Tar Heels’ Hubert Davis gets 2-year extension through 2030
- Thread starter chasingwildcat
- Start date
UNCheat had to do this for recruiting purposes, that’s why it was announced now, and not in April. Davis owes the boosters who bought CW a major thanks!
Great job UNC. I tip my hat to you making the decision to extend mediocrity. Lol. There is nothing like doubling down on stupid.
All right! Dang they don’t pay him squat compared to what a UNC coach usually makes.
It’s all love my friend with hysterical laughing on the inside. Yes UNC you did the right thing. #Extend Hubert worked! Suckers.
Is the diligence spelled out? Like he has to seek another coaching job or interview so many times a year? Maybe try and get a studio or assistant job?
When Duke fans and UK fans are the most excited to hear this news you know UNC fans are pissed.
NC just paid for an additional 2 years of irrelevance. That’s good money paid.
Why not? I’m happy. Maybe they are just toxic
It’s interesting because I would assume if he gets fired from UNC he would go back to TV. He didn’t try to break into the coaching ranks until he had the chance to take over in Chapel Hill, that doesn’t seem like someone who is dead set on being a coach even if it means dropping down a level.
It’s strange that he didn’t have much coaching experience until he worked for Roy a few years and then took over. You would have thought they learned better after Matt Doherty.
There was some talk of Mark Pope hiring a “general manager“ when he was building his staff. As far as I know no one has that title, but I think Fox is essentially the GM? He’s definitely on the sidelines coaching too, I wonder if Pope will stick with that hybrid role or if he’ll ever want a dedicated GM.
Keeping Hubert looks to me like it'll be good enough to keep some decent recruits coming to UNC***, but they won't win enough with what Hubert will do for them to keep them remotely satisfied.
Wait till' the natives come with pitchforks and torches after another couple seasons like this one....

UNC is one of those programs that likes to stay in the family, whether that be someone that was an assistant in the past or played there:
Dean Smith - assistant
Bill Guthridge - assstant
Matt Doherty - played there
Roy Williams - assistant/played there
Hubert Davis - assistant/played there
So, since 1961, every coach was either an assistant, player, or both prior to coaching at UNC. I think UNC is, by far, the program that wants to keep it in the family the most.
When I first saw this. I said this has got to be an April fools joke, but then I realized that it's not April 1st. So the only thing that I can figure is that they're desperate to hold on to Caleb Wilson.
