"The newest member of the Giants staff joined the club in March 1976 after serving as the head coach of the Memphis team of the WFL for two seasons.
The 45-year-old coach was born in Bellaire, Ohio and played his high school football at the famed Massillon High School in Ohio. He then moved on to play his college ball at Miami of Ohio under both Woody Hayes and Ara Parseghian and earned All-Midwest honors as a center. John was team MVP lineman for two years and team captain in 1952.
Following graduation, McVay began his coaching career at Central Catholic High School in Canton, Ohio, compiling a 41-7-2 record there in nine seasons. He moved on to Michigan State as an assistant for three seasons under Duffy Daugherty, then was named head coach at Dayton University. In 1966 the Flyers were 8-2 under McVay, their first winning record in 10 seasons. He served for five years as head coach and then was named Director of Athletics at Dayton in 1972, a position he held until being named head coach at Memphis in 1974. That year, Memphis won 17 regular season games and led the WFL in virtually every offensive category."
