Brian Simmons back on UNC radio crew but will miss opener because a new football job

Posted Aug 30, 2021
There are no changes in the Tar Heel Sports Network radio crew for football except for Friday’s opener — because of Brian Simmons’ other job. Simmons, entering his sixth season as the analyst on the THSN, will miss the broadcast of the Virginia Tech game because he is the head coach of the Windmere Preparatory School football team in Florida.
