Withers the right man for the job at UNC
Posted Aug 14, 2008
First-year defensive coordinator Everett Withers was a good hire for North Carolina. He's got connections all over the place -- he grew up in Charlotte, he worked for Mack Brown at Texas, and he wanted to play at UNC but "wasn't good enough" and instead played defensive back at Appalachian State. But that's not the reason he seems to be the right man for the job, and it only took 12 minutes in his office today to draw that conclusion.
