Bunting refused to resign
Posted Oct 25, 2006
North Carolina athletics director Dick Baddour said football coach John Bunting was given the opportunity to resign before he was fired Sunday, "and he chose not to do so." Bunting, 25-42 in six seasons at UNC, will coach the rest of the season. But he will be owed $286, 200 a year until January 2010. If he takes a lesser-paying job, the school must make up the difference in his salary.
