InsideCarolina.com has reported that an announcement will be made today possibly through a press release from the University of North Carolina that Butch Davis will be hired as the next football coach.

Scout.com: UNC to Announce Davis Hire Today

I am an avid UNC fan. I love basketball and I love football. I think this is a great hire for UNC. As Tony Kornheiser said on PTI last week, "I think he's a great college coach, and I think it's a great hire. You look around, UNC is a sleeping giant."

This should be a great day for UNC. But fans, don't start thinking next year will be a 7 or 8 win season. Granted, you never know. But we have a great core group of players with a lot of athleticism, but, there are many holes that need to be filled.

So savor, this moment. This proves that UNC truely cares about the Football program.

It is a great hire. Davis did wonders for Miami and once again in control of a program, he should do well in North Carolina. I suspect it will take a good 2-years until they can consider themselves bowl eligible with 6-7 wins.

I agree. Next year will be a true "Rebuilding year". But I would rather go through a rebuilding year than going through a year where we are 1-6 and the coach is proclaiming that programs is going in the right direction.
