Ex-Gamecock football coach Sparky Woods, now at UNC, reflects on tumultuous years at South Carolina

Posted Aug 26, 2019
It didn’t take long for North Carolina senior football adviser Sparky Woods to realize his first game as a Tar Heel would be against the Gamecocks. He will be at Charlotte’s Bank of America Stadium on Saturday in baby-blue attire, with no extra desire to win just because the opponent once hired him to lead it out of dark times only to be fired five years later.
