UNC Football Coach Bunting Fired
I watched last night's UVa game with a few other UNC alumns and we were disgusted. The team has hit rock bottom and is one of the five worst teams in D-1 football. Both Bunting and Torbush have not been able to carry the torch that Mack Brown lit while in Chapel Hill. My good friend in Pinehurst is a Rams Club member and shared this information with me today:
Coach Bunting was fired today by UNC systems president Erskine Bowles. The announcement will be made at a later date when the university and Bunting are ready, most likely before the Nov 18th N.C. State game. It may be spun as a resignation at that time. UNC has contacted the agents of Jimbo Fisher (LSU O-Cord), Rich Rodriquez (WVA Head Coach) and Paul Johnson (Navy Head Coach). Good riddance. Bunting is a failure and he has five more games left with the team. The fball team needs to be more competitive than they are now and a new coach is step #1. |

Have they ever had a good football team?

Re: UNC Football Coach Bunting Fired
A UNC sophomore made a "lewd gesture" towards the UVa fans during warm-ups. Within 10 minutes Bunting had gotten in his face, sent him back to the locker room, and he was in street clothes for the entire game.
It's a shame having a quarterback who can only complete 30% of his passes cost this guy a job. |

Re: UNC Football Coach Bunting Fired
I can't believe they finally fired him. The last two years I thought he was gone, but came through with a win that saved his job (Miami, BC, two wins in a row vs State).
I figured that meant we'd beat Notre Dame this year. [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img] [ QUOTE ] Weren't they pretty good when Mack Brown coached there (and Julius Peppers played)? [/ QUOTE ] Yeah, they started cracking the top 25 my freshman year, then I think they made it to #2 or 3 one year Peppers was there. But not sure, that was after my time. |

Apparently Bunting was reeling in a great recruiting haul this year. I wonder how that will turn out now.

A thread on InsideCarolina (the Tar Pit forum) says that Bunting will finish out the year.
