UNC's dramatic overtime win over Tennessee is just over a week in the history books, but there's no pause in the pulse of the Kenan Football Center.

One day he's out of town selling the Tar Heel program to high school seniors and juniors; the next he's in his office planning the next week's recruiting schedule. (Tar Heel Blue)
