WOW!!! The guy was real good at UNC thirty years ago and his record earned him the Texas head coaching gig. I have seen other instances of coaches returning to previous jobs as it did not work out well: Johnny Majors back to Pitt, and Randy Edsall at U Conn come to mind. Bill Walsh went back to Stanford and had a great first season but retired after 2 losing seasons.

Brown was a tired old man when he was pushed out at Texas. NC will be back searching in two years having burnt a few million and not won anything.

AT 67 years old Mack isn’t going to be able to relate to 17-18 y/o D-1 level kids. But hey, UNC is a hoops school so who really cares?

I don’t know. Brown had himself a well paying and easy gig with ESPN. I think football coaches are like boxers and can’t turn off the adrenaline rush that comes with their respective sports. Same thing with Jon Gruden going back to the NFL and the Raiders after a long stint with ESPN as well. I guess Bill Cowher is resisting the urge to coach again. He seems to enjoy working at CBS.

I’m close to MB’s age and eat healthy (lots of chicken & veggies), drink a ton of water and workout 5-6 days a week.

That said...

My energy level is noticeably lower than 10 years ago as is most adults at that age. Of course, there are exceptions...like DJT.

MB will not last very long...esp if he is actively engaged in recruiting. A downside, most kids/parents will know MB will not be the coach throughout the kid’s 4-yr career.

Maybe Texas Tech can bring back Leach.

Sounds like an interim coach while they
seek someone for a long range hire. JMO

Rumor around here (Nashville) is Gene Chizek will be Mack’s DC and coach in waiting, taking over 2-3 years later when Mack’s recruits start coming in.

67? I can’t wait to see the “GET OFF MY LAWN” defensive sets.

Maybe they can hire Western Kentucky’s former coach who was just hosed yesterday too?
