Fedora’s name was being discussed as a number of coaching vacancies (including South Carolina) opened across the college football this season. Fedora led the Heels to an 11-1 record in his fourth season after inheriting a program penalized by the NCAA and an athletic department in the midst of an academic scandal.
Fedora is one of only four coaches in UNC history to get a Tar Heel team to 11 wins in a season. He has an outside shot at making the College Football Playoff with an upset victory over Clemson.
The 53-year-old coach is 32-18 in four seasons at North Carolina.
