New defensive coordinator John Papuchis can make mark while keeping most the same

Posted Jul 20, 2017
Now, with Gene Chizik having resigned to spend more time with his family, the Tar Heels are once again tasked with breaking in a new defensive coordinator. This time, it’s John Papuchis, who was UNC’s linebackers coach the past two seasons after serving as defensive coordinator at Nebraska from 2012 to 2014. The change is one of many in Chapel Hill this season. (Daily Tar Heel)
