Chansky: What Were They Thinking?
Posted Dec 13, 2013
James Moeser says that, if he were still chancellor at the time, he would not have fired Butch Davis. And former Athletic Director Dick Baddour reveals that it was not his recommendation to release the embattled coach in July of 2011. In an era when UNC has been pedestrian, at best, in controlling the message and speaking with one voice, it’s reprehensible that Moeser and Baddour provided a story in itself by fanning that flame.
