I hope this puts an end to the Hubert Davis experiment. 

It won't, you guys will cling to him ending coach K's career both at home and in the tourney and forget the national championship choke job. Sucked in the moment as a Duke fan but I'll love every day that the chump is UNC's head man.

The final wins over K enroute to a title game run (along with Roy's strong support) bought him a long leash but at this point the financial commitments are playing a MUCH bigger role. We have a lot of money tied up in Hubert and Belichick and replacing Belichick is probably seen as the far more pressing matter.

The way duke fans act you'd think they were Wooden's UCLA but all they've really been doing is providing a stopover for a year for NBA lottery picks while not winning any titles. You're not Wooden's UCLA, you're Calipari's Memphis.

That one moment has done more damage to UNC Baksetball than anything in recent memory.

Agreed. Ruining K's send off twice was awesome on the way to a national championship game appearance but it gave the administration way too much co fodwncw in Hubert when the reality was rhat streaky shooters in Caleb Love and RJ Davis just got red hot at the right time and Hubert finally carved out a major role for Brady Manek.

Hell, this year's win over duke was kinda the same story. The team came put absolutely sleepwalking and not ready to play outside of Caleb Wilson and Seth Trimble who pretty much by themselves kept us from getting absolutely blown out by half. The rest of the roster did practically nothing in the 1st half other than steal oxygen that Wilson and Trimble could've been breathing.

"I'm not stunned," Hansbrough said. "We talked about it at halftime, you asked me 'you have to be pretty happy.' And I said, 'No I've seen this story before.' I've seen this happen. They just had some lapses in games where they just go still offensively, defensively. Their competitiveness just drops a little bit. They never step on anybody's throat. When they have a team with a little bit of a lead, they never step on the throat. It's been something all year."

The only disagreement I'd have with Hansbrough's assessment is that it's not limited to just this year. It's been Hubert's entire tenure. Hallmarks of Hubert's teams are: streaky shooting, streaky focus, running your starters into the dirt because you won't sub, and absolutely embarrassingly bad plays put of timeouts. It all points straight to the coach. When the roster keeps changing but the core fundamental issues keep recurring, it's not the players.

UNC needs it's boosters to put their foot down and withdraw funds from this absolute trainwreck. 

The sad and infuriating part is we have the most recognizable and one of the richest ex-athletes who does absolutely nothing to help with funding or influencing recruits.  Until he steps up, this school will never be really good at basketball or football again.

The problem UNC basketball has is that the next coach would be selected with heavy input by Roy Williams again, which is what led to Hubert being hired in the first place. Bleh

I said it 6 years ago when Hubert was the next in line.  Back the fuging Brinks truck up to Spokane Washington and force Mark Few to tell his wife they are moving across the country.

Roy Williams never should have had any input.

      So he became GM and decided not to address the weakness in the QB room following one of the worst rookie QB performances in NFL history?  There were options last season other than signing Dalton to a 2 year deal. Brissett and Jones by a wide margin, both of whom outplayed Bryce, Wilson, Winston, hell even Rivers off the couch was more exciting at the QB position. The time to address the failure in the QB room was last year but instead people on the Huddle cheered when we brought Dalton back then cheered when we were able to get anything for him after they finally realized he was washed up like a few of had been saying all along and got poo'd for even mentioning.  This year, the options were more limited obviously, especially since we lost Icky. It changed the dynamic of our draft. I think we were stuck this year keeping Bryce, but i still think giving him a 5th year option for what has amounted to replacement worthy performance was the wrong move. Why guarantee 25m if you're planning to replace him? You think he's going to want to be a bridge QB? Hell no. He's going to want out and we'll end up cutting him if he has another lackluster season because no one is trading for him with that price tag.  Were there better options as far as production available. A couple. Were there guys available with more physical tools than Bryce, Pickett or Grier, you damn well better believe there were. I've been saying all along, you always keep looking for your 1b. Bryce has yet to prove he can be a starter. Keep looking for someone who may. Put competition in camp. Let the best QB lead the team. Stop settling for less than mediocre.

      Reasonable. I mean I didn’t see a clear path to relief this season myself. As I have typed already, I think the QB FA class is more interesting next season and that draft is supposed to be stacked as well. There just weren’t many options this year.  When you have Tepper to contend with you have to tread lightly around this unless you are 100% certain and willIng to stake your job on it.   There were a couple of outings that helped Bryce a lot in terms of  thinking maybe he can do this, and if you are a supporter you are giving them a lot of weight. You are likely to think just get him some more help and he can do that every week. Which I think Tepper falls into that category.  And the playoffs, division champs, regardless of the way I see that, the supporters will also give that a lot of weight.    And the big one, the atmosphere In BOA for that WC game, Tepper had to be soiling himself over that. If you pulled Bryce out right now you had better be right and your new guy had better make the playoffs and look good doing it or you will be gone and your chance to build your old team back into respectability will be gone too.  So here we have Pickett on a one year deal, and Grier and King. I understand it.
