help all student-athletes achieve their goals and will make<br />
the Kenan Stadium gameday experience even better . Here’s<br />
what you can do to help .<br />
1. BE HERE AND BE EARLY!<br />
Players and fans see the atmosphere on campus during game<br />
days, and we need to have the best atmosphere around .<br />
2. BE A PART OF THE OLD<br />
WELL WALK!<br />
The team will walk from the Old Well to the stadium 2 hours<br />
and 30 minutes before each kickoff . This <strong>Carolina</strong> tradition is<br />
your unique way to show support and get the team fired up!<br />
3. BE IN YOUR SEATS<br />
BEFORE KICKOFF!<br />
It makes an impact on the players, coaches and recruits to<br />
see the crowd hyped up when we’re taking the field . Make<br />
Kenan a great home-field advantage from the moment that<br />
the band takes the field . Plan to get in your seats early!<br />
4. GET LOUD!<br />
You can affect a game by showing your support for the Heels,<br />
and there is no better way to do that than by getting loud!<br />

DEAR CAROLINA FANS:<br />
Thank you for spending<br />
part of your day with the<br />
Tar Heels and for sharing<br />
the experience of a<br />
college football weekend<br />
with friends and family<br />
of all ages . Athletics is<br />
a great way for alumni<br />
and friends to reconnect<br />
with the university<br />
and with Chapel Hill .<br />
Football games at Kenan Stadium offer many<br />
opportunities to create memories that last a<br />
lifetime . There’s tailgating with friends, touring the<br />
campus, welcoming our team at the Old Well Walk,<br />
and, of course, four quarters of exciting action .<br />
This Fan Guide provides a timeline of events and<br />
activities, information on parking and tailgating,<br />
a map of Kenan Stadium and its surrounding<br />
areas, a team <strong>roster</strong>, and so much more .<br />
The Loudermilk Center for Excellence is a major<br />
addition in the east end of the stadium . Thank you<br />
for your patience as we built this beautiful facility<br />
and as we welcome fans into the Blue Zone for<br />
the very first time this fall . This guide has some<br />
answers to your questions about this new part of<br />
the stadium and you can also ask the ushers and<br />
stadium personnel for any assistance in getting<br />
around the newly renovated Kenan Stadium .<br />

We hope you will enjoy a safe and exciting game<br />
day experience at the University of <strong>North</strong> <strong>Carolina</strong> .<br />
Please remember to display good sportsmanship<br />
and be good neighbors to other fans inside the<br />
stadium and also in the community . Let’s keep<br />
Chapel Hill clean and safe and allow everyone<br />
to fully enjoy his or her day at the stadium .<br />
Go Heels!<br />
Dick Baddour<br />
Director of Athletics<br />

football games and more than 200 men’s basketball<br />
games, including the 2009 national championship .<br />
He called play-by-play on the network during several<br />
ACC Tournaments, the Las Vegas Invitational, Puerto<br />

special Internet features that have been shown online,<br />
at various athletic venues, and at special events<br />
such as the 100-year celebration of <strong>Carolina</strong> Basketball<br />
. He was an associate producer on the commemorative<br />
DVD that chronicled the 2005 men’s<br />
basketball national championship .<br />

I’M A TAR HEEL. It’s a simple statement—a phrase that can<br />
mean something different for each person who says it. Underlying<br />
it is a thread common to each member of the <strong>Carolina</strong> Family. That<br />
underlying thread is the commitment each Tar Heel has to do things<br />
the <strong>Carolina</strong> Way—with great integrity, a dedication to fellow Tar Heels,<br />
an unwavering loyalty to <strong>Carolina</strong>, and a commitment to excellence.<br />
The <strong>Carolina</strong> Way also entails a commitment to excellence—a<br />
commitment that is unrivaled elsewhere. It is evident in <strong>Carolina</strong>’s 37<br />
team national championships, 54 individual national championships,<br />
and numerous conference titles. It is evident in the classroom as<br />
<strong>Carolina</strong> boasts an outstanding 85 percent graduation rate among<br />
student-athletes. It is evident in the community as Tar Heel studentathletes<br />
and staff performed more than 20,000 hours of community<br />
service last year.<br />
The Rams Club shares the commitment to a high level of excellence<br />
that is characteristic of this University. The Rams Club supports<br />
<strong>Carolina</strong>’s broad-based athletics program by offering scholarship and<br />
program support assistance to more than 450 student-athletes in 28<br />
varsity sports each year.<br />
As a Rams Club member, you can enjoy the pride of investing in our<br />
student-athletes and their success. Your renewed membership in The<br />
Rams Club gives our outstanding student-athletes an opportunity<br />
to give their own definition of what it means TO BE A TAR HEEL.
I believe in <strong>Carolina</strong>…and in its dedication<br />
to do things the right way.<br />
I’m Tydreke Powell, and I’m a Tar Heel.<br />

COACH WITHERS<br />
52<br />
Charlotte native<br />
Everett Withers was<br />
promoted to interim<br />
head coach on July<br />
28, <strong>2011</strong> . Withers<br />
is in his 24th season<br />
as a coach and has<br />
experience at both<br />
the professional and<br />
college level . He has<br />
served as <strong>Carolina</strong>’s<br />
defensive coordinator<br />
and secondary<br />
coach the last three<br />
seasons .<br />
Decimated by personnel losses and injuries in 2010, <strong>Carolina</strong>’s<br />
defense still ranked fourth in the ACC and 30th in the country<br />
as the Tar Heels played with a new lineup virtually every week .<br />
Defensive tackle Quinton Coples earned first-team All-ACC<br />
honors and linebacker Bruce Carter was a second-team pick .<br />
Following the season, five Tar Heel defensive players were<br />
taken in the NFL Draft, including first-round selection Robert<br />
Quinn, who missed all of the 2010 season .<br />
In addition to his duties as the coordinator, Withers oversees<br />
the defensive secondary, which has developed into one of<br />
the best units in the country . <strong>Carolina</strong> picked off 19 passes<br />
in 2010 to match the previous year’s total, and has 58<br />
interceptions over the past three seasons . Safety Da’Norris<br />
Searcy, a fifth-round pick by Buffalo, led the team with four<br />
interceptions in 2010 .<br />
In 2009, the Tar Heels’ defense was among the nation’s elite,<br />
ranking sixth in total defense, 10th against the run, 13th in<br />
scoring defense and 14th in pass defense . <strong>Carolina</strong> was the<br />
only school in the country ranked in the top 15 in total yards<br />
allowed, scoring defense, run defense, pass defense, pass<br />
efficiency defense, third-down defense and tackles for losses .<br />
Six <strong>Carolina</strong> defenders were named all-conference, including<br />
first-team picks Quinn, Quan Sturdivant, Kendric Burney and<br />
Deunta Williams . <strong>Carolina</strong> had 19 interceptions and set a<br />
single-season ACC record with 508 interception return yards .<br />
Withers was nominated in 2009 for the Broyles Award, which<br />
is presented annually to the nation’s top assistant coach .
In 2008, the opportunistic Tar Heel defense ranked eighth in<br />
the country with 20 interceptions, just one shy of the school<br />
record .<br />
Withers came to <strong>North</strong> <strong>Carolina</strong> after serving one season as<br />
the University of Minnesota’s defensive coordinator in 2007 .<br />
Withers spent six seasons with the Tennessee Titans from<br />
2001-06 under head coach Jeff Fisher . From 2002-04,<br />
Withers helped the Titans defense tally 57 interceptions, which<br />
was the most for the franchise over a three-year period since<br />
1993-95 . The 57 interceptions also ranked fourth in the AFC<br />
and eighth overall during that time . The Titans totaled 21 picks<br />
in 2004, including 16 by the secondary .<br />
In 2002, Withers directed a revamped secondary that added<br />
safeties Lance Schulters and rookie Tank Williams . The new<br />
arrangement helped the defense earn a top 10 ranking and<br />
Schulters’ six interceptions were the most by a Titans safety<br />
since 1993 . Withers also developed Andre Dyson into a starter<br />
as a rookie in 2001 and helped him total 16 interceptions<br />
during his four-year Titan career, including six his final season .<br />
Prior to working with the Titans, Withers was defensive backs<br />
coach under Mack Brown at Texas from 1998-2000 .<br />
Withers joined the Longhorns after three seasons (1995-<br />
97) as defensive coordinator at Louisville . While at Louisville,<br />
Withers helped current New York Giants All-Pro cornerback<br />
Sam Madison earn All-America honors for the Cardinals .<br />
Withers’ first National Football League experience came with<br />
the New Orleans Saints where he worked as defensive quality<br />
control in 1994 . Prior to his experience with the Saints, Withers<br />
was defensive backs coach at Southern Mississippi for two<br />
seasons (1992-93) and outside linebackers coach at Tulane in<br />
1991 . The first three years of Withers’ coaching career came<br />
at Austin Peay, where he was defensive coordinator (1988-89)<br />
and special teams/wide receivers coach (1990) .<br />
Withers earned his bachelor’s degree from Appalachian State<br />
in 1985 . He was also a standout defensive back and captain for<br />
the Mountaineers from 1981-85 . Withers and his wife, Kara,<br />
have two children, Tia and Pierce .<br />
