Posted Dec 10, 2015
A few tidbits from Gene Chizik during an interview with 103.7 The Buzz out of Arkansas prior to the Broyles Award ceremony. Chizik says the first time Larry Fedora called to offer him the defensive coordinator job at UNC, he turned it down. "I originally told him no. I can't do it. I've got a great gig in radio and TV and I'm just not really ready to come back right now you know and maybe never."
