Davis denies interest in Arkansas

Posted Oct 24, 2007

Contrary to a CBSSports.com blog report, first-year North Carolina football coach Butch Davis does not have an exit clause in his contract that would allow him to leave penalty-free for Arkansas. He expressed no interest when asked Tuesday about possibly returning to his alma mater if there is a coaching change there. So would he leave for Arkansas? "I just told you, I'm thrilled to be at North Carolina," he said. (Raleigh News & Observer)
