The Return of 'Mo'

Posted Mar 6, 2009
He’s back, and he’s really happy to be back. Allen Mogridge is brimming with excitement about his return to Chapel Hill. To the Tar Heel football players, he’s now “Coach Mo.” Mogridge's road to the coaching ranks began as a player at UNC (1995-99), where he struggled to find a position, playing four of them in the five years he was in Chapel Hill – defensive end, tight end, fullback, and finally, his senior season, offensive tackle.
