ACC 2011 Conference Football Report
Posted Aug 12, 2011
After going through the entire offseason, North Carolina officials, in their infinite wisdom, fired Butch Davis. The Tar Heels are in an awful spot, but they still have some good players. Defensive end Quinton Coples is one of the ACC's best defenders. Many of UNC's defenders were thrown into the fire last season to replace suspended teammates, and that experience should benefit the Tar Heels this season.
