Hubert should return

Tar_HeeI said:

Because it is too late in the game to fire him unless your coach is waiting to sign. But no coach that Carolina would want (other than Stevens) is coming to Chapel Hill until after the tournament. You risk losing both 5 stars and also not having time to hit the portal which is so early and short now.

My god, can we just consolidate all the Hubert threads to 1-2 threads? It's the same things being rehashed over and over and pushes other threads down. At least wait until the season is officially over. (i am not trying to single out the OP, but just the board atmosphere in general)

how is that different than any other year?

Do we really need another thread when the same conversation is going on in 10 others

If you wanna move on from a coach you’ve gotta do it by January.

Someone make the argument.

The argument for him is that the Caleb Wilson injury could have torpedoed the team, but they mostly held it together for for the last 6 weeks. And they beat Dook, Kansas, and Kentucky in the same year for the first time in a while. And practically, firing a coach now and hiring someone new quickly enough who could retain their recruiting class, convince Veesaar, Dixon, and Stevenson to stay, and who could successfully navigate the portal to add the players they need is an extremely small needle to thread. Firing Hubert now would, in all likelihood, lead to a 10 win season next year.

this isn't professional sports, mid-season firings except for egregious for-cause violations do not occur. even kenny payne was allowed to coach out the year! if anything this is the perfect year to fire after the season because there are no can't miss recruits to be lost, no offense to Mingo

But it is professional sports. And free agency lasts exactly 2 weeks and starts right after the championship game. You can’t realistically expect a coach hired in late March to be successful under the current paradigm.

Regardless of your question, Hubert is going to return. There is no scenario where Hubert will be fired. They could lose to VCU by 50 points and he will not be fired. And there is an even lesser chance that he would resign. Just start working through whatever you need to do to accept this.
