CHAPEL HILL, N.C. – Freddie Kitchens, an NFL coaching veteran who has served as run game coordinator and tight ends coach at the University of North Carolina for the past two seasons, has been named interim head football coach. He steps in for Mack Brown, whose final day as the Tar Heels' head coach is today (Sunday, Dec. 1).

"Freddie Kitchens is an incredibly talented coach who is respected by our student-athletes and staff,'' said Carolina director of athletics Bubba Cunningham. "He is dedicated to doing all he can to help lead our program through this transition, and we appreciate his willingness to take on this role."

Kitchens joined the Carolina football program in February, 2023. He came to Chapel Hill after spending one season as a senior football analyst at South Carolina following a 16-year run in the NFL that included a stint as the Cleveland Browns head coach and a trip to the Super Bowl with the Arizona Cardinals.
