Sad Times: Bunting says UNC program is in good shape

Posted Nov 23, 2006

The final week of John Bunting's coaching career at North Carolina has been marked by a lot of sadness and some happiness, but mostly relief. Bunting calls it a time of last "lasts." In a fourth-floor lounge in the Kenan Football Center, all pictures of Bunting have been taken down. Bunting, who was fired Oct. 22, will cede control of the program Sunday, and Butch Davis will take over. (Winston-Salem Journal)
