What's worse its like a 7 footer shooting a three once they nail one the Green Light comes on..
I think if you go into it with the expectation that the next coach will be around for 20 years is unrealistic regardless if they have UNC ties or not. If you want someone like that, you shouldn't go for a younger coach. You should go for a coach in their 50's who will finish their career at UNC. I don't think people in their 30's and 40's have the mindset of planting somewhere for that long term. Kind of a generational thing. People are more mobile today.
So if you want to get someone who will finish their career here, you need to look for someone like Mark Few or Jay Wright. I think Mark Few's program structure is more transferrable. Jay Wright is in a perfect college spot for him. I can't see him go anywhere other than the NBA.
Again, I don't see a coach in their 30's or early 40's being here for 20+ years. So if you're ok with that, then go for that. But UNC isn't used to not having a ton of stability at this position.
IMO, the next coach NEEDS to get UNC to be a program that has NBA equity again. It's something this program has been missing for a while. The Michael Jordan aura is less relevant to recruits these days. Kids are too young.
They probably already know their successor though.

Absolutely no reason to apply interim tag as our season is over.
I can Live with any Coach that will cover the 3........
We hire Hubert and it sets us back at least 5 years.
This!!! I don’t really want a coach on the bench currently because they will probably play the same style as Roy and not guard the 3.. we also need someone that can recruit well. If Hubert is that guy, why do we struggle right now in recent years??? Don’t blame investigation.
Yeah, I'm not serious for the obvious reasons. But the guy can coach. It wouldn't surprise me if Pitino took UNC to a championship fairly quickly. Has anyone won championships at 3 schools?
This is always fun to do the Match game or who's next game.. But this for sure already is a done deal, Might as well give it a chance.. Hubert is African American and Not too old so he can for sure relate with young players..
Not sure I buy that. Make a home run hire, get a couple stud recruits in the fold, work the transfer portal, and you have something going. This is UNC, not USCjr.
Brad Stevens unhappy in Boston. Timing is perfect. If we don’t get him, Duke will.
Yeah I don't know if we realize how many recruits we lost because they didn't want to play for Roy and this style, it had to of worked both ways..
Don’t see how it can’t be Steve Robinson! He’s the only one on staff with qualifications! He will be a short term solution aka Bill Guthridge allowing us time to find the long term fit and erasing the huge shoes to fill!
You just quoted yourself. If i was going to take anything you said seriously I won't now.
Truth is that none of us know how good Hubert would be. We don't really get to see Roy's assistants do much coaching. He's obviously not the miracle shooting coach most of us hoped he would be but he might be terrific at the other things.
When Dean left, he handed a loaded roster and the reins to Gut. Roy isn't leaving his successor as loaded a roster (although it isn't awful if everybody else stays), but will he hand the reins to Robinson? I seem to recall that Rob's previous stint as a head coach wasn't all that great.
What happens to Rob if he's passed over for someone else on the coaching staff?
If an outsider is brought in, what happens to Roy's assistants? Doherty got a lot of criticism for not keeping some of his predecessors' people. Who should stay?
Miracle shooting coach? Either you can shoot or you Can't
The whole staff needs to go with Roy honestly
I'd rather have Shaka Smart over Hubert Davis is they are wanting to hire a Black American. Shaka has head coaching experience, only 43 seems to be a good guy.
It’s a huge mistake to hire within. We haven’t been great/elite in a long time for our standard.
I have a feeling that people are underestimating Hubert Davis. Just my opinion.
I mean unless we hire someone with Kansas, Duke, Kentucky bloodlines, that coach most likely would never leave for a different college job so we wouldn't have to worry. The NBA is different but I'm all for hiring the best coach available as long as he's clean.
There is nothing I see in Hubert that screams head basketball coach at UNC.
If we hire someone or promote within just to fill a PC quota I'm taking some time away.
You simply cannot hire someone with zero experience as head coach family or not. JV with all due respect (and little is due) does not count.
The assistants would be pretty far down my list of importance. I'd take Chris Beard and whoever he wants to assist over worrying about retaining our guys, with all due respect to them. And yes I know he just signed with Texas.
I have no idea what Hubert Davis could be as a head coach. The unknown of it worries me about this kind of program.
True. Even Bama football has been set back for a decade by 1 lousy HC hire. If UNC makes a stupid hire, on the heels of the past 2 seasons, the program could be in the dumps for years.
Basketball is easier to fix and fix quickly than football.
If the right coach is hired, Kessler might be back on the table. And we might land a true PG rather than a scoring guard trying to learn to be a PG, as well as a WG who really can shoot. And a wing or two who really can play sound perimeter D.
Literally no one does and that is what has to rule him out.
There is not. The most accomplished former UNC player coaching today is Wes Miller, who is the best HC in UNCG history. But he is not ready.
We know that he has not been successful as a shooting coach. Of course, that could be because Roy has persisted in focusing his recruiting on far too many athletes who simply are erratic shooters and always will be.
Maybe it's a buffer situation like Coach Smith wanted with Coach Guthridge. Let someone currently on the bench take over for a year or 2, then let Wes slide in.
