Gene Chizik is expected to be UNC's next defensive coordinator, sources said Saturday. Chizik would replace Jay Bateman, who was let go Friday. The move reunites Mack Brown with the defensive coordinator who helped bring him his national championship. After helping Auburn to an undefeated season in 2004, Chizik joined Brown's Texas staff in 2005. (Football Scoop)
