Mickey Sullivan, an all-city end at Curtis High School and MVP at North Carolina State, transformed the Wagner College football program in a meteoric stint as head coach.
Sullivan, already a successful businessman, inherited a team that hadn’t won a game in two years, and in his fourth season guided the Seahawks to a 9-0 record in 1960, the first undefeated team in school history. Then he convinced the school to hire a fulltime coach, effectively firing himself and creating the program that became an integral part of the college community.
