2007 football preview: UNC

Posted Aug 11, 2007

For the first time since Mack Brown's last game in 1997, there's a proven head coach in Chapel Hill, which provides immediate confidence and direction for a program that has had very little since Brown exited for Texas. Davis gives UNC a new start, a break from the Bunting/Carl Torbush Eras which were bogged down by continuous "will he or won't he be fired" questions. (Raleigh News & Observer)
