Mack Brown to North Carolina?
Posted Jul 30, 2011
The Mack Brown-back-to-UNC-as-athletic director theory has bubbled up over the years, but there always were two problems. 1) Mack had a dang good job at which he was very successful; and 2) the Tar Heels had an athletic director. The problems are lessening. Mack has a dang good job but the success came to a crashing halt last season, and Dick Baddour has announced he will step down as athletic director.
