UNC stands by Butch Davis

Posted Oct 1, 2010
Butch Davis said Thursday he isn't resigning. And UNC chancellor Holden Thorp said he isn't firing the head football coach, either. Davis, the chancellor and athletic director Dick Baddour all agreed that there need to be "corrections" in the football program. "And to make those corrections with Butch Davis as the coach is, again, by far the most efficient way to create the kind of program we want," Thorp said. (Raleigh News & Observer)
