The time Steve Spurrier almost took the North Carolina job

Posted Aug 21, 2019
Could UNC have been a mere field goal away from seeing the HBC in Carolina Blue? According to Steve Spurrier — out of football at the time after a 2-year run with the Washington Redskins — he was "this close" to taking that job had John Bunting not survived the ’04 season. But Connor Barth's 42-yard field goal to beat No. 4 Miami saved Bunting's job. (Football Scoop)
