I am sure he does understand the tradition of running a degree mill and supplying rental cars to their ball players. Strange how anyone would think that the Carolina way is a tradition someone would want to continue.
Hubert Davis next Head Coach at UNC
- Thread starter MWes11

I'm not getting your outrage at this one. The only crying I'm seeing is from you. Did you read this thread?
Inaccurately labeling "outrage" followed by the "no you're upset. not me" reply.
The good ole double play.
This entire thread is littered with people either upset or confused that Hubert got the gig.
One of us is outraged, and it's not me. Why don't you be honest, and get to your real agenda. We both know what I mean.
No one is "upset" or "confused" by "Hubert" being named coach. Everyone seems happy about it. Such an obviously poor hire just to stay in the UNC family benefits us UK fans. Not you.

Everyone seems happy about it, but it's an "obviously poor hire". Got it. Makes perfect sense.
Hubert might work out well and seems like a great human being. But UNCheats hiring a head coach with ZERO experience is pretty shocking. Im just grateful they did not hire a sure thing like Stevens, Donovan, Few, or even Holtmann, Oats or Musselman.
Would a rival school be happy for a slam dunk hire? Or would they be happy for what they see as a poor hire? If Hubert proves us wrong more power to him. He has a good support system. UNC will do just about anything to win games.
If you were a Kentucky fan, it would make sense.
This should make sense. Unless someone has another agenda.
What’s weird about it? unCHEAT is the cheatingest scum in college sports. any shade cast their way is well deserved and they should be shaded upon relentlessly.
That is great that Davis is the new coach at carolina. I can't stand their cheating ***, and Davis is about the worst hire they could have hired. I love it.
He was hoping to troll it over to another line of discussion, but he fell short.
I can't stand UNCHEAT!!!!
Their fans had always looked down their noses at UK, then they get exposed for running an ENTIRE Major for athletes with grades GIVEN to them, then all of the sudden they go TIGHTLIPPED on the YEARS of CHEATING!!!
It REALLY pisses me off how UK got HAMMERED by the NCAA in the 80's and UNCHEAT got by with ALL of the payments to players and giving of grades and actual FAKE degrees!!!
So when they hired Hubert FREAKIN Davis, I laughed my butt off!!! He is a JOKE and so are the Tar Holes!!!

Your "point" has been blown apart through out this thread. I would suggest moving on to some other locale.
Is there going to be a big deal made of the fact that he is their black HC...bet not!
Kentucky fans believe that Hubert is very bad hire due not having head coaching experience. We are happy because North Carolina is a rival and when a rival makes a bad hire. Also the Carolina Way is a joke. UNC was/are running a degree mill for players so the idea that hiring someone to continue that is very odd. You support hiring someone that would continue a degree mill?“blown apart”?How?
UNC always keeps it in the family.
It’s one of the few things I admire about their program. Maybe the only thing.

Yeah it did go right over your head.
The notion that Kentucky fans interest in UNC hiring the a "the best coach possible" is disingenuous and your comments prove that.
The same Kentucky fans that have boo hoo'd all year about Coach Calipari thumbing his nose to Kentucky tradition and want him fired are some of the same fans upset that UNC hired Hubert Davis despite him being firmly entrenched in UNC's tradition and being an assistant coach for 9 years.
There is nothing that would lead anyone to believe that the Academic scandal that occurred at UNC is still going on. Not to mention that the scandal happened before Hubert was an assistant.
So save your tears.
Lol, and there is nothing that leads us to believe that the issues at UNC have stopped. Why would it? They got away with it all. Kentucky's tradition is winning games. Calipari won very few this season. People are disappointed and winning and losing ultimately falls on the head coach. Cal can't dodge that.
No one is upset about Hubert Davis being hired. I would think every UK fan should be very happy. He can keep their corrupt tradition going and lose games which makes Kentucky fans happy. It is a celebration. If you understand basketball and are a UK fan I am surprised you are not celebrating the same. Being an assistant is nothing like being a head coach at a blue blood. Hubert seems to be a nice guy. When the UNC wine and cheesers turn on him I will feel bad for the guy.
Duke should hire Bilas as their next head coach. That would truly make me happy. That would be awesome for the same reasons.
Your reasoning is poor.
I find it funny they call us a racist school yet we hired an African American coach before they did.
UNC is giving a longtime Assistant and former player the gig. I don't see the problem. Joker comes to mind. He/they deserve the chance. If they fail, fire them. But dont call them racist for firing him after giving him a chance for the HC job. Both sides of that type of "trolling" irritate the heck out of me.
And they funneled black student athletes into fake no-show majors named African-American Studies and Swahili for decades. Depriving those kids of a real education and simultaneously saying that African-American studies is a joke and not worth teaching. Easily the most racist and shameful thing any school has done in the past 50 years.
I don't see a problem with it either. It is their risk. Although I am trying to remember the success rate of assistants who became head coaches at a blue blood and I don't remember many being successful beyond year one or two.
In comparison, I like Kenny Payne but I would want to see what he is like leading at a school like DePaul or similar before he became head coach at Kentucky, Of course, that is all up to Mitch. If hired I would support him but I would see it as an unnecessary risk instead of going for a higher profile experienced head coach.
Agree. But like Joker....it was almost impossible not to make that hire. But I too am not sure how to judge an assistant vs an actual head coach. The assistant doesnt have the same pressure or control so he may be on a total different page but is a good #2 following orders. Hard to say but in our case KP is sure looking good after this past clunker season.
In the case of Roy and Coach Rich Brooks both were retiring so a house cleaning is not in order. The #2 Is the logical heir.
I can see the logic in Joker but his inexperience showed. As an assistant I think a tough issue is bringing in quality assistants. If I am a quality assistant I would want to work for a proven head coach to be part of his tree and gain experience. If I am the new head coach (former assistant) do I bring in someone who has the experience necessary but may overshadow me. If I don't bring in that type that leaves me with what may be bad choices.
And Kentucky isn't a blue blood football program so risking a Joker hire isn't as big a deal. UNC basketball is supposed to be one of the premier schools. Taking this risk at a blue blood is very bold. The AD there must be retiring in the next couple of years to make this choice. I wouldn't do it.
As others have said, this is what UNC does, so it's not surprising. I also think it's just another example of there not being this "can't miss" coach or a "that guy is a perfect fit there" coach out there right now, like Cal was to UK. Heck, I thought Mack would be a great fit for Louisville, but they hate his style and they fall apart every Feb.
Most assistants are assistants for a reason, IMO. The ones who are good enough should get a HC job to get experience in that role BEFORE being considered for a school like UK. If we hired KP, I would probably just resign myself to 4 years of struggles. Nothing against KP but promoting assistants in other vocations is usually a bad move.
I think HD will do a fine job. If not, we'll find someone else. Frankly, I've never understood the angst of a down season or two if you're a blue blood. Not like football where it takes hell of a lot more than one class to turn around a program.
