closeCHAPEL HILL -- Asked again Wednesday about the job opening at Tennessee, North Carolina football coach Butch Davis gave his most definitive answer yet.
"I have absolutely no interest whatsoever in the University of Tennessee job," Davis said during the ACC teleconference.
"It's a great job, but I have no interest in it," he said. "As I've said for the last couple of weeks, I love being here, my family loves being at Carolina. We're building with the administration everything we can every single day to build a championship football program here."

Tennessee athletic director Mike Hamilton said Tuesday night that "we haven't had any conversations with any candidates at this point."
