UNC football followed its three-game winning streak with a poor performance at Boston College. Here's what happened to Mack Brown's squad.

UNC Coach Mack Brown is 73 and in his second stint leading the Tar Heels’ football program. Brown coached the Tar Heels from 1988-97 before taking over at Texas from 1998-2013. The accomplished college football coach has a 113-77-1 record at UNC since coming back to Chapel Hill in 2019.

The North Carolina Tar Heels have had a rocky 2024 season, leaving questions about the future of the program under Mack Brown. After an embarrassing 70-50 loss to James Madison in September, rumors swirled that Brown was ready to retire and move on.

CHAPEL HILL, N.C. — CBS Sports has reported that North Carolina head coach Mack Brown plans to remain with the Tar Heels beyond the 2024 season.

Mack Brown is reportedly set on returning to North Carolina for another year as the program's head coach in 2025.

After starting the season 3-0 with wins over Minnesota, Charlotte and North Carolina Central (FCS), UNC was blown out by James Madison 50-70, leading many to wonder if Mack Brown's days were numbered in Chapel Hill. After that loss, Brown asked his players if he should remain the head coach of the program, and players rallied around him.

Brown is telling those close to the program, including staff members, players and recruits, that he plans to remain in Chapel Hill beyond the 2024 season, reports say.

Mack Brown will be returning to North Carolina's sideline in 2025. CBS Sports insider Matt Zenitz reported Wednesday that Brown is telling people around the university that he plans to coach the Tar Heels beyond this season.

Mack Brown doesn't intend to end his coaching career after the 2024 season. North Carolina is 6-4 in Brown's sixth season since returning to the program he ran from 1988 to 1997. Speculation has run rampant over the 73-year-old retiring following his 35th season as a head coach,
