Aaron McKie stayed up all night before he was set to address Temple for the first time as head coach. McKie thought hard for the right words as they raced through his mind, trying to craft the perfect pep talk to assert points of emphasis for the Owls as they headed into summer.Once McKie gathered the Owls the next day after a workout, he had his approach down.“I blew the whistle like I’m this badass,” McKie said. “C’mon, hurry up! Couple of guys were walking, jogging. I just wanted to set the tone.”McKie stood at Temple’s huddle, surveyed his new team and, well, blanked. He forgot what he wanted to say.
“I just said, ‘How’s everybody feeling? Good morning,’” McKie said, laughing.
