Could Butch Davis be next UNC coach?

Posted Oct 27, 2006

It didn't take long - about 12 seconds after John Bunting was pink-slipped - for Butch Davis' name to be floated as the next North Carolina football coach. Davis has been out of coaching since the Cleveland Browns fired him in 2004, but to the college crowd, he's best remembered for re-tooling the University of Miami in the late '90s. Would North Carolina be interested in Davis, and vice versa? Let the speculation begin. It's mostly harmless and always irresistible. (Virginian-Pilot)
