Back in Carolina Blue, Mack Brown Is Rebooting UNC With Something Old and Something New
Posted Apr 11, 2019
Mack Brown collides with familiar and new every day in the job he wasn’t sure he’d ever have again. Brown once knew Rick Steinbacher as a 21-year-old linebacker. He returned to find a forty-something associate athletic director. Tommy Thigpen was once a captain of Brown’s team. Now Thigpen coaches inside linebackers for Brown’s team.
