Bunting's days are numbered
Posted Oct 15, 2006
John Bunting could not have saved his football coaching job Saturday, but he could have lost it. Chances are, he did. North Carolina's staggering 37-20 loss to South Florida in Kenan Stadium left the sixth-year Tar Heels coach in such a dire position that only a minor miracle could bring Bunting back for 2007. At 1-5 overall, Bunting's team looks a lot more likely to go 1-5 than 5-1 or 4-2 over the second half.
