CHAPEL HILL – Two coaching veterans are returning to North Carolina's football program to strengthen the Tar Heels' defense.
Two-time National Champion Gene Chizik, a 26-year coaching veteran, has been named Carolina's assistant head coach for defense, and 17-year veteran Charlton Warren is the Tar Heels' new co-defensive coordinator and defensive backs coach, Head Coach Mack Brown announced on Saturday. The duo returns to Chapel Hill after working together on the defensive staff during the 2015 and 2016 seasons.
Chizik, who is a national coach of the year award winner, a Broyles Award winner, and a Broyles Award finalist while at Carolina, reunites with Brown after previously serving as Brown's defensive coordinator at Texas in 2005-06.
