The North Carolina Tar Heels and Head Coach Mack Brown have agreed on a one-year contract extension through the 2027 college football season. This one-year extension comes with a new salary as well. Brown will now make five million dollars per season with the Tar Heels. Since Brown’s return to the North Carolina Tar Heels, he has vastly improved the recruiting for the program and he has increased the win total for the program. The talented Head Coach left the Tar Heels after the 1997 season to coach the Texas Longhorns. His last season with Texas was the 2013 season. He returned to North Carolina for the 2019 college football season.
We’re excited to announce that Coach Brown’s contract has been extended one year.
The length of the contract remains five years, now through January of 2028.

In his four seasons since returning to the North Carolina Tar Heels, Mack Brown has led the team to an overall record of 30-22 with an ACC record of 20-14. When he first announced his return to the Tar Heels, there was speculation on how long he would continue to coach the program. If he coaches out the rest of his contract, it will be nearly a decade of coaching in his second stint with the Tar Heels. Next season Brown and North Carolina have a Heisman Trophy candidate in quarterback Drake Maye and with him, they are hoping to compete for an ACC title and perhaps a National Championship. That is Mack Brown’s ultimate goal with the program, winning championships.
