Well, let's see what he can do without Caleb. There is still talent on the team. Obviously, this makes us smaller, so Hubert will need to figure out a new offense.

But if we can stay above the bubble line, and Caleb can make it back it March, there is still hope for a tournament run.

We need to get hot from 3. It's time for Jared to step up. Unfortunately he has not shown signs of doing so for 2.5 years in college.

Definitely seeing lines drawn among Carolina fans. Traditionalists (the "Carolina Way") vs. Realists

Mediocrity will eventually get tiresome for them, too. Wouldn't think they'd suddenly lose program access if we had another coach... They'd get over it.

Then why would he leave?

He's someone who'd almost surely come here if offered. He ain't winning shit at Vandy, and if he cares about that at all, he won't be there long. Somebody's gonna get him. Kentucky and Kansas very well may be both looking for coaches in the next 2-3 years, too.

From Virginia. Played at UNC-W. Coached under Cremins at Charleston. Byington would be one hell of a Plan D.

Wes Miller is absolutely getting fired after this season. He should absolutely not be included on any potential UNc hire list

I think there is a good chance he will be fired ( not sure that is an absolute ), but if he is, then I will be interested to see who Cincy hires and track his next 4 years at Cincy;)

But if he is fired, then no way should UNC hire him... because he was fired.

We want to go after and take a coach away from an established successful top 10 program because that coach would die to give up his program and come to UNC...yeah, that's the ticket😜

Cremins was a bad coach. Squandered so much talent.

I think it does not. I think it means that his performance will be evaluated up until this point. And since people seem unhappy with that performance, I have my doubts that he will be back.

I would hope we evaluate HD/staff up until now, and how they perform afterwards - pre and post-Caleb performances. What are the expectations for the team now (including staff), and did the staff meet those expectations.

Yeah, there is a real danger in hiring a flash-in-the-pan coach that has had a couple of good years that may be more due to individual players or team chemistry that isn’t likely to be replicated long term. See Matt Doherty.

We should have known something was up when The Notre Dame buy out was an order of Pokey Stix and a contract we had to sign in blood that said "no backsies."

Yes, if we go into a trail spin, I think HD will be on a very hot seat.

That's my thinking too. We're entering the toughest part of our ACC schedule and without Wilson I think it could get ugly pretty quick. And I doubt that people who are critical of Hubert are going to take Wilson's injury into account or give Hubert any leeway for that. Before Wilson's injury I gave Davis slightly better-than-even odds to stay as coach given the overall performance of the team so far, while acknowledging that a disappointing finish would still likely get him fired. With Wilson out I think it's going to be a good deal uglier in the ACC and Hubert may find fans calling for his head rather quickly. If Wilson misses the rest of the season or most of it then I'm not optimistic for Hubert's chances to keep his job.
 
I think there is an opportunity here for HD, but it's likely a rough one.

If he can pull the team together and keep winning the games we should win (say 4-3 over to end the season, 1-1 in the ACCT, and at least 1 in the NCAAT) while the team looks fairly good and cohesive and not getting blown out while doing so, keeping the team together despite losing its best player - in additional to the highs we've had this year - may get him another year.

But that's a hard row to hoe and I'm sure it's not one that anyone would choose.

If Davis couldn't put together consistent performances with a generational talent, I don't know why anyone would expect him to be able to do so when actively compensating for the absence of a generational talent.
