Mack Brown hoping Tar Heels break their silence before Saturday

Posted Aug 29, 2019
Don’t expect Mack Brown to rant and rave in the locker room before UNC takes the field Saturday. It’s not his style. “We’ve said coach-led teams are very average, player-led teams are very good,” Brown said. “The best teams I’ve coached, the players on the field and in the locker room handled all of it. They told them to shut up and act right and play harder.” (Heels Maven)
