first year at the school. However, this is not Groh's

first year as an ACC coach. He was the head coach at Wake Forest from 1981-86, so he has experi- ence coming to Death Valley. Groh has extensive background in coaching. He began his college coaching career in 1968 as the freshman coach at Army. He became the fresh- man coach at Virginia in 1970, then became a

fulltime coach in 1971 . He also has assistant coach- ing experience at North Carolina (1973-77), Air Force (178-79), Tech (1980) and South Caro- lina (1988). He also has NFL experience, serving as an as- sistant with the (1987), (1989-91, (1992), (1993-96) and (1997-99). He was head coach with the Jets in 2000, posting a 9-7 record. Groh has had teams that boasted outstanding offenses over the years. That was seen at the NFL level last year with the Jets. His offense gained over 500 yards of total offense against the World Champion and record-setting

late in the season, more than any other NFL team. Dantzler had an ACC record 21 yards rushing at Virginia a year ago, and soon will Groh has some outstanding offensive players on become the first ACC player to reach 2,000 yards rushing and 4,000 yards passing.
