Spurrier one loss away from coaching Tar Heels
Posted Oct 10, 2007
Had North Carolina not beaten Miami in 2004 to save John Bunting’s job, Steve Spurrier might have found himself on the other side of this week’s clash of the Carolinas. Spurrier said Tuesday that a North Carolina booster contacted him in 2004 during his year off after leaving the Washington Redskins. There was rampant speculation in ‘04 about Bunting’s future in Chapel Hill.
