Butch Davis says he learned from adversity of 2010 season

Posted Feb 12, 2011
UNC coach Butch Davis spoke about defensive line play for 90 minutes Friday at the Nike Coach of the Year Clinic. He could have talked all day about dealing with adversity. Last season, much was expected of a Tar Heels team filled with NFL-quality talent. But injuries, an investigation into improper benefits, and an issue involving tutors forced freshmen into significant playing time. UNC went 8-5. (Mobile Press-Register)
