Connie
Altman, Game Chairman of the 73rd Shrine
Bowl Of The Carolinas announced today that
Tar Heel Head Football Coach, Butch Davis
has accepted the invitation to be the
special guest speaker for the Shrine Bowl
Coaches and Players Awards Banquet on Friday
evening, December 18th, 2009 at 7PM, in the
Marriott Renaissance Park Hotel and
Conference Center in downtown Spartanburg,
South Carolina.
Billy Benfield, Chairman of the Shrine Bowl
Board of Governors said, “We are most
delighted to have Coach Davis speak to our
coaches, players, parents and fans of the
Shrine Bowl of the Carolinas. As one of
America's premier collegiate coaches, his
personal commitment to discipline and the
importance he places on the standards of
excellence on and off the field
is extraordinary".
Introduced
as North Carolina’s head coach on Nov. 13,
2006, Davis quickly rejuvenated the fan base
and brought excitement to every Saturday at
Kenan Stadium. Davis has connected with
student-athletes and fans alike with his
brand of fast, hard-nosed, disciplined
football.
Carolina improved from 4-8 in 2007 to 8-5 in
2008, the sixth-best turnaround in the
country. The Tar Heels won games over bowl
teams Rutgers, Miami, Connecticut, Notre
Dame, Boston College and Georgia Tech and
were in the hunt for the 2008 ACC
championship until the final week of the
season. Carolina’s eight wins were its most
since 2001. The Tar Heels earned an
invitation to the Meineke Car Care Bowl in
Charlotte, its first postseason game since
2004.
