Mack Brown faces familiar foe in Appalachian State this weekend

Posted Sep 17, 2019
During Mack Brown’s sole season in Boone, he led the Mountaineers to a 6-5 record before going to Oklahoma to become the offensive coordinator.

Morton would frequently invite Brown to his house overlooking a 40-acre trout lake. (Daily Tar Heel)
