UNC Hires John Blake as Assistant Football Coach
Posted Dec 16, 2006
John Blake, most recently the defensive line coach at Nebraska, has been hired as a defensive assistant coach, University of North Carolina head coach Butch Davis announced Friday. Davis and Blake previously worked together as members of Jimmy Johnson's staff with the Dallas Cowboys. Blake joined the Dallas staff as defensive line coach after Davis was promoted to defensive coordinator in 1993. That year, Dallas ranked eighth in the league in total defense and beat Buffalo, 30-13, in Super Bowl XXVII.
