North Carolina Fired Head Football Coach Mack Brown

At the end of last month, Mack Brown was fired as head football coach at North Carolina, but was given the opportunity to coach in their post-season bowl game.  Brown was 45-33 in six season at the helm of the Tar Heels.  Here is a look at the North Carolina Tar Heels football program since 2008 (the first year that in which I have data for the model).  This time period only covers the last three seasons of head football coach Butch Davis (2008-2010), Everette Withers (2011),  Larry Fedora (2012-2018) and Mack Brown (2019-2024).  After the figure below is a more detailed look at the North Carolina Tar Heels football program during head coach Brown's tenure based on the Complex Invasion College Football Production Model using data provided by www.cfbstats.com.  (The vertical school color bars represent seasons where head coaches changed).
