LAHAINA, Hawai’i — North Carolina athletics director Bubba Cunningham said Wednesday that Coach Mack Brown will not coach the Tar Heels in the bowl game.
Cunningham, in Hawaii for the Maui Invitational, confirmed to Tar Heel Tribune that Saturday’s N.C. State game will be Brown’s last as head coach at UNC.
“He won’t coach the [bowl] game,” Cunningham said.
Cunningham said he’ll have meetings on Sunday and determine who will coach the team in the bowl game.
Brown, 73, who Cunningham fired on Tuesday after Brown said Monday that he intended to return, has a 113–78–1 record in two stints at Carolina entering the regular-season finale against the Wolfpack.
