The team Bunting built unveiled soon

Posted Aug 21, 2006

As he enters his sixth season, John Bunting's intense look has changed. He has evolved from pro linebacker to college coach. There's something beyond "see it, hit it" in his eyes. It's something steadier, quieter. It's confidence. Last season, Carolina went 5-6 despite leading at the half in seven games, being tied in one and within four points in two more. This season, Bunting thinks his team can finish off opponents, even Notre Dame in South Bend. (Raleigh News & Observer)
