What he did: Bobby Ross arrived at Georgia Tech and, well, pulled off a miracle on The Flats. He took a program that was 2-9 in its first season and won a national championship in his fourth, the Yellow Jackets only modern-day title.
However, it would have never happened if not for the tragic death of University of Maryland superstar Len Bias … but more on that later.
Born in Richmond, Ross went to a military high school before going to play college football at Virginia Military Institute.
