John Shoop, Part I: Acclimation

Posted Jan 12, 2009

He was one of Butch Davis’ first hires upon arriving at UNC and has now been through two seasons in Chapel Hill. How has that acclimation process been for Shoop and his family? “It has been fantastic,” Shoop said. “We love Chapel Hill, we love the community here...there’s something about Chapel Hill.’” (Inside Carolina)
