Special: Wes Durham on New Era of Carolina Football

Wes Durham joins Tommy Ashley and Joey Powell to offer his unique perspective about UNC football, Bill Belichick, and what success could look like this season.

Wes Durham holds a special place in the heart of many UNC fans. Being a legacy with the Durham name around Chapel Hill is a pretty solid challenge coin, but Wes has also forged an incredible career of his own making as a play-by-play man in the NFL and in the ACC. He joins Tommy Ashley and Joey Powell to offer his unique perspective about what Bill Belichick’s first team at North Carolina may be capable of, where he thinks this hire fits within the annals of UNC history, and a potential replacement for the blue chrome alternate UNC football helmets.
