ACC football record book: ‘where would the ACC have been had Jim Tatum lived?’

Posted May 26, 2020
On the occasion of his 46th birthday, Jim Tatum towered over college football. He perfected the Split-T offense and rode it to four titles in three different conferences. He owned a national championship. He was a driving force in the creation of the ACC. He lifted North Carolina, his moribund alma mater, to a consensus top-10 preseason ranking. He died the next day.
