Carolina To Make Football Coaching Change For 2007 :: John Bunting will continue to coach the Tar Heels for the rest of this season.

Announced tonight by Baddour and Bunting.

I wanted a coaching change, but I can't say I feel great about it right now. John Bunting is a good guy who, like me, loves his alma mater. He just couldn't get it done on the field.

Coach, you gave us two of the greatest wins in Carolina football history. It wasn't always pretty, but it was clear you loved this University. Good luck.

Absolutely. John Bunting is a fantastic guy. He LOVES this university like no one I've ever seen. I wanted success for him so badly but it was not to be.
Thank you, Coach, for all your hard work, your ethic, and your love for Carolina.
GO HEELS!

This is only part of the solution. If we want a turnaround in football fortunes, we have to see changes in the leadership in the athletic department. Dick Braddour has proven he can't hire a good football coach. We need someone else running the show.

No way is Carolina going to fire head coach and AD at the same time. Baddour needs to go for a name that can win, maybe Bowden Jr at FSU or a winning I-AA coach.

I agree with the decision, and that John Bunting is a great guy who always tried hard. Its difficult to be against coach bunting in any way, but it was just time for a change.
