His team’s big plans for the season didn’t include spending the holidays in Nashville, but North Carolina coach Butch Davis won’t complain about the way things worked out.Davis says he will look back on this season with pride rather than disappointment.
North Carolina entered the season with arguably the most talent of any team in the ACC—particularly on defense—but NCAA investigations into academic misconduct and improper contact with agents gutted the Tar Heels’ roster for much of the season.
Rather than winning an ACC title and earning a trip to the Orange Bowl, North Carolina (7-5) barely finished above .500 and received an invitation to Thursday’s Music City Bowl vs. Tennessee (6-6).
Davis refuses to dwell on what might have been.
