Lucas: Pittman Finds Fit On The Line

Sam Pittman, who will coach the offensive line, sounded like he was apologizing. But two important factors indicate he belongs on what is expected to be one of Carolina's strongest coaching staffs ever. First, his credentials--the Huskies had a tailback top 1,500 yards in each of his four seasons at NIU. And second, his endorsement from the only man that matters: Butch Davis. (Tar Heel Blue)
