A good rule of thumb about coaching searches:

No name will have more than 50% support. But once a name is announced and the initial changes take place, there is a group psychological effect that takes over, and the new coach will have a 90%-95% approval of the fan base before October. And that will last all the way until the first loss.

This rule applies with almost all coaching searches. Even Belichick had amazing fan support until the TCU game (despite lots of opposition before the hiring was finalized).
Perhaps you’re right overall. That said, I knew almost no one that was happy with Belichick - and from the start.
 
All that said… watching 6 seed Tennessee easily handle their 11 seed - a very good Miami of Ohio team - I really get upset at Hubert for being so dag gone “Roy stubborn” and not making any adjustments yesterday when things started going south. That loss was totally on the coach… and I say this as a former coach.

I’d take Rick Barnes in a NY minute as our coach.

Time to move on from Hubert
He’d be younger than our football coach, but Rick Barnes is 71.
 
Not sure what that proves other than people who posted on a message board weren't unhappy about it.
This. I decided to withhold judgement out of loyalty to my alma mater. Literally laughed and told my woofie next door neighbor we are fools, but did not "publish" any opinion.

But that hiring was a shitshow from the start. And, fwiw, probably part of the reason we end up keeping HD this offseason, bc football in much worse shape than basketball.
 
Guess I shouldn’t scoff at the idea of UNC getting Brad Stevens after they landed Belichick, but hard to see that happening.

To be honest I would have mixed feelings about that. He hasn’t coached at the college level in over a decade and hasn’t coached period in 5 years.

It would get the BIG Rams excited--which is needed?
