Over their four years together, Gannon started only 19 games. But it was McCarthy who helped Gannon morph from journeyman to juggernaut. Behind the scenes, he revitalized the quarterback's career. Eventually in Oakland, Gannon would make four Pro Bowls, earn league MVP honors and reach the Super Bowl.
"He was so organized and so detailed and had such a good way of breaking it down - and he was such a young coach at the time," Gannon said. "If I had his quality of coaching early in my career, boy, things would have gone a lot smoother. He just took it to another level."
"I've played 17 years and I never had a quarterback coach like Mike," Gannon said. "He was the best I ever had, because at the end of the week, I felt like the most prepared player on the field."
