Countdown to Kickoff: Ronnie McGill Tries Coaching

Posted Aug 15, 2005

North Carolina's newest assistant coach stormed into the Kenan Football Center after Sunday night's practice, crumpling his practice plan as he walked. But it wasn't Tommy Thigpen or Dave Brock. It was junior tailback Ronnie McGill, who has been trying to assist the running backs during his rehabilitation from a freak chest injury suffered over the summer. And McGill's constantly chipper demeanor didn't allow him to maintain his scowl for long. (Tar Heel Blue)
