Former UNC coach Butch Davis hoping to coach again

Posted Jul 16, 2012
Butch Davis wants to be a head coach again. North Carolina fired him last July amid a series of embarrassing revelations during an NCAA investigation of his football program. The school said there was too much damage for him to stay even though he wasn't linked to a violation, and now he's working as a consultant with an NFL team hoping to become a head coach again.
