Quick Summary

Kenny McClendon, the defensive coordinator at an unnamed college football program, has been sleeping at the team facility since taking over the role two weeks ago after his predecessor was fired mid-game. Head coach Jim Mora revealed that McClendon’s office had been converted into a bedroom for him and mentioned seeing McClendon's family in the facility together. McClendon expressed gratitude for his wife Mickey Grace, who also works with the program, and their daughters' support during this demanding time. Despite this dedication, the team suffered a significant loss last week, conceding 66 points and 716 total offensive yards.

Story summary

Kenny McClendon, the newly appointed defensive coordinator at Colorado State, has been working tirelessly since taking over in the second half of a loss to Oregon State on October 3. Head coach Jim Mora revealed that McClendon hasn't returned home for two weeks, instead sleeping in linebacker coach Jordan Frost-Dixon’s office turned into a makeshift bedroom. This dedication extends to his family; his wife Mickey Grace, also a part of the program, was seen calling out formations while their daughters were asleep on a couch during a team event where they watched "Mulan." The extreme work ethic and involvement of McClendon's entire family in the Colorado State football program highlight the intense commitment required at this level.
