Bunting works toward coaching continuity

Posted Sep 7, 2006

Danny Pearman wasn't able to coax a recruit named Hilee Taylor to Virginia Tech. But, in a twist, he now coaches the junior defensive end at North Carolina. Pearman was fired by the Hokies after eight seasons on Frank Beamer's staff. He has landed on John Bunting's staff at UNC and harbors no outward bitterness toward the Hokies, who visit Kenan Stadium on Saturday. (Greensboro News & Record)
