Hubert Davis didn’t exactly take on an easy task when he replaced Roy Williams as the head coach in Chapel Hill. For one thing, he’s following a guy who won three national titles. For another, there were bound to be overblown crises of confidence within the fanbase at the first signs of struggle, given that Roy and his stellar track record were no longer there to reassure people.
Indeed there has been no shortage of consternation this season, mainly because UNC has been blown out a few times this season. That includes a 17-point loss to Tennessee, a 29-point loss to Kentucky, and more recently, losses by 20-plus at Miami and Wake Forest.
