‘A void in your life’: How UNC coach Mack Brown rediscovered himself and his purpose

Posted May 17, 2019
It’s Sunday in late November 2018. Mack Brown walks off an ESPN set and sees Bubba Cunningham’s name on his phone. Larry Fedora, after 3-9 and 2-9 seasons at UNC, is out. “Bubba says I want you to do this,” Brown says. The Browns were on a plane to Chapel Hill the next day. “Sally said it best, We never left Chapel Hill. We just moved to Texas.” (Charlotte Observer)
