Larry Fedora promised Tar Heel fans in his first press conference as UNC’s football coach that he’d be bringing a new, offensive-minded philosophy to Carolina football. He told us:
As a football team, we will always be attacking. Carolina style football will be known as playing smart, playing fast and playing physical.
Now we can quibble about how much Fedora has adhered to these words in his years coaching, especially with the Tar Heel defense’s well-documented struggles. These words and this sentiment, though, was totally reflected in the players that Fedora immediately set out to recruit once he got to Chapel Hill.
