He’s coaching this week but it’s uncertain if he’ll coach their bowl game

With all he has done at UNC, I would have said he has decided to step down.***

Good point. Because I think I remember someone posted on here a couple weeks ago that he was coming back. Might have been an interview or something.

Correct. It’s worded to get Mack the money. Best scenario for all involved.

I would assume that they tried to take things in that direction, but he wanted to stay.
I guess when you do something you truly love, it must be incredibly hard to step away. I don’t have that issue…I’m 55 and trying to figure out how to make the numbers work, sooner rather than later…ha!
If they actually did approach him about stepping down then I think he missed an opportunity to bow out gracefully…or maybe he gets more money if they fire him versus stepping down?

U wish he would have stepped down on his own. It amazes me how so many great coaches and athletes stick around just a little too long.

Dabo should consider bringing Brown in to coach special teams.

They don't have a very impressive class at this point. Mack has lost his touch on the recruiting trail as well. I personally think he's a stooge, but I just hold a grudge for his quitting on us after the 2009 championship game loss.

A lot of praise for rather dubious achievements. Mack Brown is a likeable guy, but didn't really get the job done.

Agreed. It was time to move on. Take some time and effort to run a program. He can afford to retire. Unc should have found him an athletic dept. support role and then let him leave or retire. His late 80’s coaches show was great as unc was very bad back then. Mack was asked to open a convenience store chain called 0&11 back then!

I wonder if their incoming star qb from East Forsyth ( NC) will open up his recruitment now. I sure would love to see him play for Clemson and not against us.

May depend on who the new coach is? He is going to have to be good at bank rolling players in this new era.

Surprised they "fired" him instead of the old "resigned" option.

he fired himself earlier in the season after James Madison steam rolled them. He's been trying to back away from that utter since. The AD said not so fast my friend. And Mack goes out looking foolish

I’m sure they tried to get him to retire but he refused. Mack is like the poker addiction that just wants to play one more hand to try to become a winner.

I understand he may have refused to resign, but seems like the best approach would've been to wait till after the NCSU game. The focus would be on that game only. The UVA game may have been the last straw.

Whelp, I guess that just made Isiah Campbell's decision for him. He decommited from us to go to Tenn or UNC. Guess Tenn it is. Really wish he'd come back and recommit to us though.

Take the buyout and enjoy sitting on the porch, Mack.
