Every summer, Tigerillustrated.com sits down with Brad Brownell for a lengthy interview in his office. This year's interview came in early July when Brownell was still in the formative stages of assimilating an almost entirely new roster after significant attrition from last year's team that went 18-2 in the ACC. The Q&A originally appeared as a multi-part series at Tigerillustrated.com. This is the full, uncut audio from a sit-down that lasted almost 80 minutes.
