November 26, 20241 yr Quote North Carolina coach Mack Brown will not return to the Tar Heels next season, the school announced Tuesday. Brown, 73, on Monday said he intended to return, although he had not yet held any discussions about his future with athletic director Bubba Cunningham. He will coach in Saturday's game against rival NC State, and no decision has been made about the postseason. "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,'' Cunningham said in a statement. As the guitars picked up, Bubba continued on by crooning "Closing time, you don't have to go home, but you can't stay here"
November 26, 20241 yr Imagine if he stayed at his ESPN gig. He'd probably be where Nick Saban is right now but instead he's getting fired after telling his boss "you can't fire me".

I can just imagine Mack on GameDay with that idiot McAfee and Mack starts clutching his pearls every time McAfee says “damn” and “hell” and then excuses himself from the set when he sees a vulgar sign from the crowd.
November 26, 20241 yr This is the first "big boy" job available this cycle. Anyone know who the leader in the clubhouse is?

November 26, 20241 yr Not sure why they would do this now and give him time to wreak as much havoc as he can on the way out. Maybe he's grown as a person, though. Hahaha FYPM MBTF
November 26, 20241 yr 2 minutes ago, crash_davis said: Was he killing himself recruiting in Florida when this happened? In-season firing, so he was killing himself prepping for State.
November 26, 20241 yr Popular Post Now he just needs to go to Tulane to complete the ultimate palindrome career of ascension and school firings.
November 26, 20241 yr Just now, CurlyDumps said: In-season firing, so he was killing himself prepping for State. Why would UNC want this distraction for a rivalry game? Maybe it's all the motivation they can muster for another disappointing, underachieving season?
November 26, 20241 yr Football must be all he has (or so he thinks). Shit, he's 73 years old. Man, how much $$ is he sitting on? He turned us around immediately after he showed up, and got us a National Championship. He deserves all that credit. Hope he eventually comes back to DKR for some mid-game ceremony before he kicks the bucket.
November 26, 20241 yr I was told you have to give Mack 3 years to fix it after he runs your program into the ground?

November 26, 20241 yr I would not let Mack stick around after the NC State game... On the way out, is Mack gonna burn UNC football down with their recruits too??? 😬
November 26, 20241 yr Am I reading that wrong. They are gonna let him coach the last game or is he trying to prepare them in some other capacity? Lmao
November 26, 20241 yr I heard there was an opening at Florida Atlantic.. Edited November 26, 20241 yr by Victorious1 comment
November 26, 20241 yr Im actually surprised he didn’t retire first. It really shows what type of person he is. I understand him not resigning at Texas. He thought he could turn it around. But NC was a retirement job. He’s 73 for Christ’s sake.

November 26, 20241 yr Just now, Dewey said: He'll coach the NC State game if they promise to.make it all about him. If they let him coach the NC State game he'll promise to make it all about him
November 26, 20241 yr He always makes it awkward doesn't he. How desirable of a job is NC? Seems like the right coach could do well there.
November 26, 20241 yr 3 minutes ago, immamac said: Am I reading that wrong. They are gonna let him coach the last game or is he trying to prepare them in some other capacity? Lmao Yeah, we've seen this act before... Get Mack out asap, or else he's gonna burn another program down on the way out. 😬

Maybe it's all the motivation they can muster for another disappointing, underachieving season? I presume they're letting him coach the game based on Mack's statement, so it's probably better this way. Instead of a cloud of uncertainty hovering over the game, just do it and let Mack and the players do their whole "win one for the Gipper" send coach out on a win routine. edit: Might motivate more fans to show up and support the team, too.

November 26, 20241 yr 1 hour ago, Js1 said: He was never leaving UNC by choice. Just like Texas. I don't know the ins and outs of his contract with NC, but generally speaking, if he makes them fire him he gets a penalty/buyout/whatever, but if he quits voluntarily, he leaves that money on the table. I suspect the firing was both real and negotiated.

I suspect the firing was both real and negotiated. For reference, he makes around $5mm in total per year. As per this link: https://www.fayobserver.com/story/sports/college/football/2024/09/28/mack-brown-north-carolina-contract-buyout-details-clause-tar-heels-fired-years/75418347007/ In the event he’s fired without cause, Brown would be due an amount equal to the sum of any remaining unpaid base salary payments. As of December 1, 2024, that figure would be $2,812,500. I suspect his agent could have negotiated an "I will quit at the end of the season" deal worth at least $3mm. But, that ain't Mack.
