Then UNC sits down with the donors and says "Look, we hear you. We are working on a long term plan to replace Coach Davis. We need a year to get it in place. We will need NIL to get us there. If we can't get a decent roster next year, it will be that much harder to hire a new coach."
And if the donors say, no, we will withhold NIL money next year if you don't fire Coach Davis immediately, then they are shitty fans who are willing to hurt to team to get what they want. I might be willing to call that bluff. Presumably these donors call themselves Heel fans. Are they willing to hurt the program for a year to get what they want? Maybe. Maybe not.
If this coaching search goes to hell and we take our ninth or tenth choice and miss out on a bunch of folks in the portal (and re-recruiting folks to stay here) because it is dragging on, we could be in a pretty awful situation next year. I don't want that.
