UNC Hoping For That Old Mack Magic

Posted Nov 26, 2018
With the expected announcement Tuesday of the return of Mack Brown as UNC's head football coach, history will have repeated itself. And surprisingly, the situation in Chapel Hill in 2018 is not all that different than in 1987, when Brown was first tapped to lead the Tar Heels. While UNC football in 1987 needed fresh blood and energy, in 2018 it needs stability and credibility. (Old North Blog)
