Davis deal still in limbo

Posted Nov 10, 2006

The father of Butch Davis said Thursday that his son is interested in the North Carolina football coaching job but could not say if the Tar Heels have offered the position. "I'm sure he is interested," Paul Hilton Davis Sr. said when reached at his home in Arkansas. "It's up to him to make his own decision. He's 54 -- 55 later this month -- and he's been making his own decisions for a long time." (Raleigh News & Observer)
