I wouldn’t go placing any bets. This will drag on.

Billy D would crush it at UNC.

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


Agree. He'd absolutely crush it at UNC. And he's not going anywhere with Chicago in the foreseeable future.

2 things.

1.We have zero shot at any coach that might be considered for NC job.
2. We could do well getting Hubert Davis to LSU. A month ago it would have been considered a home run hire

Bad luck best player getting hurt going into the tournament.

Wilson wouldn’t have been around next year either.

Davis gave UNC eternal bragging rights in the Duke rivalry, and that counts for a lot. More than anything, this is an acknowledgment in Chapel Hill that their old way of building teams with a consistent and steady/multi-year upperclassmen roster build just isn’t working anymore. They need a killer on the sideline and they have every resource to attract one.

I wasn't a fan of his hiring, I thought it was lazy just like when they hired screwball Matt Doherty. I did give him a chance after he made the final four and sent Coach Ratface home in his last home game, and in the final four. But recruiting hasn't been on point at all. I think Carolina should be up there with Duke, Kansas, and the other top blue bloods getting their pick of the players they want. The coaching obviously was an issue, and cost them a lot. There is no way you can convince me that Carolina should be depending on one player, a freshman at that to carry them. They should have at least 2 or 3 other studs they can rely on.

They definitely should not hire anyone from Carolina to be the next coach, because in my opinion, there is no one qualified. Stack isn't a good coach, and anyone suggesting Kenny Smith is an idiot.

I believe a program like UNC shouldn't be depending that heavily on a single player to carry them. And it's been like that since Davis took over. He has had some big names leave the program, and a program like that should be loaded with talent and have plenty to fall back on.

You realize you are replying to a Florida fan, correct?

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

I actually think it was Stephen A Smith who suggested it, Jay Williams called him an idiot.
