Actor

August 27, 1951 (74 years)
William Mack Brown (born August 27, 1951) is an American former college football coach. Brown most recently coached the North Carolina Tar Heels, where he had two stints, first from 1988 until 1997, and again from 2019 until his firing at the end of the 2024 season. During his second stint in Chapel Hill, Brown became the North Carolina football program's all-time winningest coach, passing Dick Crum for most wins in program history.

Brown is perhaps more well known for his tenure as head coach of the Texas Longhorns, where he coached from 1998 until 2013, winning two Big 12 Conference championships, and a national championship in 2005. His 2005 Texas Longhorns football team won the 2006 Rose Bowl, in what is sometimes considered the greatest game in college football history, to win the national title.
