This season is crucial for Larry Fedora

Without a doubt, the North Carolina football program is all Fedora’s. With that comes a whole new set of expectations.

No, Coach Larry Fedora isn’t going to be fired if UNC only wins six or seven games this season. There’d surely be disappointment but, after signing an extension until 2022, Fedora and North Carolina are closely tied. Take away one questionable decision (ahem Tim Beckman), and it’s clear that Carolina wants Fedora to be the face of UNC football for a long time to come.

He helped steer the program through a difficult period of sanctions and scrutinizing media attention.
