Mack Brown just got an extension. It’s a football school now.

it's not like Roy Williams could give a shit about Carolina
State fan here- Not gonna happen. Roy owned Raleigh, and will until he strokes out. I'm counting 2 maybe three more Raleigh embarrassments in the future.
You never know what their family is saying in their ears. For some kids, college is just about getting to the pros. It isn't about winning a title. From all I have read, Kessler wanted to play more of a stretch 4/5 and pop threes like centers do in the NBA, and Roy wasn't interested in him doing that. It's possible his family decided he would be better off at a school where he could do what he wanted.
Two of the best articles I read this year dealt with Kessler's official visit to UNC and Roy's taking over at Kansas. I didn't realize how much KU had to be sold on Roy. Whether he will stick his neck out for HOF Wes the way Dean did for him will be interesting to see.
I wonder if they will hire rising star Wojo.
Birds are real.
Carolina won 3 under 'Ol Roy. Pretty impressive. I think, however, that he recruits using Lindy's basketball magazine.
Vandy really improved under Stack late in season. My guess is Hubert Davis gets first call if Roy decides to play golf full time.

Jerry Stackhouse is a serious candidate? I thought he was flaming out and going back and forth with fans on Twitter or something.
I don't see Davis as having the chops to succeed at UNC, he strikes me as the next Doherty who will also be out of his depth, perhaps without the temper. Wes Miller might work, although there's no guarantee that he will be able to elevate his coaching to succeed in the ACC and UNC the way he has at UNCG, which has far lower expectations and fan pressure. There's been a lot of grumbling from UNC fans about Roy for the past couple of years, and not without reason, but if they don't make the right hire they may easily regret it in a few years. And this time there is no Roy Williams waiting in the wings to bail them out, as happened with Doherty. Given all the changes happening in college basketball, they might well find themselves becoming the next Indiana instead of quickly returning to what they're used to and feel entitled to expect.
Rasheed is coaching kids now. He would probably do it.

UNC is not going to hand the program over to an unproven coach.
If and when Roy hangs it up, I suspect you'll hear names like Beard & Oats... Not Stackhouse & Wallace.
