Sammy: What I'm thankful for
Posted Nov 25, 2011
We all should be thankful for Everett Withers. Withers was put in an impossible situation as interim coach when Butch Davis was fired prior to the start of preseason practice. While all UNC fans would have liked more wins this season, I don't know if anyone in could have performed more nobly or professionally than Withers under the circumstances.
