The subject of Brown coming back next season has been a major point of controversy, with many analysts saying they believe it would be a purely bad move for UNC. Brown has reached multiple notable low points with the team this season, including one of UNC’s worst losses in program history when it fell 70-50 to James Madison earlier in the season.
His team currently holds a 6-5 overall record, most recently falling 41-21 to Boston College in another rough showing.
Brown and the Tar Heels are set to kick off against the Wolfpack on Saturday, Nov. 30 at 3:30 p.m. ET in Kenan Memorial Stadium.
