If...

Carolina could offer Mark Few a pretty substantial pay bump and a higher profile gig. He seems like a loyal guy so we’d have to make a lot of room for the guys he’d want to bring with him, both on the staff and roster.

I’d start by at least making him say no. Give him a top tier GM to manage NIL and we’d instantly be a contender again.

I’d love his European connections. I think being here could put him over the edge kinda like Roy.

I like Otzelberger…they seem to consistently play good D and always compete

King Rice will be the next head coach at UNC and y’all are just going to have to accept it. Lol

Well lets see, considering that UNC seemed hell bent on making sure the coach had a UNC footprint, who was it again I was advocating for, it wasn't Hubert or Wes, it was King Rice. So no, that would not make me mad.

But lets be real here, the talent pool of former UNC players that are ready for the prime time of a Mt Rushmore program simply is not deep enough, this requirement that they MUST have played for UNC handicaps us if it is not allowing other very ready coaches to be considered. I think the Belichick hire has changed a lot of things concerning UNC athletics, this may have been changed as well.

Phil Ford?

put a $10 million per year package together and make Jay Wright turn it down. After that, who knows. But after hiring Belichick, if we offered some dude named Otzelberger, the natives would be restless.

Jay Wright left college coaching in 2022, look how much has changed since he left (or was it escaped, LOL). He saw what was coming down, his words were with the portal and NIL like it is the NBA is a much better job. Sound like a guy willing to jump back in to college coaching, doesn't to me.

I see Mark Few's name bantered about a lot, program after program has tried UNSUCCESSFULLY to lure Few away, he has consistently told them no. The guy is entrenched at Gonzaga, he wants to retire from there.

If and I do mean if Hubert is dropped, things have to be dome the right way. Now with Hubert's seat as hot as it is and getting hotter, our AD needs to put out behind the scenes feelers, exactly as he did when we replaced Mack. If the time to pull the trigger comes at the end of this season, we better already have a short list of interested guys lined up and make a quick decision on who it will be, no long drawn out affair. Not just Bubba talking to coaches but talking to agents, maybe even agents talking to agents, back channels not public channels.

What if Danny Hurley or Greg McDermontt expressed interest in being our next head coach would you want either? I don't know about you but for me, darn right I would be thrilled with either! I just prefer Kelvin more and feel like we would have a far better chance at him.

Phil Ford?

Sadly, that ship has sailed but had UNC done what I felt they should have Phil would have been our coach rather than Matt, which of course means Roy would have stayed at Kansas. Yes, I darn sure did want Phil Ford as our coach more than I wanted Roy.

Now bring in Phil to fill a role like Steve had with Roy for Hubert, solid move.

Shaka Smart has shown that he can coach teams that stay ranked. He's coached in several different conferences. I'm not sure if he can actually win championships. He's younger, has at least 10-15 years or more ahead of him.

Shaka just has never really blown me away, why, good start is your own words "He's coached in several different conferences. I'm not sure if he can actually win championships"...
