Dre Bly's Journey Back to UNC

Posted May 21, 2019
There’s a bit of irony involved with Dre Bly’s transition from a world class athlete to a college coach. It was not football that initially piqued his interest in coaching young men, but rather coaching his son’s youth baseball team in Charlotte. Bly chose UNC over Virginia Tech in 1995, in part because Mack Brown promised he could play baseball in the spring. (Inside Carolina)
