He has underwhelmed virtually every season he has been in Chapel Hill. He really needed let go a season or two ago to be honest.

Jay Williams actually suggested him on First Take. Just a complete clown show.

Hmmm...that would be quite the coup. Especially since college basketball is more like the NBA now.

Hard to believe that Billy D is only 60. That said, the game has changed a lot in the 11 years since he left for OKC.


Billy D would crush it at UNC.

Cal and Pitino both came back from the NBA and have been successful.

Verge should make the call.

Florida and Alabama fans should be very concerned with that statement.

Donovan makes so much sense it hurts. He wants out of Chicago (with reason) and mutual parting is the likely end of year outcome regardless of what jobs are open

So no buyout or bidding war for a guy who left college on a run of the Elite Eight or better in 4 of his last 5 seasons. Wouldn’t have any issues adapting to NIL or coaching professional egos (his day job for the last 11 years). 2x NCAA champ with 30+ years as a college or NBA head coach with at least 10+ years in him. No one in contention will have a better resume than that. UNC is one of the very few college jobs he’d even have any business considering and doesn’t come open often. If they’re both interested it’s a no brainer. They’d be elite immediately and Duke-UNC would be must watch again

The candidate shortlists going around are almost all coaches at power (or loaded) programs. Very little doubt the SEC and B1G schools in 2026 would find the money to match whatever is thrown at Golden, Oats, or May unless UNC is so desperate they want to completely reset the market. Poaching is so much harder in basketball

Separately, if Jay Wright doesn’t throw his hat in the ring here we can finally truly believe he’s done

Vegas odds spiked today for Golden FWIW. Almost 3:1 over next candidate.

Todd Golden (Florida): +300
Mark Byington (Vanderbilt): +400
TJ Otzelberger (Iowa State): +500
Nate Oats (Alabama): +600
Dusty May (Michigan): +700
Billy Donovan (Chicago Bulls): +800

Don’t know if 25% implied probability is a spike when there’s at least 6 candidates 10-25%. This is what a market should look like when no one has any idea

Unless you have more updated data
