Mack Brown told ESPN on Saturday he's not resigning after an emotional locker room scene with his players following North Carolina's embarrassing 70-50 loss to James Madison, which is in only its third season as an FBS school.

Brown, a College Football Hall of Famer, said he told the players that it was his fault and would step away if he couldn't get things fixed.

The 70 points were the most ever given up by the Tar Heels, who fell to 3-1 after winning their first three games. «I'm not resigning.

I'll be back at work Monday,» Brown told ESPN. Brown, 73, is in his sixth season at North Carolina. He told ESPN he was aware of some of the reports out there and that messages in emotional locker rooms can be misconstrued, but was adamant that he's not stepping down.
