In the wake of the Tar Heels' abysmal offensive performances against Georgia Tech and Virginia early in the 2009 season, Butch Davis was asked about coordinator John Shoop and if Davis still had confidence that Shoop was the proper engineer.

Davis quickly answered that he thought the criticism was unfair, that Shoop was a bright coach and that the offensive staff was working extremely hard to overcome the problems that had dogged it all year and particularly the last two weeks—performances that combined had netted only one touchdown and just over three yards a snap.
