Tar Heels Fire Hubert Davis as They Launch National Coaching Search
North Carolina announced it is parting ways with coach Hubert Davis after a historic first-round collapse to VCU, paying roughly $5.3 million to buy out his contract. The school will conduct a national coaching search led by outgoing AD Bubba Cunningham and incoming AD Steve Newmark, with Turnkey ZRG aiding the search and an advisory group of stakeholders guiding the process amid donor concerns about roster funding and modernization.
