[Valenth]

Good Re-Hire for the Tar Heels... He will help turn them around I'm sure.

Mack Brown has the experience (244 wins) and obvious ties to UNC having been the head coach there 20 years ago. He should restore some respect to a program that has had both competitive and NCAA issues.

thanks for answering my question....I thought Mack Brown coached there once before.....was he having some success at UNC when he left for the Texas job??......I thought at the time he took some heat for leaving the program????.

Brown was 69-46-1 as Tar Heel head coach.

Honestly he will be a "safe" placeholder coach for the Tar Heels. Seven wins a year and being competitive with the instate P-5 programs will be considered a rousing success for Brown. UNC is never going to compete with the Clemson's of the world in football, but there is a place for good but not great programs in the collegiate landscape. Boy do I miss the 1960's.

They should've opened the vault for Cutcliffe

He came in at UNC had some good years but mainly average years. As it competed with the basketball team. He left for Texas as Texas had been down. He didn't leave Texas in good shape. The National Championship win over shadowed his low points, As coaches of his age come back or to another school have not had real success lately. Maybe bringing some fan support and excitement. Not at the level as before. Spurrier and Lou Holtz did good but not what they had before. Bill Synder at Kansas State had some success when he first came back but now K State trying to figure out a way to get out Synder. Then the bring back that also did well at first then goodbye this season in Petrino in Louisville.

Bringing in Brown as a good guy is one thing but does he have to be the head coach? At his age how many realistic good years does he have left before the process starts again. Without even giving time to see who else they could have got to coach. Another coach who took a program from nothing building it up. Getting funding for improvements then leaving. Coming back later and not having any success is Rady Edsell at UCON.

I was thinking the exact same thing earlier today!! Getting Kingsbury as an O-Coordinator at Chapel Hill would be a huge get, after an absolutely fantastic hire for the head coaching position.
