The questions continue to pour in on UNC’s head coach Mack Brown and whether he will still be there at the end of the season. Or even remain in his post by the end of October.
Saturday Down South’s Brett Friedlander wonders if Brown’s future will be the biggest question asked by the bye week.
“So now what? Where does UNC go from here? Pragmatically, it heads back to Chapel Hill to play Pittsburgh and its suddenly explosive offense next week, followed by another home date against long-time nemesis Georgia Tech before getting to the 1st of its 2 open dates.
“By that time its season on the brink could be in full meltdown mode. And Brown will be doing more than just pondering his coaching future.”
Pittsburgh’s scored 73 points against Youngstown State in their last outing. Big numbers, regardless of the opponent. The Panthers will be fresh off a bye-week heading to Chapel Hill while the Tar Heels come off two straight heartbreaking losses.
ESPN analysts Rece Davis and Pete Thamel already think the end is near for Brown. And that was after the 70-50 loss to James Madison.
