In the direction of his Miami teams from the late 1990s that is:
But Davis was quick to dispel thoughts this spring that in two seasons under his watch the Tar Heels have reached the level of the Miami Hurricanes he coached back to prominence from 1995-2000.
“The concepts and philosophies are obviously the same,” Davis said. “But we’re still not a program that has the overall team speed or the kind of depth where our second- and third-team guys are every bit as talented as the starters.
“I do think we’re moving in that direction.”
David Glenn has a nice rundown of the Tar Heels following spring practice. Be sure to check it out.

Not that BD would ask me, but I do agree. I do think our D-line is solid through at least the 2 deep. There is a fall off at linebacker but good raw talent is developing. I would say the defensive backfield is the thinnest on the D side of the ball.
Offensively, the running back position looks deep but I do think the Heels are thin at other positions. Hopefully Yates will remain healthy this year. I do hope Paulus has improved…….
