What Michael Malone thinks is irrelevant. What recruits think matters. What influencers think matters. What players think matters. And last but not least, what donors think matters.
I don't think the consensus on this board would be above a B, and we're all Carolina fans. I think the uncertainty of a first time college head coach navigating NIL and the portal and if he will be able to recruit and relate to teenagers.
Carolina getting the lowest grade stood out to me, too, but part of the grade is probably based on the school doing the hiring and how that hiring matches the school's goals and aspirations.
Outside of Lloyd and May, I don't know that Carolina could have hired anyone and gotten above a B plus.
Sophomore Dixon can be special. I like Powell, and I would like to see him come back, but replacing Dixon will be much harder.
If everyone is convinced that Carolina sucked because of Coach Davis, then imagine how great these players will be with an NBA championship coach.
Thanks for posting that, but for me that piece was crap. The first paragraph was crap. The third paragraph was crap. The bullet points were crap. The rest of the piece was built on that crap. If I had a nickel for every bad take about the Carolina coaching search and this hire, I'd have more...
I'm gonna wait and see. I was not in favor of firing coach Davis and still think it was a mistake, but I understand why the decision was made. This could end up being a great hire, or another colossal mistake. Who he chooses to be on his staff will give us an early clue.
