Q&A with UNC linebacker coach John Papuchis

Posted Aug 28, 2015
John Papuchis: "Shortly after Coach (Gene) Chizik got hired here we had some contact—he reached out about a possible interest in coming here. At the time there were a couple options I was wading through. After talking to him, and knowing Coach (Larry) Fedora and what he’s all about as a man and a football coach, it became pretty obvious that this was a great opportunity for me and my family."
