Tudor: Koenning gone, but UNC defensive obstacles remain

Posted Dec 26, 2014
If former coordinator Vic Koenning really was the problem with UNC’s defense during the 2014 football regular season, the Tar Heels should have a decent chance to contain and conquer Rutgers in the Quick Lane Bowl Friday in Detroit. The 54-year-old Koenning is gone, dismissed from third-year head coach Larry Fedora’s staff following a 35-7 loss to NC State in Chapel Hill. (WRAL Sports Fan)
