The next coach at North Carolina could be Butch Davis.
If he so desires.
According to ESPN.com, the Tar Heels coaching job has been tacitly offered to the former Cleveland Browns and Miami Hurricanes coach.
"It is Butch Davis if he wants," one source e-mailed ESPN.com. North Carolina, he continued, "would like a commitment soon, [in] two to three weeks from Butch."
North Carolina fired sixth-year coach John Bunting, effective at the end of the season, on Oct. 22.
Davis has begun assembling a coaching staff from the ranks of NFL and major college programs should he decide to accept the North Carolina coaching job, ESPN.com reported.
North Carolina athletic director Dick Baddour declined to comment on the search.
Davis went 24-36 in nearly four seasons in Cleveland before resigning late in the 2004 season. He coached at the University of Miami from 1995-2000, going 51-20 and rebuilding the Hurricanes into a national power.
