The 1933 North Carolina Tar Heels football team represented the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill during the 1933 college football season. The Tar Heels were led by eighth-year head coach Chuck Collins and played their home games at Kenan Memorial Stadium. They competed as a member of the Southern Conference. Collins' coaching contract expired at the conclusion of the season, and UNC elected not to renew his contract, citing lack of success on the field.[1] He was 38–31–9 in his eight seasons as head coach.[2]
