After dramatic win versus Duke, Mack Brown is the winningest football coach in UNC history

Posted Oct 27, 2019
In a topsy-turvy 2019 punctuated by season-opening comebacks, sextuple overtime losses, near-upsets against No. 1, and defeats at the hands of in-state little brothers, it’s only right that this is how Mack Brown, the old/new head coach of UNC football, became the winningest man in program history. It happened Saturday, in a 20-17 win against rival Duke. (Daily Tar Heel)
