Shockwaves were sent throughout the college football landscape when the University of North Carolina announced that they are parting ways with head coach Mack Brown. Brown, 73, is UNC’s all-time leader in wins and games coached.

Brown, 73, has three years left on his contract. The decision to part ways comes amid a rollercoaster final season in Chapel Hill. The Tar Heels lost four consecutive games, including an embarrassing 70-50 loss to James Madison in September, regrouped to win three in a row and then lost to Boston College 41-21 on Saturday.

"Mack Brown has won more games than any football coach in UNC history, and we deeply appreciate all that he has done for Carolina football and our University,'' Director of Athletics Bubba Cunningham said.
