Prior to coaching at Texas, Brown was head coach at Appalachian State, Tulane, and North Carolina. Brown is credited with revitalizing the Longhorn and North Carolina football programs, and is well-known for being a successful recruiter. The Longhorns beat Michigan in the 2005 Rose Bowl, Ohio State at The Horseshoe in September 2005, and Oklahoma in October 2005 to snap a string of five consecutive losses Brown's Longhorns had suffered in UT & OU's annual Red River Shootout game. The 2005 season was capped off by victories over Colorado and USC to win Brown's first conference and national championships, respectively.

Brown attended Vanderbilt University and later graduated from Florida State University in 1974, starting his coaching career as a student coach after an injury ended his playing career. He then received a graduate degree from the University of Southern Mississippi in 1976.

Brown's first head coaching job came in 1983 when he led Appalachian State to a 6-5 record. Brown then moved back to a supporting role, but for a much more illustrious program, as offensive coordinator for the Oklahoma Sooners during the 1984 season.His second head coaching position came with Tulane in 1985. Despite a slow start (a 1-10 record in his first year), he helped turn around the program and led the Green Wave to a 4-7 in 1986 and, in 1987, to a 6-6 record and a trip to the Independence Bowl, Tulane's fifth bowl game in over 40 years.

In 1988, Brown took the head coaching job at North Carolina, long regarded in the college football world as "a great basketball school". Brown would ultimately lead the Tar Heels to a top five ranking in the polls.In 1997, Brown accepted the job as the head coach of the Texas Longhorns.  
 
On January 11, 2006 Coach Brown was named the Paul "Bear" Bryant College Football Coach of the Year. Not since Darrell Royal's victory in 1963 has a coach from The University of Texas at Austin been given this honor. Voted by the National Sportscasters and Sportswriters Association, this award not only affirms the talent, skills and vision of Coach Mack Brown but strengthens the athletic and academic record achieved during his UT tenure. Eighteen players on the 2006 Rose Bowl roster entered the game with the coursework for their college degree complete.

In Austin, the Browns continue to be active in community affairs, serving as honorary co-chairpersons of the Capital Campaign for the Helping Hands of Austin. The Brown's have been instrumental in the opening of The Rise School of Austin (an early childhood education program that integrates children who have disabilities with their typically developing peers) and serve on the schools Board of Directors.
