Everett Withers, Part II: Football Junkie

Posted Jan 20, 2009
When Everett Withers came to UNC, the word was that he was the type of coach who would wake up in the middle of the night to scribble down plays that occurred to him. Having worked with Jeff Fisher of the Tennessee Titans, a defensive guru, Withers became known as someone who immersed himself in the X’s and O’s of the game. But there are other aspects to playing defense that haven’t escaped him – teaching the fundamentals and recruiting the “Jimmy’s and Joe’s.” (Inside Carolina)
