Kragthorpe says he's not interested in North Carolina job

Posted Oct 30, 2006

Tulsa coach Steve Kragthorpe announced Monday that he's not interested in the vacant North Carolina head-coaching job. Speculation had been swirling among North Carolina media that Kragthorpe was a strong candidate for the opening. "I think the job at North Carolina is a great job," Kragthorpe said. "Chapel Hill would be a great place to live. But I'm not interested in being the head coach at the University of North Carolina. I want to be the head coach at Tulsa." (Tulsa World)
