On November 27, 2018 the University of North Carolina hired Mack Brown. The decision brought a bevy of reactions. Mockery and skepticism was in abundance. Some felt the decision was rushed, if not desperate.
A smaller contingent celebrated. I was part of that group. Days after his hiring, I wrote about how Mack Brown was the right coach, at the right place, at the right time.
Today, March 6th, 2019, marks Mack Brown’s 100th day as the head coach at UNC. Though the UNC-Duke basketball rematch is 72(ish) hours away, it is now an undeniable reality that North Carolina is a football school.
