, was a longtime NFL defensive assistant, and the Arizona Cardinals head coach for three-plus years, died on Monday at his home in Nashville.

The Tennessee Titans announced that McGinnis, who had served as an analyst with its radio broadcast team for the past nine years, passed with his family at his side. He was 74.

“My heart aches with the loss of Coach Mac, who was so much more than a coach and broadcaster — he was family,” Titans controlling owner Amy Adams Strunk said in a statement.

“He cared deeply about the people around him, and that kindness and authenticity left a lasting impact on everyone who knew him. He held a very special place in our family, and his presence in our lives and within this franchise will never be forgotten. We will miss him dearly, and we will always be grateful for the legacy he leaves behind.”
