Chizik returns to coaching to fix Tar Heels' woeful defense
Posted Jul 31, 2015
Gene Chizik built one of the nation's top defenses as an Auburn assistant, worked as defensive coordinator during Texas' national-championship run then returned to the Tigers to win another title as head coach. That history explains why UNC is counting on Chizik to fix its woeful defense. Approaching three years after he was fired from Auburn, Chizik is back in coaching as the Tar Heels' defensive coordinator.
