The North Carolina Tar Heels football program made the decision to part ways with defensive coordinator Gene Chizik and defensive line coach Tim Cross on Wednesday after another disappointing season on that side of the football.
It was a move that many felt was coming as the struggles of the defense overshadowed what UNC was able to do this season. And it was time for a change.
Now, the Tar Heels go into the offseason looking for a new defensive coordinator as they promoted Ted Monachino to defensive line coach in the moves. It’s expected that UNC will move fast in this hiring process as they want to get the staff set before the transfer portal opens again and offseason work gets underway.
Here at Tar Heels Wire, we decided to put together a mock board of a few candidates we think can be on UNC’s board. This is NOT us reporting anything or sourcing anything, just a best guess of potential options.
