Mack Brown’s return to coaching football in Chapel Hill hits another major checkpoint on Sunday, as the Tar Heels will suit up for the first of 15 spring practices. This spring will likely be heavily focused on installing new schemes, as both OC Phil Longo and DC Jay Bateman have different approaches and terminology from the previous staff.
What we last saw in Chapel Hill on November 24th should be thrown out the window. What the media reports on Sunday should, as well. The team should look a lot different for the Spring Game, set for 5pm on Saturday, April 13.
