IC’s message boards are such a cesspool anymore. I’m so glad I cancelled my membership there. The reporting from people like GB is absolutely second to none, but I’m not in a place in my life where I care one iota about any “inside information” about anything UNC sports related.
 


Not sure I've seen many situations like the one that is happening at North Carolina regarding Hubert Davis. My understanding is the administration asked Hubert if he wants to continue, and he said emphatically yes. To let it go on for this long with no decision is not fair to anyone. At this point it would be very very difficult to bring him back. He would enter next season under a huge cloud. Usually the best strategy in this situation is to rip the Band-Aid off and make a decision one way or the other. To let it linger for this long is unnecessary and healthy. Here's hoping we get a decision on this one way or another very very soon.

his main claim is that the process is taking too long but i'm not sure that's true until tomorrow or maybe even the next day.

My take would be that you'd want to have something public by the time games tip off again on Thursday night.

If we haven't made an announcement by then, I'd be both worried and bothered.

But until Thursday afternoon, I'm not getting too bent out of shape.

I also don't think that a lack of public announcement means that things haven't been clarified behind the scenes.

if accurate? i mean, there isn't even any new or unknown information there.

"embattled coach doesn't want to lose job, breaking news at 10"

it's pure drama / clickbait. his main claim is that the process is taking too long but i'm not sure that's true until tomorrow or maybe even the next day.

No, the what the fuck, for me, is them asking him if he wants to continue coaching, knowing that he's not going to have nearly enough support to build a roster, etc. You either make the decision to move on or you retain him. And, if you are going to ask him, and then not retain him...it just makes no sense.

Maybe someone told them they thought he didn't want to continue. Or, more likely, this came in a conversation where they were talking about his buyout, and the folks representing the administration were asking him, do you want to take this buyout? And he says, I want to keep coaching.

Often in these situations what gets reported is much, much crazier than what actually happened, because they strip out the sanity-producing context.

Right, which is why I prefaced my comment with "If accurate." I guess I have lost some faith in admin.
