For fans of a certain age, Mack Brown's return recalls UNC's glory days

No one from the UNC was officially commenting on the search for a football coach Monday or the reports that the Tar Heels had their man. But from T-shirt shop to coffeeshop along Franklin Street, football fans expressed excitement at the prospect of Mack Brown coming back. At Merritt's Grill, fans old enough to remember that stint said bringing Mack back is a good thing. (WRAL Sports Fan)
