Attorney: 'Butch Davis was the logical scapegoat'

Posted Feb 11, 2012
Robert Orr, a Raleigh attorney who represented UNC football players Quinton Coples and Devon Ramsay during the school's recent NCAA-related problems, said Friday that the firing of Butch Davis and hiring of Larry Fedora as head football coach would not fundamentally change the chances of similar issues cropping up at the school. Orr said that coaches can only affect players' behavior so much. (Charlotte Observer)
