Healthy again, UNC’s Leifheit looking forward to a fresh start
Posted Apr 13, 2012
The first thing Larry Fedora did upon arriving as North Carolina’s new football coach in January was wipe the slate clean. He promised not to watch any tape from last season or make any judgments based on the past. Everyone, he said, would be given a fresh start and a second chance to make a first impression. It’s doubtful anyone on the Tar Heels’ roster was happier about that than T.J. Leifheit.
