Two weeks ago, I would’ve told you that the results of today’s game between UNC and NC State would likely dictate whether or not Mack Brown would be employed in 2025. Taking down the Wolfpack and perhaps even winning a bowl game could’ve potentially warmed Bubba Cunningham’s heart enough to let him hang around, while a loss in my mind would’ve meant that the pitchforks would’ve gotten closer and closer to his doorstep. However, we now know that this will be Mack Brown’s final game as a Carolina head coach, so in a way it feels like the Heels playing with house money.
