UNC tuning out coaching talk before bowl game

Posted Dec 5, 2011
North Carolina interim coach Everett Withers said Monday he won't let the uncertainty about his future be a distraction for the Tar Heels as they prepare for a fourth straight bowl game. The Tar Heels face Missouri in the Independence Bowl on Dec. 26. By that time, the school could have decided whether Withers should stay on as the permanent coach or if it will move on by hiring someone else. Withers said he interviewed officially for the job last week. (WRAL Sports Fan)
