Man. I know this had to happen. And I advocated for it to happen after VCU. But I don't feel any joy or happiness at all. Only relief that a hard decision was finally made that will allow the program to move forward, and sadness that it ended this way for one of our all-time beloved Tar Heels. Sucks for such a nice guy to lose his dream job so publicly like this.

AMEN.
Well said Sir CFord . . !

I should rephrase. I hope this ends up with a better outcome than almost any UNC coaching search at this century, save perhaps for Butch Davis.

Fedora, Mack 2 and Roy were all decent, logical hires that happened pretty painlessly. Fedora and Mack 2 ended poorly, but most coach hires do. Overall, those were not terrible hires (although I understand why one might criticize Fedora and especially Mack 2).

Doherty was bad and Hubert wasn't much different from Gut in terms of the amount of real searching.

And the BoT nose-sticking issue has been fixed legislatively, so I am optimistic this will be a pretty normal search with normal results. Whether the coach ends up meeting the UNC standards remains to be seen.

I am sad to hear that the CHD era is now at a finality, wishing him the very best going forward.

It’s more than the CHD era now at a finality. And more even than Dean or Roy.

It’s a continuation of the steady circling of the drain for college hoops, period. Rearranging the deck chairs on the Titanic.
 
Hate that it didn't work out for Hubert. I was hoping it would since he is part of the Carolina family and a great person. I admit I was never sold on him being a good enough coach for UNC from the beginning. I hoped it would get better, though. Now I hope they can get a coach that can give Carolina what it needs to be a consistent contender for championships.

One of those may not exist.
