Mack Brown Criticizes UNC's Handling of His Dismissal Amid Coaching Search

Mack Brown, the head coach of North Carolina's football team, expressed dissatisfaction with how the university handled his forced exit, which was announced just before the team's final regular-season game. Despite a 6-6 record making the Tar Heels bowl eligible, Brown will not coach the bowl game, citing the need for leadership change. He criticized the timing of the announcement, emphasizing the impact on his players, especially following the death of a teammate. Brown agreed with the need for change but wished it had occurred post-season.
