Stackhouse’s stint at Vanderbilt was a clear case of..wrong place / wrong time. Plus who wants to play for Vandi?? Stacks well-known brand resonates extremely well with todays recruits; couple that with the UNC name and you got something cooking folks. While Hubert is a pleasant individual, he lacks the ability to provoke as effectively as Stack could. Wes Miller (who da fuc is dat guy?) Sorry Wes doesn’t bring anything special to the table! Yes good coach but His image is more akin to the stale outdated practices of the past.

In this NIL era, individuals must be prepared to challenge conventional norms…and not take any bs while doing so.

I do like HD and honestly this is more of a NIL issue, not a coaching issue. Roy bounced cause he saw what was coming and he didn’t want any part of it. I hope HD finishes strong and some how surprise us all but if not give me Stack!

If Jerry Stackhouse didn’t play for UNC and had no UNC ties, would you consider him at all for the UNC head coaching position?

YES! I was on the Wes train but now am firmly in the Stackhouse camp if Hubert doesn’t get this figured out. I know Hubert is a man of faith & I pray that his prayers are answered for this program. If he doesn’t get the ship righted then it was not in the cards for him.

Hmm..gonna wash away all UNC accolades from his resume, is that what we doing? No sirrr…those are all major pluses! How about we consider the total, instead of subtracting from the total.

1. Outstanding player for UNC!
2. Graduated from UNC!
3. From NC!
4. NBA lottery pick
5. NBA-G coach
6. NBA assistant coach
7. College coach experience.
8. Very strong linkage to big time recruits (again nobody wants to play for Vandi so stop it!).

Stackhouse would not be in my first 10 calls. He should be way down the list. Let’s set our sights a bit higher and not hire another former player just because they’re a former player.

For several on this board, Dean Smith would not have been considered for the job since he didn’t play at Carolina. Think about how silly that is…

Well..it doesn’t have to be silly, doesn’t? I mean what about his TOTAL resume? And I could be wrong but I think Stack would be in most people top 10. Why not yours? Just curious is all.

So you have no actual evidence he recruits well? Or that his "brand resonates well with today's recruits"?

Do you think AI would have chose dukk if Stack was UNC’s coach? Stack routinely break bread with other NBA players, he has most of them on speed dial! And guest what all NBA players have at home? Tall sons! Facts.

Again, nobody wants to play for vandi so cut it out lol

Ok, I’ll put it this way. I’m going to take a random college basketball coach. Brad Underwood. I will ignore where Brad Underwood played and if he has any dirext connection to UNC. He doesn’t. So I’m now going to compare their coaching experience. Brad Underwood won NCAA Tournament games with Stephen F. Austin (another school that doesn’t get good recruits). So IMO, that makes Brad Underwood a much more qualified head coaching candidate.

Of course if playing for UNC or having UNC ties makes you a better fit, then that’s an argument. I just don’t know how anyone can say Stackhouse is a real candidate for this job. Unless you saw something in his coaching strategies at Vandy.

Why is Stackhouse a candidate to you if he had no UNC ties?
 
stackhouse shouldn’t even be on the list. i’d hope the powers that be won’t make the same mistake twice by force feeding a unc alum down our throat with far superior options out there.
 
Please stop assuming my opinion is solely based on his affiliation with UNC! That’s not true! It’s his total resume which just happens to include great UNC accolades. Vandy was obviously not a gd fit but for some reason that seems to be everyone’s grenade when it comes to Stack. It’s all about recruiting and nobody was ever going to go play for Vanderbilt lol.

I don’t believe HD was terrible pic, however i thought it was a big mistake for him to hire only UNC alums to be on his staff. I didn’t like that at all!!

AI?

Do you mean BI? Brandon Ingram? That was 10 years ago man. He knew Ingram from Kinston. He literally coached Ingram in AAU. He was Ingram's mentor. That has nothing to do with anything recent.

So basically you have to go back 10 years ago and use a very rare situation to find any evidence that Stack's "brand resonates well with today's recruits"?

This isn't 10 years ago man. There isn't a 5 star recruit in any upcoming class that considers Stack a mentor. Recruits today never saw him play in the NBA. Recruits today never played AAU ball for him. Recruits today only know him as the coach with the losing record from Vanderbilt. And if you think our alumni have been cheap with Hubert's NIL money, they'd be in even worse with Stackhouse. He's more likely to punch a booster than beg them for money.

Every analyst I've seen thinks Stack is a better fit in the NBA than college. They were shocked he took the Vandy job. He won a damn G League championship. He'd already be a NBA head coach by now had he never taken the Vandy job. He's not a good fit as a college coach, especially in the NIL era. He'll never be UNC's coach, and I doubt he'll ever coach college again at all.
