McGovern spent three years with Kelly with the Eagles before stints with the Giants and the University of Nebraska. In 2021, Bears defensive coordinator Sean Desai – now the Eagles’ defensive coordinator – hired McGovern as inside linebackers coach.
McGovern reunited with Kelly at UCLA last year as defensive coordinator but moved to an administrative position during the second half of the year as he fought cancer. “What he does a great job of is he keeps reminding me, ‘What are you thinking for your next pass-rush move or the next set or the next drive?’” Graham told the Inquirer in 2015. “You have to switch it up as a pass rusher. You can’t be predictable.”
“He really cares about his players as men,” Herzlich told the Inquirer in 2013. “And that is sometimes tough to find in the football environment because everyone’s looking at win-win-win.”
