CHAPEL HILL, N.C. -- Mack Brown's reintroduction as North Carolina's coach on Tuesday was billed as a homecoming, with dozens of former players in attendance and an endless string of stories from Brown's first stint in Chapel Hill.
But if North Carolina was eager to embrace the past in hiring Brown, he was quick to note his plans for the future don't include a rebuilding job for the Tar Heels.
"We're planning on winning next year," said Brown, who served as UNC's head coach from 1988-1997 before moving to Texas and winning a national championship.
