Everett Withers reassures UNC faculty

Posted Sep 14, 2011
UNC interim football coach Everett Withers wants to win. But in a Sept. 7 email sent to the university's faculty, he stressed that he wants to do so with players who also want to earn a degree. "We are committed to a recruiting process to find young men who possess a desire to achieve success not only on the football field, but in the classroom and the Carolina Community," wrote Withers, whose team is 2-0 entering Saturday's game against Virginia.
