UNC Defensive Coordinator Gene Chizik Looking To Re-Create 2015 Success

Posted Jan 20, 2022
Can Gene Chizik do for the North Carolina football program what he did in 2015? Chizik worked some magic that first year, dramatically improving UNC's defense. In 2014, the Tar Heels finished ranked No. 117 in total defense, allowing 497.8 yards per game. In 2015, they improved by 60 yards allowed per game and moved up to No. 42 in scoring defense.
