Well that complicates things! Wow. 

If not Beard, what's the move? Turgeon and Tad Boyle are part of the Williams coaching tree.  So is Jerod Haase.

Edited by Js1

Fuck... was hoping it’s an April fools joke... makes Beard a logical target 

Beard has to be their #1 target. The pecking order seems to have been set as no job will be more prestigious than UNC this year. 

They're a big "keep it in the family" school (same as Duke). Probably strong consideration for Steve Robinson or Hubert Davis from their current staff. Buzz Peterson and King Rice are former players still pretty successful at other schools. Somehow Larry Brown's name will be thrown in as well.

Wes Miller, UNC-Greensboro

Jerry Stackhouse, Vanderbilt

This is the one job that could be all over the place... do they keeping in house from the current staff, do the in vouge thing and go after a former player, go for best coach under 50, go best legend that will move, or do lots of people get cold feet of not wanting to follow a legend ...

 

Regardless shittastic timing for our search

Does Mack push for Barnes to get 2/3rds of the band back together? (RIP, Augie)

Disastrous timing for us. UNC will beat us out for any of the major candidates they have an eye on.

Miller, Stackhouse, Davis are the 3 that I've heard thrown around

Pretty wild stat, but the last time the Tarheels hired a head coach without previous playing/coaching experience at UNC was 1952.

Just browsing the UNC boards and they're even more delusional than us, maybe for good reason. Few, Wright, and Stevens are reasonable candidates to them.

Bye Boomer. If you're sitting on a your $5 million salary and are complaining about the kids actually playing the game making a few bucks for their signatures, it's probably best that you retire. The days of using the athletes to fund your extravagant buildings and salaries are going to end soon.

It's a top-2 job in college basketball, they can aim high.

Yeah UNC will go after someone from the Roy Williams/UNC tree...I doubt Beard will even be on their radar. Even if he was, I don't think he'd be interested...even though it's a premier job. He is a state of TX/Big XII guy, the only upgrade in program I could see him wanting would be Texas or Kansas.

Few probably not since he's pretty much committed to the zags, but the others are reasonable. Literally anyone is a reasonable consideration at a place like UNC. Stevens seems pretty stuck too, but he may rethink for the bluest of blue-bloods if they really want him.

You'd think Matt Doherty would have cured them of that.

so basically what we do when we're looking for a new football coach.

"we should get Saban.  if not him, then go after Belichick."

i don't see any way in hell UNC goes after Beard.  it wouldn't be as bad as Billy Gillispie going from aggy to Kentucky, but it wouldn't end well.  UNC is gonna stay in the family (as mentioned above).

I'll be a little shocked if it's not Wes Miller. 

Shit, that dude has been at UNCG for 10 years!  That's not the kind of place you stay 10 years with that type of success.

Wow unc has to be disappointed they missed on Shaka. Disastrous for them.

Yeah, would suck if the players could make money approaching a small percentage of his salary. Makes sense.

Wow on beard. Must have been so far down the line that he can’t turn back or UNC was just holding out hope that Roy wouldn’t retire and never made an overture. Great hire for UT. Tough day for UNC. If they hire Hubert Davis he will be fired after his second year. Definitely not later than selection Sunday of his 3rd.
