Mack Brown explains why he returned to North Carolina — and why he left Texas

Posted Jul 25, 2019
Regarding his return to UNC - which comes 22 years after first leaving Chapel Hill, and five years since coaching his last game for Texas - Mack Brown said it came down to multiple factors. "We decided, No. 1, we were not going to live anywhere we didn't want to live. And we love Chapel Hill," Brown said. "We raised our children here...and some of our kids went to UNC." (Sporting News)
