Posted Oct 29, 2008
Mark Paschal noted that Butch Davis exudes confidence in himself and this football team. "He never gets that panicked look on his face. It is very reassuring knowing everything is going to be OK, especially when you get down early," he said. Davis said that the players know the coaching staff cares for them and will be the same, win or lose. "They have an awful lot of strength of character," Davis said. "I don't say this lightly. I think these kids love each other." (Raleigh News & Observer)
