Despite reports indicating that North Carolina had hired Butch Davis as its football coach Wednesday, Davis' agent said there is no agreement.
Citing an anonymous source, the Winston-Salem Journal reported on its Web site Wednesday that former Miami Hurricanes and Cleveland Browns coach Davis had signed a contract with North Carolina.
Marvin Demoff, Davis' agent, said Wednesday evening that nothing has been finalized. He said reports indicating that Davis has signed with North Carolina are inaccurate, and it will be next week before anything is "really going to happen."
"I think there's interest in both parties," Demoff said. "We look forward to continuing discussions with that, but there is no agreement."
At least two other Web sites posted reports indicating Davis had signed, but North Carolina Associate Athletics Director for Communications Steve Kirschner said no contract had been signed.
"There is no news on the coaching search today," Kirschner said Wednesday.
