His most successful season was in 2015 when he led the team to an 11-3 record and an appearance in the ACC Championship Game.

Larry Fedora was fired by North Carolina in 2018, so he did not coach the team that season. However, during his time at North Carolina from 2012-2017, he was known for running a high-octane spread offense that emphasized tempo and explosiveness. The offense frequently used up-tempo no-huddle schemes, and often featured a lot of pre-snap motion to try and create mismatches or confusion for the defense. Fedora's offense relied heavily on the quarterback position, and often utilized both designed quarterback runs and quick, short passes to help move the ball down the field. In terms of overall offensive philosophy, Fedora emphasized an aggressive, attacking approach that focused on getting the ball into the hands of his playmakers and letting them create big plays.
