Frank Beamer accepted UNC football coaching job in 2000
Posted Oct 11, 2013
In November of 2000, North Carolina athletic director Dick Baddour called me, wanting to talk about the Tar Heels job. He was about to fire Carl Torbush.We talked a while and I was very intrigued with what he had to say and with the prospect of taking the Tar Heels job. On Saturday, November 18, I told Baddour I would accept the job. It would be one of the biggest mistakes of my life.
