The North Carolina Tar Heels are searching for a new head football coach as Mack Brown will not return after the 2024 season. Potential candidates include Jon Sumrall, who has a strong record at Tulane and Troy, and Jamey Chadwell from Liberty, known for his success in the Group of 5. Other names in consideration are Georgia's defensive coordinator Glenn Schumann, Clemson's offensive coordinator Garrett Riley, and UNLV's head coach Barry Odom. This hire is crucial for the program's future direction.
Jamey Chadwell, head coach of the Liberty Flames, has experienced remarkable success with a 12-0 start to his first season at the helm. Chadwell, known for his winning record at Coastal Carolina, has been pleasantly surprised by the team's rapid progress. With a potential win in the Conference USA championship game and some luck, Liberty could secure a spot in a New Year's Six bowl game. Chadwell attributes the team's success to the resources and support he has received at Liberty, including a significant increase in salary and top-notch facilities. Despite not yet being hired by a Power 5 school, Chadwell is content to continue winning at Liberty.
