Gene Chizik confident in Tar Heels' defensive development

Posted Apr 7, 2023
The Tar Heels’ second-year coordinator Gene Chizik suggests he has UNC's defense further along in its development at this point in the offseason than he did in his debut campaign. "There's no question, we are way ahead of where we were this time last year, not just because of some of the reps, but also some things we've injected in the defense." (Inside Carolina)
