Mack Brown Dismissed as UNC Head Coach

Mack Brown has been dismissed as the head coach of North Carolina's football team after a second stint spanning six seasons, ending with a 6-5 record and notable losses, including a 70-50 defeat to James Madison. Despite intending to return for the 2025 season, Brown was informed by Athletic Director Bubba Cunningham of his non-retention. Brown, who has a 113-78-1 record with the Tar Heels, will coach the final regular-season game against NC State, with his participation in a potential bowl game undecided. The firing has affected recruitment, leading to four-star recruit Zavion Griffin-Haynes decommitting from the program. Brown, aged 73, expressed gratitude for his tenure and aims to end the season positively. His career includes a national championship win with Texas.
