“I’ve studied a lot of video on Carolina from the last three or four games,” Brown says. “It’s been fun to watch. I’ve known for a long time what Larry can do offensively. And I knew what Gene would do here defensively. He’s as good as anyone on defense. He’s taken the defense to a new level. They’re so much better, it’s amazing what he’s done in two years.
“And I think Carolina will keep getting better. As we know from my time there, when you start winning, you can recruit so much better.”
Among the many facts Brown will come armed with Saturday is the one saying that victories over State and a bowl opponent would give the Tar Heels back-to-back 10-win seasons—for the first time since Brown’s own teams won 10 and 11 games, respectively, in 1996-97. (Imagine if you could put the offenses from 2015-16 averaging 465 yards a game with the defenses from 1996-97 allowing just 217 yards a game.)
“This is a great time in Carolina football history,” Brown says. “You’ve got your athletic director in Bubba Cunningham. You’ve got your coach in Larry. You’ve got your staff. You’re soon going to have a new indoor facility, which is so important. We thought when we were there 20 years ago Carolina should be one of the top programs in the country. It’s no different today and I’m excited to see where the program is.”
