Fedora, Tar Heels squelch departure speculation

Posted Dec 6, 2012
North Carolina experienced its first trip through the coaching rumor mill under Larry Fedora, and its head coach is still in place. Fedora was named as a finalist for the Tennessee job by Internet sites in Knoxville on Tuesday, but a source close to the UNC program said Thursday that Fedora never interviewed and is not interested in the position. Fedora told players at a team meeting Thursday that he is staying in Chapel Hill. (Durham Herald-Sun)
