Heels look for speed to move them forward in a hurry

Posted Jul 28, 2009
Butch Davis talks fast. Southern, sure. But fast. He might be from Arkansas, but if you think he’s all sugar and molasses, forget it. Ask him a question at the ACC Kickoff and out comes the answer. Davis oozes that, Let’s go, let’s get it on. Some coaches are folksy, like Bobby Bowden, and some have a relaxed but confident drawl, like Paul Johnson. But Davis is all size and energy – and you can see it his teams. (WRAL Sports Fan)
