UNC Football: Mack Brown interested in returning to coach Tar Heels?

After a season of speculation in Chapel Hill, the University of North Carolina made the decision to fire head football coach Larry Fedora on Sunday morning. The move came after Fedora’s second-straight nine-loss season with the program.

Fedora did lead the Tar Heels to four-straight bowl games during his time at UNC but after losing a lot of talent following the 2016 season, things went downhill quickly.

The Tar Heels won just two Atlantic Coast Conference games in the previous two seasons, both coming against Pitt and they failed to make a bowl game. Things were getting rough and eventually it led to the end of the Fedora era.
