North Carolina coach Mack Brown has been in the coaching game for a long time.
Brown has coached under virtually every championship-deciding mechanism college football has come up with: the poll system, the Bowl Coalition, the Bowl Alliance, the BCS (both with and without a standalone championship game), the four-team College Football Playoff, and now the 12-team CFP. The man has tied a game, for crying out loud (against No. 11 Georgia Tech on Oct. 20, 1990).
