State's Chuck Amato gets one last chance to even the score with UNC's John Bunting

Posted Nov 17, 2006

John Bunting won't be North Carolina's football coach much longer. He is out at the end of the season, which is nine days away. His replacement has already been hired. But nine days is more than Bunting needs to leave a legacy that could be unmatched in the rivalry between UNC and N.C. State. No coach in the history of this family feud has gotten the goat of an opposing coach quite the way that Bunting has gotten Chuck Amato's goat. (Winston-Salem Journal)
