Gene Chizik returns to rebuild North Carolina's defense again

Posted Jan 19, 2022
Gene Chizik has found his way back to Chapel Hill in a return almost as improbable as Mack Brown’s was three years ago. The Tar Heels parted ways with Jay Bateman, who served in that role the past three seasons, following a disappointing defensive performance in 2021. The call went out to Chizik, and this time he chose to return to the sidelines. (North State Journal)
