Shockwaves were sent throughout the college football landscape when the University of North Carolina announced that they are parting ways with head coach Mack Brown. Brown, 73, is UNC’s all-time leader in wins and games coached.

"Mack Brown has won more games than any football coach in UNC history, and we deeply appreciate all that he has done for Carolina football and our University,'' Director of Athletics Bubba Cunningham said.

Brown as recently as Monday said he planned to return next season, but Bubba Cunningham, the UNC athletic director, informed Brown later Monday that “he will not return as head coach.”
