I knew UNC was a paper tiger, it's showing now 2 losses to unranked teams, not just any unranked teams.....1-4 UVA and1-3 FSU. Notre Dame and Miami will slap Mack's bitch ass around too.

Probably true, but Mack's doing a lot with the talent he has. NC winning that conference is probably on order with Tech winning the Big XII. I appreciate Mack's time here, it was a hell of a lot more enjoyable than the last of the Akers years, most of the McWilliams era, and pretty much all of the Mackovic hellscape.

You forgot Charlie and Tom’s time....   We won ten games ten years in a row, that seems like a dream senerio  right now in the middle of a nightmare of the last few years.

From 2008-10, Means served as the Regional Scouting Director for Collegiate Sports of America, assisting qualified high school student-athletes market themselves for scholarship consideration to colleges of all competitive levels across the country. In 2010, he became the Running Back Lead for the Nike Football Training Camps.

Means had a stellar career in the NFL, where he enjoyed a seven-year career that included a trip to Super Bowl XXIX. He became the youngest player (22 years old) to score a touchdown in the Super Bowl. He was drafted by the Chargers in the second round (41st overall) of the 1993 NFL Draft. For his career, he totaled 5,215 yards and 45 touchdowns. In the 1994 season, Means rushed for 1,350 yards and 12 touchdowns and earned All-Pro and Pro Bowl honors.
