CHAPEL HILL, N.C. -- Larry Fedora is out as UNC Chapel Hill's head football coach.
Athletic Director Bubba Cunningham informed Fedora of the decision Sunday morning.
In a statement, he said:
“Despite injuries, despite setbacks and hardships, Larry never made excuses. He focused his teams on overcoming adversity, and I deeply respect the way he persevered and led our program each day with integrity through some tough times. This was not an easy decision because of the deep affinity I have for Larry. It simply is time to take our football program in a new direction.”
Fedora posted a 45-43 record over seven seasons at Chapel Hill, including 2-9 this season.
Fedora has four years left on his contract and is owed $3 million per year for those four years.
