Timeline

1959

Richard James McKay (born March 16, 1959) is an American football executive who is the CEO of the Atlanta Falcons of the National Football League (NFL).

1976

When John McKay took the Tampa Bay job he moved his family, including son Rich, to Florida where McKay played quarterback his senior year at Jesuit High School of Tampa the 1976–1977 season.

1981

He earned his bachelor's degree from Princeton University in 1981 and graduated from Stetson University College of Law in 1984.

Prior to entering the NFL, McKay was an attorney with the Tampa law firm of Hill, Ward, and Henderson.

He and his wife, Terrin, have two sons, Hunter and John.

1992

McKay had served as the vice president of football administration since 1992 and had been a member of the NFL's Competition Committee since being appointed earlier in 1994.

The tasks granted to him involved a bigger role in supervising the personnel departments in the college and pros for Tampa alongside more input in drafting and free agency (as opposed to having in the hands of head coach Sam Wyche), complete with final word on drafting.

This differed from the traditional setup used by Culverhouse as owner, in which the coach would generally have control (Wyche would retain the position of coach and director of football operations).

1994

Prior to joining the Falcons, he was the general manager of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers from 1994 to 2003 and was a part of their Super Bowl XXXVII-winning season.

McKay is the youngest son of the late John McKay, who was the Buccaneers' first head coach.

McKay was a ball boy for the Buccaneers when his father was the head coach.

While his father was head coach at USC in Los Angeles, McKay played wide receiver, with quarterback Paul McDonald, at Bishop Amat High School in La Puente, California.

On November 8, 1994, McKay was promoted by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers (as run by a trust set up after the death of Hugh Culverhouse earlier in the year) to serve as general manager.

As the general manager for the Buccaneers from 1994 to 2003, McKay directed five teams that reached the NFC playoffs and one team that won a Super Bowl title.

1995

On December 27, 1995, McKay fired Wyche as coach, stating that the team was better off than they were when they hired Wyche (McKay called it a mutually agreed decision while Wyche called it a firing).

Both Sapp and Brooks, selected by McKay in the same first round of the 1995 NFL Draft, went on to become members of the Pro Football Hall of Fame.

1996

On January 23, 1996, McKay hired Tony Dungy (who had interviewed for the position four years prior) as head coach.

The decision came after the Glazers had first pushed for Steve Spurrier; once that failed, they focused their efforts on Dungy, until he came aboard.

1997

The 1997 team improved from six wins to ten while qualifying for the playoffs for the first time since 1982, which included a 5–0 start and a Wild Card playoff win against Detroit for their first playoff game victory since 1979.

The Buccaneers' 41 Pro Bowl selections between 1997 through 2002 were the most in the NFL.

1998

In 1998, McKay, then president and general manager of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, worked closely with the Glazer Family, the city of Tampa, former Tampa Mayor Dick Greco, and Tampa Stadium Authority on the successful construction and opening of Raymond James Stadium.

1999

They regressed the following year but bounced back in 1999 with eleven wins and a NFC Central title, the first since 1981, doing so on the efforts of rookie quarterback Shaun King after incumbent QB Trent Dilfer was hurt.

They made it all the way to the NFC Championship game, which they lost 11-6 to the St. Louis Rams.

During his tenure as general manager, McKay drafted players such as Warren Sapp, Mike Alstott, Ronde Barber, Derrick Brooks, and Warrick Dunn.

2002

McKay constructed the 2002 Buccaneers' Super Bowl-winning roster that featured seven Pro Bowl players.

On January 14, 2002, Dungy was fired, against the wishes of McKay, after a second straight lopsided loss to the Philadelphia Eagles in the Wild Card round.

Bill Parcells was offered the position by the team (as coveted by the Glazers) but backed out of the agreement; McKay had been asked to take the position of team president if Parcells was named coach in favor of Mike Tannenbaum being the new GM.

McKay then interviewed three coaches with Marvin Lewis, Mike Mularkey, and Norv Turner before he had his mind set on Lewis.

So confident was McKay that he started to help Lewis assemble a coaching staff before a face-to-face meeting between Lewis and the Glazers resulted in rejection and a move to push for Gruden (eventually, the team traded two first round picks, two second-round picks, plus $8 million, to the Oakland Raiders, in exchange for Gruden).

Rejecting a contract extension offer, McKay considered leaving the organization during that time but did not.

Despite the Super Bowl victory, McKay and Gruden did not get along.

Gruden's suggestions on free agents such as Emmitt Smith were rejected by McKay, while Gruden reportedly went over McKay's rejection to deactivate Keyshawn Johnson to appeal directly to the Glazer family.

2003

On December 12, 2003, McKay and the Buccaneers came to an agreement that would see McKay leave the organization with the freedom to join any team he wanted, with no compensation required.

In December 2003, McKay left the Tampa Bay Buccaneers to become president and general manager of the Atlanta Falcons.

In his first season of directing operations, the Falcons went to the NFC Championship game against the Philadelphia Eagles.

2008

In January 2008, the Falcons hired Thomas Dimitroff as general manager, relegating McKay to the position of team president, although McKay negotiated Matt Ryan's contract.

2010

McKay's Falcons in 2010–11 had 9 Pro Bowlers.

Sixteen years after building Raymond James Stadium in Tampa, McKay, as president and CEO of the Atlanta Falcons, worked closely with Falcons Chairman and owner Arthur Blank, the city of Atlanta, and the Georgia World Congress Center stadium authority to secure approval and financing for the Falcons to build a new $1.2 billion stadium in downtown Atlanta.

2013

Sapp was enshrined in 2013 and Brooks was inducted in 2014.

According to the Pro Football Hall of Fame, McKay is the only general manager in NFL history to have his first two draft picks as a GM be inducted into the Hall of Fame.
