Mark Maye was just a few years too early, his mid-1980s career as a quarterback at Carolina coming before Mack Brown arrived and jettisoned the program into the nation's Top 25 in the early 1990s and then Top 10 in 1996. Maye, however, did work two years as a graduate assistant under Brown in 1990-91 and then a year as an intern in Athletic Director John Swofford's office, so he got a behind-the-curtains look at the development of the program.
"Coach Brown had an incredible ability to remember names and make people feel at ease," Maye remembers.
