Puzzle coming together for UNC, Fedora says

Posted Jul 23, 2015
At the Pigskin Preview, Larry Fedora said Gene Chizik, who was the defensive coordinator at Texas when the Longhorns won the national championship in 2005, has reinvigorated UNC’s defense. Chizik was coaching Auburn in 2010 when the Tigers won the national championship. The Tar Heels will also return every starter from their offensive unit except tight end Jack Tabb.
