Cavs latest challenge for Butch Davis

Posted Sep 13, 2007

Butch Davis has turned his restorative powers to North Carolina. Many before him have tried. Few achieved much more than window dressing. True, the Tar Heels aren't a grimy, probation-stained mess like the Miami program Davis inherited in '95. They're not an expansion-franchise toddler like the NFL Brownies he was placed in charge of six years later. But UNC doesn't have national and world championships in its time capsule, either.
