North Carolina Football Re-Hires Mack Brown

Is this like the new thing?

-Randy Edsall
-Herm Edwards
-Johnny Majors
-That I can think of off the top of my head.

Mack Brown is 67 years old, has not coached anywhere in five years; when he last coached he coached at Texas for sixteen years; coached UNC from 1988-1997.

Edwards had a better than expected first year at Arizona State. Edsall has been an Edsel at UConn in his second stint. And a jerk. Majors had nothing left when he was re-hired at Pitt. Actually, add Steve Pederson to that list with an * for being an AD not a coach.

Are you telling me that there is no up-and-coming coordinator or head coach at a smaller football school that floats your boat or tars your heels like Mack Brown does? C'mon, man. To moi all of these retreads demonstrate hiring fatigue: "Let's just bring back X rather than do a national search again," a lack due diligence.
