Wow going with the old instead of taking a chance on the new. Should be interesting.

Is it an attempt to gain a little integrity into their athletic program?

Thats a bad hire! Might as well of hired Lou Holtz!

What a weird hire

I can’t imagine this works out well for them but who knows

A long time ago. But I’ve changed, you’ve changed... let’s give it another run. Oh and we don’t even make our kids go to school here anymore so there’s that”

This won’t be popular to many of my Tigernet brethren but I like Mac Brown. Except when he plays us, I’ll hope him the best.

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

Surprising. Guessing he's a young 67


Nov 26, 2018, 9:29 AM

One site had three candidates: Brown, Gene Chizik and Tony Elliot. I know which one I'd pick. Thankfully, it doesn't appear they're that smart.

Guess that classes will be optional again!!!

Old fossil studies might see a bump in attendance with Mack Brown though

Checks calendar. Nope, not April 1


Nov 26, 2018, 9:32 AM

I don’t know what to be happy about the most:
1). That I don’t have to listen to his inane yammering as a color commentator.
2). Even if he somehow hires a quality staff, he’ll be there what, 4-5 years because of his age? This seems like a really big recruiting win.

I mean, it’s peak “we don’t know what to do here” from UNC’s administration.

Great recruiter if anything else, if he is able to lock down North Carolina that could hurt us.

Most overrated coach of the last 30 years. With the


Nov 26, 2018, 9:41 AM

talent he had at Texas he's also the most underachieving coach of the last 30 years. Has won 67% of his games and his last 4 years at Texas were a disaster. UNC has decided to go the SCar route and offer a retirement plan to an aging coach who no longer has the fire to win, ala Holtz and Spurrier.

Re: TNET: UNC reportedly hiring back Mack Brown


Nov 26, 2018, 9:49 AM

My guess is he reached out to them and offered to coach his first few years for free until they pay off Fedora.

Brown hired. Next question for AD is


Nov 26, 2018, 10:08 AM

Who will actually coach and relate to the players?

The young guys will relate to Mack Brown just fine...as long as they are happy to hear the same stories over and over again about how good Vince Young was.

Re: Brown hired. Next question for AD is


Nov 26, 2018, 10:55 AM

I would expect Gene Chizik to be hired as the head coach in waiting. Should go as smoothly as the Muschump head coach in waiting at Texas went.

Re: TNET: UNC reportedly hiring back Mack Brown


Nov 26, 2018, 10:53 AM

Wow, the coach looked really lost in his last year at Texas, like dementia kind of lost. I don't know about this decision...

You can’t fix stupid. Not that Mack is, just the hire.***

Nov 26, 2018, 11:38 AM

can hire some young coordinators like Kingsbury for the offense.

Nov 26, 2018, 12:01 PM

All of us old guys think we still have value to offer. I have no problems with Mac, other than his grating voice.

He will hire a well above average staff and will give us fits in NC in recruiting. Good thing we have a strong line of success that attracts talent!

Btw - I agree, Kingsbury would be a fabulous OC!!!

You will see an immediate improvement in this Tarhole squad.

Wow.. what an awful hire. I think just listening to him during games on ESPN


Nov 26, 2018, 12:01 PM

is enough reason to not hire him. The guy sounds like a dope... plus he's old and washed at this point.

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

you youngsters may not remember


Nov 26, 2018, 1:39 PM

Mack had back to back 1-10 seasons his first two years in Chapel Hill in the late 1980's..

with the personnel on campus he may have a repeat performance


FWIW he is 2 months older than Nick Saban

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

i think it's a good hire... he will be strictly CEO


Nov 26, 2018, 1:50 PM

they'll go out and get two young, really good coordinators who will run the show... and he'll eventually turn it over to one of them.

Sort of like that old sweater that you haven't worn in a decade that you pull from the back of the closet. It's still comfortable and a good fit, but people are still laughing behind your back at how old and worn you look.
