Mack Brown's second stint at North Carolina has been a bumpy ride, and the 2024 season has been a rollercoaster ride in particular. The Tar Heels' midseason swoon—a four-game losing streak that began with a stunning 70–50 loss to James Madison—put the veteran coach's future in question, but the 73-year-old continues to insist that he has no intentions of stepping down after the year.
"I'm not gonna think about retiring, I'm not going to talk about retiring," Brown said, per Inside Carolina. "I haven't changed that for six years. I learned that from Texas. And there will be a morning when I'll get up and I'll say, 'You know what? Somebody else should be leading this team. They're better than I am at this at this point.' And then I'll go do something else. But I've got way too much to do to be worried about next week. I'm trying to beat NC State."
