SALT LAKE CITY — Ron McBride refuses to slow down. The former University of Utah football coach still has his hands in the game.

"I keep reminding him that he's old, and he never listens to me," his wife Vicki McBride said. "He doesn't think he is. He now has six jobs."

Whether that job is in football or his job with his foundation, coach Mac has left a lasting legacy through his love of the game.

"It has its ups and downs, but how you handle adversity is the key, because that's the key to life," Ron McBride said.

We sat down with coach Mac to talk about his career and what life looks like today for the longtime coach. Listen to his story in the video above.
