Kirk Mee attended McGuffey High School for three years, where he excelled in football, basketball, baseball and track. He enrolled at Talawanda High School when the school opened in the fall of 1956, where he was promptly elected co-captain of the school’s first football team. He kicked the extra point that brought the new high school its first win in any sports competition. He was a two way starter for this football team that won Talawanda its first league championship. He was a first team All League selection in football. Kirk also played basketball, baseball and ran track that first year at Talawanda and was selected as the outstanding athlete of his class.

Upon graduation from Talawanda, Kirk enrolled at Wilmington College where he participated in football, baseball and track. He was an All League selection in football, and was picked as the most valuable Wilmington player in both football and baseball. He is a member of the Wilmington College Athletic Hall of Fame.

At age 23, Kirk was named head football coach at Defiance College, making him the youngest head college coach in the nation. Kirk had an outstanding career at Defiance College, including an undefeated, un-tied team in 1966. For this accomplishment, he was named Small College Coach of the Year.

After several years as an assistant football coach at the University of Wisconsin, Kirk was appointed by the legendary Vince Lombardi to the staff of the Washington Redskins professional football team. There, he served twenty-four years under Lombardi, George Allen, Joe Gibbs, Jack Pardee and Norv Turner as an assistant coach and Director of Player Personnel. Kirk has three Super Bowl rings to show for his efforts with the Redskins.

Now retired, Kirk is a motivational speaker as well as a member of the Defiance College Athletic Hall of Fame, the Butler County Athletic Hall of Fame and the Indiana Athletic Hall of Fame.
