North Carolina should not hire Brad Stevens

America wants it to be Carolina and I want to come on your show nationally and say: We don't want Brad Stevens. Why do I want a floundering NBA coach to be my coach? I'm trying to win championships. Send him to Duke. He's a private school coach. Send him to Duke.

UNC eventually hired Hubert Davis, and Brad Stevens moved into the front office for the Celtics, never returning to college.

Hubert Davis will probably be the next head coach at North Carolina

I think the plan right now, as Big Cat said, is Hubert Davis. Hubert Davis will probably be the next head coach in North Carolina. I love Hubert Davis as a guy. I don't know Hubert Davis as a coach. So we'll see.

Hubert Davis was indeed announced as the UNC head coach shortly after this episode.

Coach K won the long-term war against Roy Williams by successfully navigating the one-and-done era

Coach K won the war. In 2010, 2009, going into 2010, Duke basketball was dead. Carolina won the war. We won in 2005, won in 2009. Duke has no hope, and [Coach K] was able to outlast and endure [by moving into the one-and-done era].

This is a subjective historical analysis of the rivalry's final decade.

Kansas and North Carolina are the top two jobs in college basketball

I think that the top two jobs in college basketball are Kansas and North Carolina, and they're interchangeable to me. Kentucky is probably number three on that list for me. I think UCLA is the fourth best job in the country.

This is a subjective hierarchy of coaching prestige.

Indiana basketball is the fifth best job in the country

I think my fifth school would probably be Indiana. I think that in general, you just have kids that want to play there because of the prestige, tradition, whatever it is. And you have Indianapolis, which has a ton of basketball talent and the surrounding area in general.

Subjective ranking of coaching positions.

Houston winning the Final Four would be the worst case scenario for entertainment

I think Houston winning is worst case, though, because if Houston's in the title game, then Gonzaga or UCLA will beat them, in my opinion. I'm terrified of that.

Houston lost in the Final Four to Baylor, so the 'worst case' scenario was avoided.

North Carolina is actually a football school now and Sam Howell will win the Heisman Trophy

North Carolina is a football school. Always has been, always will be. Sam Howell for Heisman. Yes. That's all it is.

Hot TakeCFBScorchingSarcastic
Sam Howell did not win the Heisman (Bryce Young won in 2021), and UNC remains a basketball-first institution.
