What’s wrong with NC's ACC football teams?

Posted Oct 22, 2006

John Bunting gets asked a lot of questions as the head football coach at North Carolina. But as the 2006 season passed its midpoint this week for the Heels, Bunting has heard one query more than any other. What is wrong with UNC’s program? A 23-0 loss to a struggling Virginia team Thursday night made a bad season worse as the Tar Heels’ record slipped to 1-6. The defeat further fueled speculation that Bunting’s sixth season as head coach at UNC might be his last. (Fayetteville Observer)
