Hours later, another source close to the situation emphasized that the 73-year-old College Football Hall of Famer, who long has taken losses hard in their immediate aftermath, isn't resigning or quitting his coaching position. "He will be in the office tomorrow and getting back to work," that source said Saturday night. "Going in and having a normal Sunday." Additional sources close to the situation said that affecting locker room scene has put the program in a state of flux, though, as school administrators weigh their next step. UNC athletic director Bubba Cunningham didn't respond to a request for comment on Saturday night.
