Calvary Chapel has hired colorful Pat McInally as its football coach, the former Brethren Christian coach and College Football Hall of Fame player confirmed Thursday night.
McInally helped build Brethren Christian into a small-school Orange County powerhouse before the Warriors didn’t play football in 2017 because of lack of players.
Brethren Christian went 10-0 on the field in 2016, including victories against St. Margaret’s and Rancho Christian. But the Warriors later forfeited a season-opening victory against Ocean View because of ineligible player and didn’t make the playoffs in CIF-SS Division 10 as a freelance team because there were no spots in the bracket for a team not associated with a league.
In 2015, Brethren Christian went 11-2 and lost 46-41 in the CIF Division 13 semifinals to Grace Brethren, which later forfeited on short-notice before the championship game.
The setbacks were tough for McInally, 65, and Brethren Christian but he is excited to return to another small-school program, not far from his home.
“It’s probably the one job I would have done,” he said of Calvary Chapel, which went 1-9 last season under first-year coach Rudy Nava. “The whole atmosphere is great there.”
McInally also is excited coach again with his son, Jack, 23, who will serve as offensive coordinator. Jack was an offensive coordinator at Long Beach Poly last season.
McInally also has reunited with defensive coordinator Keith Laszlo, whom he coached with at Brethren Christian in 2016. All three coaches helped the South win the O.C. all-star game in the summer of 2017.
McInally said Calvary Chapel’s facilities, which include a new weight room, and administrative support made the program attractive to him. He is interested in hosting clinics and mentoring college-bound athletes.
McInally was a standout at Villa Park and Harvard before becoming a Pro Bowl player for the Cincinnati Bengals. He is well-known for his perfect score on the NFL’s Wonderlic Test and played in the 1981 Super Bowl.
