Mack Brown: Early Signing Period ‘Unfair’ for New Coaches

Posted Feb 7, 2019
Mack Brown was tasked with cobbling together a recruiting class with 22 days remaining before the early signing period began on Dec. 19 “I think it's very unfair to new coaches,” Brown said. “I was lucky because [UNC athletic director] Bubba [Cunningham] hired me so quickly, but for some schools, the day before Signing Day, or three days before Signing Day, it's impossible."
