.: Welcome to Fire Bunting

Bunting has been fired!!!!!

Tar Heel Blue: "Carolina To Make Football Coaching Change for 2007"

ESPN story: "Bunting out as UNC coach; will stay through season"

The News and Observer: "Timing of Bunting's dismissal catches students by surprise"

So much for waiting until the end of the season to make a decision. Now it all falls back into the hands of Dick Baddour, a place where careers and potential quickly fizzle away. Assuming UNC will not fire Baddour at this point (and many people hope they would), Dick's career at UNC is now on the line. Let's see how he performs under the pressure.

Our Mission

As fans of UNC athletics and as students, we feel it is our responsibility to unite the masses in a fight against the decline of our football program. It is a tradition here in Chapel Hill to have one of the best athletic departments in the country. The focal point of NCAA sports is football, the sport in which UNC currently hurts the most.

What is our objective?
To get John Bunting fired.
