Resilient Heels are earning respect

Posted Oct 25, 2005

This season, John Bunting has UNC 3-3, 2-1 ACC heading to Miami on Saturday. Look at the Big Four today, and it'd be impossible not to choose Bunting as the guy doing the best job. UNC has won six of its last 11 games, two of them over N.C. State. No, that doesn't get you into the BCS rankings, but when you consider the rest of the programs in North Carolina, it's understandable why Bunting is gaining well-earned respect. (Durham Herald-Sun)
