Butch Davis could surpass his UNC predecessors

Posted Aug 27, 2009
Starting his third lap at North Carolina, Butch Davis is on track to rate as the best football coach in school history. Hold the drum roll. Davis might also be the new Dick Crum. In relief of Bill Dooley after 1978, Crum initiated a decade-long run in Chapel Hill by going 5-6, 8-3-1, 11-1 and 10-2. The joint jumped back then. They even billed it as “Krazee Kenan” during the disco music era, if you can dig that. Later, the beat slowed. (Charlotte Observer)
