Mack Brown sticking around for another season. Or not.

[RyanCuse44]

Let's hope they aren't good next year and continue to struggle like this year.

If I was a UNC fan I would be unhappy with this news but I'm not so, lol.

Dude is 73. Retire to your house in the Bahamas already. Geez

Good. We play UNC at the Dome next season. I like our chances.

Carolina never lacks for athletes.

This is great news for us

Dangit... I was hoping for an away game tailgate revenge party as I really like that parking lot.

 

[FRANKIEFAN]

Brad Johnson's kid coming back? That should be a W for us.

BREAKING NEWS: Mack Brown Will Not Coach UNC Past 2024 Season

[Todoubled23]

UNC to Mack

 

[Cusefan95]

I have no idea how accurate this is, but according to the Fayetteville Observer: if Mack Brown is terminated, as of December 1, 2024 he would get $2,812,500. If he retires, he gets $0. So I’m not surprised he didn’t choose to retire and this appears to be a board decision.

Because of the need to keep coaches on multi-year contracts for recruiting and the dollar value of those contracts, coaches retiring may be increasingly rare going forward. It makes a lot more sense to negotiate an agreement with the school to get some of that remaining money.

 

[elimunelson]

Do we have 0% worry with Fran over these jobs opening? I just wonder when the inevitable renegotiated contract occurs. I gotta think he's not stupid and will lever this incredible season into a bigger contract.

Feels like a quiet period so far but wonder truly what the dream job is for Fran. The one I do worry about is Penn St. The fans there loathe James Franklin

They discussed this on ACCN last night.

Mack apparently said once he retires, the next big event in his life is his death. He doesn’t want that so he wants to keep working as long as he can.

If he retires, he leaves the UNC program in far better shape than it was when he returned.

Seems like a good guy. I wish him well whatever ends up happening…..

That’s sad. I’ve heard he’s a great guy. Hopefully he keeps busy in some other way.

 

[cusefan88]

Ryan Silverfield or Jamey Chadwell perhaps for UNC?

 

[OburgOrange]

 

[Acesn8s]

Wonder if they have any decent recruits to poach.

Yup...we'll try for that lot again
