UNC football staff remembers the intensity, tender-heartedness of late head coach Carl Torbush

Posted Nov 27, 2023
Rick Steinbacher thought he was tough. That is, until the former UNC linebacker suited up for his first practice with Carl Torbush. “He was just so all over me about doing things right,” Steinbacher said. “I was almost brought to tears in practice because his standard was that high.” Yet, when Steinbacher needed someone to talk to, he sought out Torbush.
