From misery to happiness: Why UNC’s Mack Brown became a football coach again at 67

Posted Aug 26, 2019
Mack Brown, who was hired to coach North Carolina football for a second time in November, has 244 career wins. He has a national championship, multiple coach of the year awards, and many other accomplishments. For most, the image of a coach at his hall of fame induction ceremony would represent the end of his career. A chapter closed. Not for Brown. (Durham Herald-Sun)
