Corey Holliday joined the UNC staff in 2001 and serves as Associate Athletic Director for Football Administration, a position to which he was promoted in 2006. Holliday coordinates daily football program administration, works with the University admissions office, supervises football operational personnel, and handles other administrative duties as assigned by athletics director Bubba Cunningham and head coach Mack Brown.
Holliday earned a B.S. in business administration from UNC in 1993 and returned to earn his master’s in sport administration in ‘97. A four-year letterwinner at Carolina from 1989-93, he finished his career as the Tar Heels’ leading receiver (2,447 yards), which currently ranks fourth all-time. His 155 receptions ranked fourth on Carolina’s all-time list at the conclusion of his collegiate career and are currently seventh. Team co-captain as a junior and senior, he caught at least one pass in an ACC-record 45 consecutive games for the Tar Heels from 1990-93.
After UNC, Holliday went on to play four seasons with the Pittsburgh Steelers and was a member of four divisional championship squads. He played in Super Bowl XXX against the Dallas Cowboys and had two receptions and two special teams tackles.
Holliday has also held positions with the Atlantic Coast Conference, the UNC Ram’s Club, and The Ohio State University. Before returning to Chapel Hill, he was a Business Process Analyst for Andersen Consulting in Columbus, Ohio.
Holliday was selected as one of 25 athletics administrators to participate in the inaugural 2001-02 NCAA Leadership Institute for Ethnic Minority Males.
Holliday and his wife Angela (UNC ‘94) have two sons, Christopher and Nicholas.
