Here’s an early list of candidates to replace Roy Williams at UNC. The fault line is going to be staying in the family, as they say, versus bringing someone else in. Given the nature of UNC’s program, as Williams himself suggested in 2019, saying “I would like for it to be a Carolina guy. I don’t know if I have any say in it. But I want it to be someone with the same beliefs for what North Carolina has always stood for. For whoever it is, I’d like to see them continue that part of it.”
It’s worth pointing out, again, that in his new book, former UNC coach Matt Doherty said the Dean Smith hired him, not then-AD Dick Baddour.
