Butch Davis happy to get back to work

Posted Nov 6, 2008
The Tar Heels had an open date last Saturday, and Butch Davis spent the time sitting on the couch, watching football. "You spend all season long with blood, sweat and tears worrying about your team, but it's hard to sit there sweating out six other games," Davis said. "You go through the ebbs and the flows and you go, ‘I'm not even coaching this team, I've got no control over it,' so you shut up and watch." (Winston-Salem Journal)
