Hired in 2003, Josh McKay has been an integral part of USF’s recent success. Since the beginning of his tenure as an assistant to head coach Erik Visser, the Dons have gone 85-88-23, highlighted by four NCAA tournament appearances and three West Coast Conference titles. Following the 2005 season, McKay was promoted to the position of associate head coach. From 1996 to 2002, McKay played an impressive 153 contests in the professional ranks as a member of the Colorado Rapids of the MLS and the USL’s Richmond Kickers. With the Kickers in 1997, McKay accumulated 10 points on four goals and two assists. As McKay competed on the roster from 1997 to 2002, Richmond took no worse than third in their division. In 1998 and 2001, the Kickers were crowned division champions and finished as league championship runner-ups in McKay’s final season.
