Despite the return of head coach Mack Brown, and a freshman class that’s ranked No. 15 in the nation, the North Carolina Tar Heels were picked to finish second-to-last in the ACC Coastal Division in 2019.
According to 173 media members who voted at the 2019 ACC Kickoff in Charlotte, North Carolina last week, the Tar Heels will finish ahead of just one team in the Coastal, and that’s the Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets, whose 7-6 record last season propelled them to a second-place finish in the division.
The Tar Heels, however, won only two games in 2018, and just five over the past two seasons under former head coach Larry Fedora.
