Butch Davis says he will return for second season at North Carolina

Posted Dec 7, 2007

Butch Davis apparently isn't going anywhere. North Carolina's coach -- whose name has been mentioned as a possible candidate for other coaching vacancies -- said Thursday he won't talk with other schools about jobs and will return for his second season here. "Obviously, I know that there was interest out there," Davis said. "But I have to be honest and tell you that my interest was to stay at the University of North Carolina. I love this job."
