North Carolina Tar Heels football coach Mack Brown underwent knee replacement surgery Monday and the operation was done by one of his former players, the team announced.
Dr. Michael Bolognesi performed the surgery for the 67-year-old coach. Bolognesi played defensive back for Brown from 1989 to 1993 when Brown first coached the Tar Heels. Bolognesi said the surgery won’t affect the coach’s summer schedule as he gets ready for his second stint at North Carolina.
