Chansky’s Notebook: A Dear John Letter

Posted Jan 17, 2019
An open letter from Mack Brown to John Swofford: Dear John, I know you don’t make the ACC football schedules, but as the guy who brought me to Carolina 30 years ago, couldn’t you have used your clout to cut me a little slack? In the first six games, my new Tar Heels might be favored one time – at home against the Appalachian State program I coached 40 years ago. (Chapelboro.com)
