North Carolina head coach Mack Brown has lifted the Tar Heels into the top 5 in just his second year at the helm. He will get a lot of the credit for this but I think people tend to overlook the impact that good coordinators can have on a football team.
Offensive coordinator Phil Longo prizes flexibility and playmaking in his offense. Sophomore quarterback and former Florida State commit Sam Howell perfectly plays to this mold. Add into that one of the more talented stables of skill players in the country and you have an extremely potent offense.
