Amid a challenging season, Brown announced that he will be stepping down from his role as head coach, effective immediately, citing personal reasons and the need for a new direction for the program.
Brown, who returned to lead the Tar Heels in 2019 after a successful previous stint from 1988 to 1997, expressed his deep love for the university and its football program during the emotional address. “This was not an easy decision for me.
