Joe Dailey Responds

Posted Jan 29, 2011
Joe Dailey was caught off guard by the negative attention he received from North Carolina fans this week. “I got a call [Friday] night about it and a bunch of Tar Heel fans hit me up on Facebook upset,” said the former UNC football player and current assistant coach at Kansas. The Tar Heel faithful were upset about an article published online Friday by The Press Box, a New Jersey sports website launched in August 2010, that said Dailey “convinced” Savon Huggins, a five-star running back, to choose Rutgers over UNC.
