Well that didn’t take long: UNC announced today that they have hired Chip Lindsey as their new offensive coordinator for the football team. This announcement comes less than 24 hours after they hired Randy Clements for the offensive line coach position.
Lindsey has been coaching for 26 years, and will be leaving his offensive coordinator job at UCF, where he helped get the team to the Military Bowl this season to face off against Duke. They finished the regular season with a 9-4 record, and their most notable win of the season was against #17 Tulane. According to UNC’s announcement, Lindsey has overseen offenses that averaged at least 30 points per game in eight of his 11 seasons.
