Former UNC coach John Blake had agent on speed dial

Posted Sep 8, 2010
Former UNC football coach John Blake was in frequent communication with sports agent Gary Wichard while Blake was the team’s associate head coach, calling into further question their relationship as the NCAA continues its investigation of the football program. Leading up to the Jan. 4 announcement that six juniors on UNC’s football team would stay in school rather than enter the NFL draft, university phone records show that Blake and Wichard never went more than four days without communicating.
