Mack Brown to UNC

Woo baby, things are going to get interesting

Looks like he was at UNC from '88 until '97, and over that span, we went 3-6-1 against them. Wins in '89, '91, and '95, tie in '90 (obviously). I seem to recall that we had a pretty good drought at Chapel Hill during that time frame until Joe Hamilton finally broke it.

He was 69–46–1 (0.600) at UNC, and 244–122–1 (0.667) at Texas. By comparison, Fedora was 0.560 at UNC, which is better than all the dudes (Torbush, Bunting, Davis) between him and Brown.

Hopefully the game has passed him by (he's been out of coaching since 2013) and he won't be able to make UNC into a respectable team again.

I think it is a good settling down move for UNC. Get him and a staff in there. Run 5-6 years of an organized program. Place his successor on the staff as head coach in waiting. Pay everyone the way Clemson would. Build stuff like Clemson has with all that UNC money.

This is not good for GT

No matter how good he makes them, they won't be respectable.

I'm glad CPJ will have someone to talk about prostate problems with.

Younger than Roy Williams!

Guy recruiting players was on tv, players don’t have to go to class, school has deep pockets...


We ded.

He left Texas in a big mess.

He can obviously do well, but not a given. Let's see who the coordinators are. Chan Gailey is available right?

Interesting that Miles and Brown get jobs while the up and comers are still waiting by the phone.

I have no idea how this will work out, but it sounds like they are going to put together a pretty expensive staff, in addition to buying out Fedora. Unc is joining the arms race.

I would be worried if they hired Mike Leach.

Mac Brown is so over the hill. It would be like us trying to bring back Bobby Ross.

Word is Mack wants Kingsbury for OC, so it might be a Leach-Lite offense. But yeah, I dont want the pirate in the ACC unless it is here.

Is that an option?

2. There may be an interesting twist: Before Inside Carolina’s report of a done deal, Austin American-Statesman columnist Kirk Bohls reported the possibility of an interesting twist, where former Auburn coach Gene Chizik (who was defensive coordinator for Fedora for two years before returning to broadcasting) could join Brown, as a defensive coordinator and potential coach in waiting.

This is by far the most intriguing coaching hire since Kansas got Les Miles.

Well, to be fair, UNC tried the upandcomer route with little success.

I just remember he really hurt us in 1990.

Damn it to hades.
