Bobby Ross took the San Diego Chargers to their only Super Bowl appearance, but in his 43-year coaching career nothing tops the national championship he won at Georgia Tech in 1990.
In his fourth year on The Flats, Ross guided the Yellow Jackets to an 11-0-1 season and 45-21 win over Nebraska in the Florida Citrus Bowl, good enough to share the national title with Colorado (11-1-1). Tech won the UPI coaches poll while the Buffaloes took the AP title.
“A lot of special things happened that season,’’ said Ross said.
