2026 Coaching Carousel

Great move by VCU

UNC’s execution (or lack thereof I should say) of that NCAA tourney loss was one of most egregious I have ever watched. A complete cluster—- and it was not only the poor decision making of the players, it was some poor preparation and coaching. It was hard to watch if you were a UNC fan.
I really don’t think Hubert will survive it.

I wonder if we’ll see NC and Kentucky looking for new coaches at the same time.

I highly doubt they fire Pope after only 2 years.

Hubert Davis out at UNC

Not surprised by this…

Have to assume UNC already knows who their next HC will be

Name to look out for here is Coach Holmes returning to his Alma mater as a potential top assistant if he is not in the running for a lower level HC job

The guy beat K in his last game at Cameron, then ended K’s career in the final four, not that long ago. Should be a UNC God.

Tough business man…

The school that thought Bill Belichick was a slam-dunk hire for college football and has pissed off most of its alums with its plans to replace the Dean Dome? Assuming competence in Chapel Hill is not the current default setting.

Especially after a freak injury to a lottery pick..but they wanted him gone2 years ago. It was always going to end this way

Huge buyout but Nate Oats might be the UNC choice.

yeah.. I’d say flex big time and go after Oats.

Hurley - crazy enough to put UConn’s feet to the fire

Byington - parlay the success at Vandy

Schertz - bet the ink isn’t dry on that extension

=>Sources are telling me UNC is going to hire Cornelius Deuteronomy Pickens IV from Tennessee Baptist Catholic Central College.

He was considered the favorite all along…apparently he was. Doesn’t seem like Travis was in the running so long as Nored
said yes.

Hopefully Carolina hires Billy Donovan and Kansas hires that assistant already on staff that played for them so there’s no real dominos as a result.

This guy is the only one reporting this…not that this wont happen, but no reporters with a real byline have posted anything
