If Hubert is on the way out to Chapel Hill … Who can be on the way?

After losing to the Duke 87-70, not to mention that it is 32, there is no doubt that Hubert Davis will be under enormous pressure on the part of UNC and media fans.

In fact, this has already begun.

Dan Walken from the United States today says this:

“You can argue about Kansas or Kentucky or even Duke, but basketball in North Carolina should not take the back of anyone and should not seek excuses when this standard is not implemented.

“Bad years can happen to anyone, but North Carolina cannot deal with basketball mediocrity and cannot accept missing NCAA tournaments every other season. Giving Davis Fifth for some reason, other than believing that he is the top 10 coach in the country, it would be a recognition that the university no longer considers its basketball work as one of the best in all sports colleges. “

Cody Williams offers this to fansS

Closer to home, Bret Friedlander had this articleS Keep in mind that it was before the blow out of Saturday.

And then, of course, there is a guilty pleasure to every Duke’s fan X.comthe exalted IC crash. It’s just a repost from Carolina’s internal boards after loss and at the moment the reaction is fast and brutal: he must Go.

Here are some excerpts to choose.

Of course, even if you want a new coach, even if it becomes painfully obvious that Hubert, a good man, even though he is, is not in the end the right person .. What next?

The goal of UNC, as Dean Smith put its seal on the program is to keep it in the family, but the family tree is selected. The only candidate now is Wes Miller and he has a mediocre year with Cincinnati. This said he was a promising coach moving to a very difficult conference. It can be done great.

But if not … where do they turn?

Walken is arguing about the top ten coach, but this is not necessarily the answer. But if so, our money would be of Scott Drew from Baylor. It fits in many dean mythology. The other person we would pursue is definitely not.

We would have a difficult run in Danny Hurley. Look, it is northeast. He has always been and at that moment Uconn is better than UNC. However, we would look at this.

This is the psychology of the chairs, but it has a nucleus of truth that most fans of the triangle will recognize.

Danny and Brother Bobby are extremely close, but the younger Hurley at some level not just competed with Bobby, but is tormented by his brother’s brilliant career. He was constantly comparing himself to him and found a desire. In the Seton living room, the pressure reached him and he had to take a vacation.

You may have noticed that in Uconn he mentioned several times that he would like a piece of Duke, but Duke didn’t oblige himself. Why would you like this? Is it that the Duke is the Duke, since Kentucky has grown around this week during the day of the game, being in Cameron instead of in the RUP?

Or is there a deep need to establish itself?

If we are Bubba Cunningham – and we are really glad not to be – we will call him and press that angle. We would point out the massive UNC basketball platform, the long history of the New York/New Jersey/Penns, which came south, and barely deceively offer the chance, two or three times a year, to try to beat the Sopola from the Duke.

Would you bite? His wife Andrea can take him down – she is a Jersey girl and I may not like to move south – but that would intrigue him, in our opinion, at least as much as Lakers’ work.

Beyond that, however, we are not sure that Walken is right. Take a look at schools that have had an impressive turn this year:

• Kentucky.
• Louisville.
• West Virginia.
• Vanderbilt.
• Drake.

Kentucky hired Mark Pope and he collected a list of quick fix and did a brilliant job in 1 year.

Pat Kelsey took a program that was mentally broken and he fixed it. It is now highly competitive. Also year 1.

Darian Devris took over in West Virginia and is not bad at 13-7 after the Bob Huggi’s death for the train of the death of Bob Huggins. Also year 1.

Vanderbilt is 16-5 after Mark Bington took over. Also year 1.

And Drake, under Ben McColum, who just exploded on John Wooden in the northwestern state of Missouri, is now 20-2. Also year 1.

The goal is not to validate your program by opening your checkbook. The goal is to find the best Trainer for your program.

This would be a good time to list the best ACC coaches of all time and where they came from before moving to this conference.

• Mike Crisevski – Army
• Dean Smith – Assistant (and appointed to clean disaster)
• Jim Valano – Jona
• Bobby Cremins – Appalachian State
• Lefty Dresell – Davidson
• Terry Holland – Davidson
• Vic Bubas – Assistant City in State NC
• Brad Brownel – Wright State.
• Tony Bennett – Washington State
• Jim Laranga – George Mason
• Norm Sloan – Florida (which in the 1960s was a program wreck of a program).

We didn’t add Roy Williams, but it’s worth noting that Kansas was betting on him as an assistant.

In reality, leaving the emotions aside for the coach K, Levi and someone else, does he really think that one of these coaches could not succeed in Chapel Hill?

Of course they would have. They were or they were still brilliant coaches.

So this is not prestige. It is never prestige (talk to you, Arkansas). This is the right.

We would like to make another proposal. The man who seems to us may be ready for a big deal is Uconn’s assistant Luke Murray. He did a fantastic job with the insult there and we think he would do well wherever he was.

But honestly, if it were our decision, we would continue after Drew, Hurley or McColum.

And one last thing: we are not great fans of boy dismissal in the middle of the season. This is not the right way to do things. However, Miami and Virginia will have months to plan their next rent. If UNC waits until March, it can do things more difficult. We are not overlapping, not that anyone would be interested in whether we did it, but it can realistically have the advantage of moving more soon than later. Plus, you will also compete with at least Indiana for a big rent and who knows who else.
