#UNC-Clemson was billed as a titanic clash between two coaching legends in Bill Belichick and Dabo Swinney.

Nobody would have blamed Natrone Means if he'd left Chapel Hill after Mack Brown, the man who recruited him in the 90s and hired him in the 2020s, was fired.

But Means is still here, with a promotion to boot. More on #UNC's RBs coach:
