Carolina football fans are invited to learn more about Tar Heel head football coach John Bunting in this comprehensive series of articles by Lee Pace, editor and publisher for 11 years of Extra Points, a newsletter devoted to the careful study of UNC football.
Pace interviewed dozens of family members, former teammates, players and coaches who have touched and been touched by Bunting for this exclusive series. From his youth in Silver Spring, Md., to his days as a Tar Heel from 1968-71, from his days as a Philadelphia Eagle to his start in the coaching business at Rowan University, "The Bunting Era Dawns For Carolina" helps you relive the influences and special moments that have shaped Bunting's life.
Editor's Note: These chapters as well as additional material--and a foreword from Dick Vermeil--will be presented in a special soft-cover print edition this summer. Watch TarHeelBlue.com for more details.
