Butch Davis says fans have right perspective

Posted Nov 20, 2008
Butch Davis inherited a woeful UNC program that had won seven games just twice in the past decade. Yet in just two seasons, Davis has the Tar Heels in contention for an ACC championship and playing to improve their bowl standing. It's been a rapid rise for a program that had won 47 games in the past 10 seasons. The risk is fans will believe the rebuilding job is ahead of where it actually is, though fan enthusiasm seems to be the most important thing for Davis right now. (WRAL Sports Fan)
