Hiring a 60 year old who has been out of coaching for a decade would be a serious disappointment. College basketball is a completely different universe to navigate than it was when Billy Donovan was a great coach. 

Mark Byington wants the job but UNC has Donovan ahead of him on their list.

He's not ready for a UNC level gig. Maybe he'll earn a shot at a blue blood job at some point, but a couple of decent seasons at Vandy just ain't enough. If he was in the family, maybe he gets a shot but that guy ain't gonna be the guy that gets Carolina to go outside the family. Mark Few should've been after Roy retired but not at 63.

He's on the coaching search list but they are waiting on May, Donovan and Lloyd before him.

Boomer donors will line up to pony up for Donovan because they remember him being a great coach. They're not lining up to pony up for a guy that's two games over .500 in the SEC through two years.

I'm just letting everyone know he's on the list in the second tier, not that I think it gets there because Donovan wants the job. 

UNC is waiting on Lloyd and Arizona's run to end, if that doesn't work out then Donovan is likely the new head coach.

Caleb Wilson going pro

Well, yeah. That was known before he signed his letter of intent. Caleb Wilson was always an obvious one and doner. Hate he got hurt, but him getting hurt solidified us moving on from Hubert so sucks for Caleb but probably best for the Heels in the long run. Though if he becomes a great pro not sure how much love he'll retain for the program with his coach getting poo canned. Whatever. It is what it is. Loved watch the kid in Carolina blue for a few games.

i just watched Lloyd get COMPLETELY outcoached by Matt Painter, despite Lloyd having 5 future NBA players and Matt Painter having zero. 

That's essentially what Hubert did for 5 seasons.  No thanks. 

Go get Mark Few, stop fuging around.

    • if  ANYONE actually goes & looks at the FACTS on rookie Qb's after 2 full seasons as a starter in the NFL & they are still well below average do they rarely ever actually become top tier Qb's & instead most likely either do not recieve a second contract & or become life long backups...just saying 
    • 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.
