North Carolina’s next Head Coach is

[Tomcats1990]

Seems like a bad hire if I were a Tar Heel fan.

If they were 100% committed to keeping it in the UNC family, then they didn’t have a ton of hot coaches to choose from. 

Absolutely foolish to me. I don’t care if the next UK coach can point out Kentucky on a map. Hire the best available no matter what coaching tree he comes from. 

[The Flea Market]

Probably the best they could do?

Who are the "hot" coaches? Few, Drew, Cronin, and Sampson aren't going anywhere. If you hire an assistant, why not go with a guy that is invested in the school, knows the players, and was respected by the fan base. I just don't think that there are a bunch of big name coaches interested in leaving and going to a new job. Heck, the entire team could enter the transfer portal!

I’m anxious to see how this works out, not sure Tarheel fans will be happy about it this time next year.

Forcing yourself to stay "within the family" for a coach makes as much sense as forcing yourself to stay in-state for your talent.

Agreed.

I agree on Few. He’s not leaving Gonzaga. 
I wouldn’t consider Cronin a huge name yet. 
Sampson was probably never in contention because of his age. 

I see no reason why UNC couldn’t lure Drew away from Baylor though. 
They may have contacted a number of coaches who wouldn’t accept. None of us know.

I think it was assumed by most that they would hire a UNC guy. That seems silly to me.

To be fair, I know nothing about Hubert Davis. He very well could be the next John Wooden.

I’d love to know if they contacted Billy Donovan. I’ve always wondered if he’d come back to the college ranks for a few teams. I have to wonder how happy he is without Westbrook and Durant.

[The Raven]

Let's hope he's closer to Roy Williams than Matt Doherty.

Without Durant sucks. Without Westbrook is probably a blessing.
