SAN ANTONIO, TEXAS – Larry Fedora has been named the Grant Teaff National Coach of the Year by the Fellowship of Christian Athletes. Fedora was presented the award Monday morning at an FCA breakfest held in conjunction with the American Football Coaches Association Convention in San Antonio, Texas.
Fedora’s fourth season in Chapel Hill saw the Tar Heels return to the national discussion thanks to a record-setting offense and a vastly improved defense. Carolina posted an 11-1 regular season and captured the Coastal Division with a perfect 8-0 mark in the Atlantic Coast Conference. UNC set more than 60 school records, including a school-record 11-game winning streak, and advanced to the program’s first ACC Championship Game.
