HEAD COACH
BUNTING
By Lee Pace, Extra Points
Five years into his tenure as head coach at the University of North Carolina,
the picture of John Bunting has come into sharp focus. The 1972 graduate of
Carolina has resurrected the Tar Heel program from the depths of the 2002-03
seasons to a program that has the fourth-best cumulative record within the 12team ACC over the 2005-06 seasons.
The brushstrokes in the Bunting portrait begin with the handshake and the
eyes.
Jason Brown, a three-year starter at center for the Tar Heels and today a
member of the NFL’s Baltimore Ravens, remembers first meeting Bunting on
his recruiting trip in early 2001.
“He got my hand in that vise-like grip and looked me dead in the eye,”
Brown says. “He didn’t say a word at first. He’s got that passionate look that
demands respect. Then and there I decided this was the man I wanted to lead
me for four years. You feel his electricity.”
Adds John Anderson, a teammate of Bunting’s at Carolina from 1969-71:
“John’s got linebackers’ eyes. The intensity burns through. It’s like you can see
them a mile away.”
There is a discipline and loyalty Bunting shows toward his alma mater, the
school where Bunting earned All-ACC honors and helped the Tar Heels earn
the ACC title in 1971. His most treasured ritual is walking from the Old Well to
Kenan Stadium with his players two and a half hours before every home game,
sometimes fighting back tears when he spots an old teammate along the avenue
of musicians, cheerleaders, kids and old grads. He stands at attention facing the
UNC student section, cap over his heart, for the post-game playing of Hark The
Sound after every game. During difficult back-to-back losses to Maryland and
Clemson late in the 2002 season, Bunting found solace anchoring himself by
frequent glances at the Bell Tower, the 172-foot landmark that looms just
beyond the northernmost gate to Kenan Stadium.
“I drew on the Bell Tower,” Bunting says. “I just fixed on the Bell Tower. It
was a beacon for me those two years. It’s still a focus for me. When I go out in
that stadium, if I look at one thing, it’s the Bell Tower.”
The Bunting image is one of directness, sincerity and candor. There’s never
a song and dance. What you see is what you get.
“He’s genuine,” says Gordon Walters, a mid-1980s Tar Heel, a 1988
Carolina graduate and today head coach at South Brunswick High in Southport,
N.C. “When you meet as many college coaches as I do and have as many come
through your school as I have over the years, you learn to read them pretty
well. You can tell who’s genuine and who’s not, who’ll stick and who won’t.
Coach Bunting is genuine. He wants to win, but he wants to win the right way
and he cares about the kids. He’s a guy all Carolina fans and grads should support because there aren’t many of them like that.”
Intelligence has long been a quality associated with a player who took a
“coach-on-the-field” persona into years of battle as a linebacker with the Tar
Heels and later with the Philadelphia Eagles of the NFL.
“John not only knew his assignment, but he knew the assignments of 10
other positions on the field,” says former Tar Heel teammate and current ACC
Commissioner John Swofford.
“John Bunting as a player knew more about our defense than our coordinator, Marion Campbell, who was a defensive genius,” Eagles linebacker Bill
Bergey adds.
But his five years running the Carolina program has added the word “teachable” and “quick study” to the Bunting portfolio. When he took the Tar Heel
job in December 2000, Bunting knew all the X-and-Os and blocking-and-tack70
ling fundamentals he needed. What he had to develop were the skills of hiring assistant coaches, recruiting at the most competitive levels of college football
and running a high-profile program within the context of a public university.
“There was so much to learn,” Bunting says. “We
made mistakes along the way. But we constantly
reviewed and improved every aspect of this program.
Our first year in recruiting, we were trying to catch
up on the current seniors in high school. Today we
have our fingers on the top prospects for two and
three years down the road. In July of 2006, we’ll
have 20 to 25 of the top prospects for the class of
2008 on our campus. We’ve never been this far
ahead of the game in recruiting.”
Most important is the confidence and security
Bunting has as a natural leader, a man whom Tar
Heel players and fans can easily rally around.
“We believe in this man, we believe in this program, it’s headed in the right
direction,” Chancellor James Moeser said after the 2004 season finale when
Bunting’s contract was extended through the 2009 season. “This team represents Carolina at its best.”
“We had to change the culture, and John’s done that,” Athletic Director Dick
Baddour added. “We weren’t tough enough, and we’d forgotten how to win.”
Frank Cignetti Jr., the Tar Heels’ new offensive coordinator, joined the staff
in December 2005 and said he ultimately took the job because of his respect
for Bunting and the opportunity Carolina has to reclaim its position as one of
the top programs in college football. He said every potential Tar Heel should
have two goals - to earn a degree and then play in the NFL.
“And we have a head coach who has done both,” Cignetti says. “You can’t
have a better role model than that.”
John Bunting was first attracted to the University of North Carolina in the
mid-1960s when the basketball Tar Heels of Coach Dean Smith visited the
University of Maryland’s Cole Field House, located just a few miles from
Bunting’s home in Silver Spring, Md. He liked the Carolina blue uniforms and
was impressed by the Tar Heels’ demeanor - focused, calm under pressure,
relentless in their pursuit of victory.
Tar Heel Head Football Coach Bill Dooley saw in Bunting a tough, strong
athlete, an intelligent player and one who could help anchor a growing program
and become a player others would look to for direction. Those were qualities

from 1976-82, a period that included the Eagles winning the 1981 NFC
Championship before losing to Oakland in the Super Bowl.
“His passion for the game and the team were clear from the beginning,”
says Vermeil. “He was a player you could build around, one who exemplified
the characteristics you want in a football player. John defined the expression,
‘Winning with character.’”
• Exhibited extraordinary courage and desire to recover from a serious knee
injury during the 1978 season. He had cartilage removed and ligaments
repaired-major surgery at the time with a long convalescence. Many players
don’t recover.
“Surgical and rehab techniques weren’t what they are today,” says Frank
LeMaster, a fellow Eagles linebacker at the time. “He was in rehab six days a
week, five hours a day. He had ice on his knee constantly. He paid the price
dearly.”
• Played an integral role in the 1982 NFL players strike, which saw an eightweek work stoppage. Bunting was the Eagles’ players representative to the NFL
Players Association and was a member of the players’ executive committee.
Teammates and NFL officials felt the Eagles were one of the most unified and
informed clubs in the league because of Bunting’s work.

selected by the San Diego Chargers. In 2002, Sims,
who played under Browning for three years, was
selected by the Kansas City Chiefs in the first round
with the No. 6 pick.
In 2005, Carolina’s defense improved
dramatically, ranking No. 42 nationally, an
improvement of more than 60 positions
from the previous season.
Browning is no stranger to success
on defense. The Tar Heels led the ACC
in total defense from 1995-97 and finished No. 2 in the nation in yards
allowed in 1996 and 1997. The Tar Heels
were third in the country against the run in 1996
allowing 73.9 yards per game. In 1997, Carolina
was fourth in the nation stopping the run as the
opponents averaged 77.9 yards per contest. UNC
held opponents to less than 50 yards rushing in six
games and less than 100 yards in nine of 12 games.
As defensive coordinator in 2000, Browning
directed a UNC defense that led the ACC and set a
school record with 53 sacks. Carolina finished 19th
in the nation against the run, allowing just 103.5
yards per game, and was second in the league and
30th in the nation in total defense.
In four seasons as tight ends coach, Browning
developed several standout players, including Zach
Hilton, Bobby Blizzard and Jon Hamlett. Under
Browning’s tutelage, Hilton blossomed into a solid
NFL prospect and plays for the New Orleans Saints.
Blizzard earned honorable-mention All-ACC
acclaim in 2002.
Browning was the head coach and athletic director at Northern High School for 18 years. He posted a 178-35 record and won the 1993 4-A state title
and Shrine Bowl. Over his last three years,
Northern built a 43-2 record and he was named the
North Carolina Coach of the Year by the Associated
Press in 1992 and 1993. He became only the third
coach to win both the state title and Shrine Bowl in
the same year.
Carolina has had seven winning seasons and
played in seven bowl games during Browning’s 12
seasons at Carolina.
Browning and his wife, Susan, have three sons –
Chuck, John and Joe.

last four regular-season contests and
earned a berth in the Continental Tire
Bowl.
Connors came to Carolina after
spending 10 seasons as East Carolina’s
Director of Strength & Conditioning.
Under Connors, the Pirates were one

country. In 1996, the ECU defense
did not allow a point in the fourth
quarter until the seventh game of
the season and in 1999, the Pirates
outscored their opponents, 102-56,
in the final period. In 2000, ECU had a 94-57
advantage in the fourth quarter.
Connors’ was the head
strength and conditioning
coach at Bucknell
prior to his experience at East
Carolina.
Several of Connors’ former assistants are now head
strength and conditioning
coaches at other universities, including:
John Williams,
Director of
Strength &
Conditioning at Baylor; Tom Howley, Director of
Strength & Conditioning at Cornell; Jay Butler,
Director of Strength & Conditioning at Rutgers;
Jennifer Jones, Head Coach of Strength &
Conditioning for Women’s Sports at Texas A&M;
Sonny Sano, Director of Strength & Conditioning at
Ohio; Toby Jacobi, Strength & Conditioning Coach
at Western Carolina; Josh Bush, Head Strength
Coach, Morgan State.
Connors was the featured speaker at the 1995
National Strength and Conditioning Association
Conference in Phoenix, the 1996 NSCA Conference
in Atlanta and the 2003 NSCA Conference. In
1996, he was the Regional Director of the Year and
was nominated for National Strength Coach of the
Year in 1991.
Connors is a competitive powerlifter and has
won four state titles in powerlifting and has been
ranked as high as fourth nationally. He holds Level
I certification in Olympic Weight Lifting by the
U.S. Weight Lifting Federation.
A 1980 graduate of Salem (W. Va.) College,
Connors was a four-year starter at cornerback and
was team captain as a senior. He led Salem in interceptions as a sophomore and junior.
After college, Connors served as a police officer
in South Florida for two years. Prior to becoming a
strength coach, Connors coached high school football and wrestling at The Benjamin School in North
Palm Beach, Fla., and he later coached linebackers
at the Tennessee Military Institute in Sweetwater,

games, largely due to
its defensive
improvement. In
those four games,
the Tar Heels
allowed an average of 338 yards
per game, including just 234 yards
in a bowl-clinching victory over
Duke. That was
the fewest yards
allowed by a
Tar Heel team
since the 2001
Peach Bowl.
Sanders also
made an impact
on the UNC
defensive backs as Carolina intercepted eight passes.
Sanders came to Carolina after coaching one season at Nebraska, where he helped lead the Huskers
to a 10-3 record, including a victory over Michigan
State in the Alamo Bowl. Nebraska, Sanders’ alma
mater, ranked first in the nation in pass efficiency
defense and led the nation with 32 interceptions in
his one season in Lincoln. Sanders was instrumental
in the development of 2003 Thorpe Award candidate
and All-America safety Josh Bullocks. Bullocks set
Nebraska and Big 12 Conference records with 10
interceptions, a mark which tied
for first in the country.
Sanders became a
member of the
Nebraska coaching staff in 2003 after serving two
years as the secondary coach at Colorado State
(2001-02) under Sonny Lubick. Colorado State
posted a 17-9 record during Sanders’ two seasons in
Fort Collins. The Rams posted a 10-4 record and
won the Mountain West Conference championship
in 2002.
Before his two seasons at CSU, Sanders spent
one season at New Mexico State, where he coached
defensive ends and outside linebackers. Sanders
spent five seasons at Nebraska-Omaha from 1995 to
1999. He was the Mavericks’ secondary coach for
all five seasons and was the team's defensive coordinator for his final three years in Omaha. UNO
won two North Central Conference titles and
appeared in the NCAA Division II playoffs twice
during Sanders’ tenure.
A native of Markham, Ill., Sanders was the secondary coach at Minnesota-Morris in 1994, where
he also served as sports information director.
Sanders coached at Nebraska Wesleyan in 1992 and
1993. He has 13 years of experience as a college
coach.
Sanders earned three letters at Nebraska from
1987 to 1989. He started the first seven games of
his senior season at free safety, before suffering a
shoulder injury. Sanders finished the 1989 campaign
with 26 tackles and two interceptions in nine games
and earned honorable-mention All-Big Eight honors.
Sanders received his bachelor’s degree in business administration from Nebraska in 1990. He is
married to the former Susan M. Hyland of Omaha,
Neb. They have a daughter, Chandler Marie (14)
and a son, Payton (10).

Mark Weber enters his first season as
North Carolina’s offensive line coach.
Weber is a 26-year coaching veteran
who most recently teamed with
the Tar Heels’ offensive coordinator Frank Cignetti for
two seasons at Fresno
State.
During his coaching
career, which also
includes stints at UCLA,
UNLV and Oregon
State, Weber has mentored the likes of
Fresno State All-America
Logan Mankins, a firstround pick of the New
England Patriots and Kris
Farris, who won the 1998
Outland Trophy and earned
All-America honors at
UCLA.
Weber joins the
Carolina staff after coaching some of the top linemen in Fresno State history in 2004 and 2005.
Last season, the Bulldog
line helped pave the way
for a 1,000-yard rusher, a
3,000-yard passer, nearly 38
points per game and produced
freshman All-America guard Cole
Popevich and first-team AllWestern Athletic Conference
picks Dartagon Shack and Kyle
Young.
In 2004, guard Ryan Wendell
was a freshman All-America selection, while Mankins earned All-
America and first-team All-WAC honors under
Weber’s tutelage. That season, Fresno State averaged 52.8 points over the last six games and became
just the sixth team in NCAA history to score 50 or more points in
four consecutive contests. The
Bulldogs finished 9-3, led the
WAC in average yards per
carry (5.4) and scored 65
touchdowns. Fresno capped
that season with a 37-34 win
over Virginia in the MPC
Computer Bowl.
The Bulldogs went
to bowl games in
each of Weber’s two seasons.
Weber spent seven seasons at UCLA (19972003) prior to his stint at Fresno, helping guide the
Bruins to five bowl appearances, including the 1999
Rose Bowl and a pair of Pac-10 titles. At UCLA, he
coached two first-team All-Americas, including
Farris, three freshmen All-Americas and six players
who garnered All-Pac-10 honors.
Additionally, Weber was a part of some recordsetting offenses at UCLA, including the 1998 squad
that put up a school-record 5,947 total yards and the
1997 team that scored a UCLA-record 447 points.
The Bruins posted a 20-game winning streak over
the 1997-98 seasons and finished ranked in the
nation's top 10 both years.
Before coaching at UCLA, Weber was UNLV's
assistant head coach and offensive line coach from
1994-96 and served in the same capacity at Nevada
in 1993. He also coached Oregon State’s offensive
line from 1987-90.
Weber got his coaching start as an assistant at
Los Angeles Valley College in 1979 before spending
two seasons as a graduate assistant at Idaho State
from 1980-81, as the Bengals captured an NCAA
Division I-AA national championship. He has also
made coaching stops at Snow College (1982),
Eastern New Mexico (1983-84), West Texas State
(1985-86) and Missouri Western State College
(1991).
The 48-year old Weber is a 1980 graduate of Cal
Lutheran and also earned a master’s degree in physical education in 1981. He played offensive guard
for two seasons and was named an honorable mention Small College All-America.
Weber and his wife, Kathryn, have two daughters, Alexandra and KaCee.

CHANCELLOR
Under the leadership of Dr. James Moeser, its
ninth chancellor, the University of North
Carolina at Chapel Hill embraces an ambitious
vision for the future - to be America’s leading
public university.
Moeser has championed a nationally recognized commitment to improving the University's
accessibility to deserving low-income students.
He leads an effort to strengthen the University’s
service to North Carolina’s people and communities. He has overseen an unprecedented physical transformation of the main campus, the most
successful private fund-raising campaign in
University history, growth in faculty research,

enhancements to undergraduate education.
MOESER
Moeser’s bold leadership resulted in the
Chancellor
University's launch of the Carolina Covenant, a
Seventh Year at Carolina
groundbreaking initiative to make a UNC education possible debt-free for low-income students.
When announced in 2003, the Carolina Covenant was a first for a major U.S.
public university. Other campuses including Harvard, Stanford, Virginia,
Maryland, Michigan and the State of Wisconsin later created similar programs.
The University’s ties to North Carolina are so important that Moeser began an
effort in 2004 to strengthen connections between Carolina and the state.
Through his “Carolina Connects” initiative, Moeser seeks to highlight and
enhance how the University serves North Carolina's people and communities.
Moeser was unanimously elected chancellor in 2000 by the UNC Board of
Governors and arrived after four years as chancellor of the University of
Nebraska at Lincoln.
A concert organist, Moeser began his career at the University of Kansas,
eventually becoming organ department chairman and School of Fine Arts dean.
He served The Pennsylvania State University as dean of the College of Arts and
Architecture and executive director of University Arts Services. He was vice
president for academic affairs and provost of the University of South Carolina
until becoming Nebraska's chancellor in 1996.
The Federal Bureau of Investigation appointed Moeser to the National
Security Higher Education Advisory Board in 2005. He serves on the College
CHANCELLOR MOESER ASSESSES STATE OF
UNIVERSITY, FUTURE PROSPECTS
As Chancellor Moeser begins his seventh year, he
shares his thoughts about the University's accomplishments and future.
Q.: Why is becoming the nation’s leading public university so important?
A.: We want Carolina to be the best that it can be, to
lead among America’s best public universities. That sets
expectations very high. But, considering our heritage as
the nation's first public university, it's appropriate. If we
succeed in achieving this goal, the beneficiaries will be
the people of North Carolina.
Q: What is the current state of the University?
A: The University has made great strides that should
make people proud of their UNC ties. We will enroll our
third class of Carolina Covenant Scholars this fall, as well
as one of the most academically prepared freshman classes University history. A $1.8 billion construction and renovation program, the largest on any U.S. campus, will
enhance our capacity to learn, teach and serve. Over the
past decade, faculty research funding has increased,
affirming our status among the national leaders in health
care, science and technology. We are enjoying a true renaissance of the arts and humanities on campus. Alumni
and friends are giving at even higher levels - well beyond
our projections - to the Carolina First Campaign, whose
volunteer leaders have increased the goal to $2 billion. We
are moving forward with tremendous momentum.
Q. What have you learned from your “Carolina
Connects” initiative across the state?
A. The University serves the state every day in meaningful ways. The University has always played a major
Board's National Commission on Writing and two Association of American
University committees studying the cost of research and internationalization.
The NCAA selected him for its Presidential Task Force on the Future of
Division I Intercollegiate Athletics and its fiscal responsibility subcommittee. He
is part of the CEO Group of Six, a group of presidents and chancellors from the
major athletic conferences.
A native of Colorado City, Texas, Moeser holds two degrees from the
University of Texas: a bachelor of music with honors in 1961 and a master of
music in musicology in 1964. The Graduate School at Texas honored him with
its 2001 Outstanding Alumnus Award. He studied in Berlin and Paris on a
Fulbright Scholarship and earned a doctorate from the University of Michigan in
1967.
Moeser is married to Dr. Susan Dickerson Moeser, a fellow concert organist
and music lecturer and University organist at Carolina. His children are a son,
Chris, an attorney in Phoenix, Ariz., and a daughter, Carter, a physical therapist
in Tacoma, Wash.

role in the life of North Carolina. What I have seen
through “Carolina Connects” demonstrates that we can
and should continue to make a significant difference in
people’s lives. We have a commitment to every region and
all 100 counties. We are seeking out new ways to contribute the faculty’s expertise and our resources. For
example, a report to be finalized this fall by a task force I
am leading examines how we can further enhance our
engagement in three key areas - K-12 education, health
and economic development. Carolina is already an
engaged university, but we know that we can do more.
combines expertise in nanotechnology with patient
research at the Lineberger Comprehensive Cancer Center.
Carolina North is our proposed campus for discovery
and innovation to be built on UNC-owned land two miles
from main campus. Carolina North represents the
University's future. It will redefine our engagement with
the state, nation and world. We intend to create a vibrant
setting for business innovation. An economic impact study
projects that completion of the first two phases of
Carolina North by 2020 will create over 7,500 permanent
high-wage jobs for North Carolinians.
Q. What do you enjoy most about your interactions
with Carolina's students?
A. We must always remember that the students are
why we are here. They are at the core of what this place is
all about. I love to see the pure joy on display when new
students arrive in August and current students graduate in
May. The single most impressive thing about our students
is their devotion to this place - they truly love it - and
their commitment to public service. This University has a
big heart.
Q. What is the biggest challenge facing the
University?
A: We're always striving to be better. This is a great
university and we must never become complacent. Our
job is to make sure Carolina is always relevant to the
needs of society. Resources will always be an issue. Our
state support has been generous and remains essential. We
face intense competition to recruit and retain the best faculty and to attract the best students. That's why the
Carolina First Campaign is so critical, creating 200 new
endowed chairs for faculty and 1,000 new scholarships for
students.
Q: What do you see for the University’s future?
A: It’s exceedingly bright. We are changing rapidly to
become a better university. Let me share three examples.
This fall, we are implementing a new general education
curriculum for undergraduates that will emphasize an
international perspective and provide more opportunities
to participate in research. That will help produce graduates
who are even better-prepared for today's competitive
workplace.
Last year, we were the only university to receive eight
grants in the National Institutes of Health “Roadmap for
Medical Research” initiatives, which encourage
researchers to use interdisciplinary collaboration to create
quick translations to patient care. This funding started the
Carolina Center of Nanotechnology Excellence, which
Q.: What is your favorite thing about Carolina?
A: The people and their love for this special place. I
have never been part of a university community in which
there is so much pride. There is a genuine commitment to
making the University even better. I have especially
enjoyed witnessing the passion that our alumni, students,
faculty and staff have for Carolina and how fondly those
who have left recall their experiences in Chapel Hill. All
of those emotions combine in full force when it comes to
Tar Heel athletics. We have wonderful fans who are rightly proud of a model athletics program. Go Heels!
