Will North Carolina Head Coach Larry Fedora Meet a Gene Chizik-like Fate? Posted Sep 11, 2018 As the North Carolina defensive coordinator under Larry Fedora, Gene Chizik did his part in helping the Tar Heels win the 2015 ACC Coastal Division championship. But he resigned after the 2016 season and things have not gone right for Carolina — and more specifically Fedora — ever since. It is interesting how the Fedora plunge has mirrored that of his former assistant. (Athlon Sports)
