Here is an article from TarHeelBlog.com on Mack Brown's legacy as UNC football coach from back in 2013 when Brown resigned as the Texas football coach.
A quick check of the record book reveals he is also second all-time in wins at another school - North Carolina, behind only Bill Dooley. Brown came to Carolina after the 1987 season, a somewhat surprise choice to replace the droll and unexciting Dick Crum, a strong tactician who won an ACC title with Dooley's players but was not known as a great recruiter. Brown had a warmth and genuineness that really radiated throughout the UNC community. He naturally had the ability to sell stand up freezers above the Arctic Circle and immediately started repairing relationships with alumni and the state's high school coaches damaged by Crum's aloofness. He was the first to stress winning the "state championship" - that is, beating Duke, Wake Forest, and NC State in the same season. He locked down the state's high schools as much as any in-state coach has done and brought NFL-level talent to Chapel Hill in spades.
