McBride’s success with the JV program earned him the varsity head coaching position in March 2022, following three straight conference championships and a combined 25–2 record over those seasons. His 2020–21 JV team posted the first undefeated season in school history, finishing 10–0. In addition to his coaching duties, McBride also served as a teacher’s assistant at Stoney Creek Elementary in Charlotte beginning in 2018.

A native of Michigan, McBride previously worked as an Athletic Video Coordinator intern at Central Michigan University during the 2015–16 academic year. He earned his bachelor’s degree in Sports Management and Entrepreneurship from Central Michigan in May 2016.
