Lake Forest travels up the road down I-176 for a Week 2 match up vs. Carmel Catholic. This week, publisher Jon J. Kerr has conversation with Corsairs head coach and former Chicago Bear Jason McKie.

Topics discussed:

* How Carmel Catholic matches up against Lake Forest

* Who are the Corsairs’ best players and why

* His background growing up in Florida and playing college ball in Philly

* Being an undrafted free agent and signing with the Bears in 2003

* His biggest coaching influences and how he applies those lessons

* What he thinks of the HBO show “Hard Knocks” and how realistic the show is

The conversation was done over the phone so the audio quality is not the best. But I hope you enjoy the interview with Coach McKie!

Should be a a lot of fun at Carmel Friday night.
