After five seasons away from college football, Mack Brown was brought back for a second stint at North Carolina in hopes of restoring some kind of competitive foothold, most likely against teams not named Clemson.
Brown was basically run out of town after 16 successful seasons at Texas because fans and boosters were fed up of spending their hard-earned money on underachieving teams getting pushed around all over the field and not competing for championships.
Coming back to Chapel Hall was no easy task, but Brown accepted the challenge and earned a victory over South Carolina in the season opener.
