Donnan still has Carolina in his mind

Posted May 18, 2010
As the recruiting director on Bill Dooley's Carolina staffs during much of the 1970s, Donnan helped the Tar Heels come close to cornering the market. Dooley's '76 and '77 teams went 17-6-1 and 9-1-1 in the ACC at a time when Duke and State combined to record non-league wins at Tennessee, Miami and Auburn and ECU's option offense under Pat Dye was among the most explosive in the country.
