Chansky’s Notebook: No Comfort Zone

Posted Sep 20, 2023
Mack Brown’s Tar Heel team is undefeated but hasn’t played well enough to get the coach close to comfortable. "We won nine, we hadn’t won nine games in a long time," he said of last year. "Then we got comfortable, and you can’t get comfortable in life." On going to Pitt Saturday, he told his team, "I want you to be 4-0, and you can’t get comfortable." (Chapelboro.com)
