Bunting's willingness to listen has come a long way in the last few years, his players said, and that has gone a long way toward building team morale. "A long time ago when I first got here, he used to be more of a dictator," senior linebacker Larry Edwards said. "It was his way or the highway. Now, he's made steps toward becoming a players' coach. He asks for our input. He understands that our team wants to make that step of taking our game to the next level, so he's trying to help make that possible." (Durham Herald-Sun)
