I am so sorry to hear this about Coach McKissick. I will keep his family in my thoughts and prayers. Summerville lost a true legend. I am honored to have had him autograph his book Called to Coach for me.

To put his win total in prospective, a coach would need 41 seasons at 15-0 just to come close to his record. That is crazy!

I didn't know he was born in Greenwood. Learn something new everyday. Rest easy Coach McKissick. Prayers for his family and friends.

Very saddened by the news of Coach McKissick's passing but know he is in a better place. He was one on the greatest football coaches at any level this country has ever seen. I am proud to be able to state I pull for the team which was once coached by this legend. He touched thousands of lives throughout his coaching career at Summerville and will be missed very much. Prayers to his family during this tough time....
