Jerry McGee was a college football referee from 1972-2009. He was also a university president.

He developed countless relationships with coaches and players during that time, including some of the game's most decorated figures.

McGee recently co-authored a book with his two sons entitled: "Sidelines and Bloodlines: A Father, His Sons, and Our Life in College Football."

McGee often took his sons Ryan and Sam on road trips in the ACC and beyond. Ryan became a sportswriter and is now a distinguished writer and personality at ESPN.

Jerry McGee knew Danny Ford and his assistants well and witnessed firsthand the transformation of Clemson's football program in the late 1970s.

He also has a great appreciation for not just Dabo Swinney's reviving of the glory days, but how he's done it.

Dr. McGee gives his thoughts on the best team he ever saw, the best player, the loudest stadium and -- yes, the nastiest fans.
