Roy Williams

I think old Roy has lost a few steps over the past couple seasons. His coaching just did not seem up to par with the players that he had.

It certainly will be interesting to see who the new HC at North Carolina will be. Curious if it will be an alum or someone with no ties to UNC at all.

North Carolina's 10 best candidates to replace Roy Williams after his retirement

Hubert Davis, UNC assistant coach

Wes Miller, UNC-Greensboro coach

Billy Donovan, Oklahoma City coach

John Beilein, Big Ten Network analyst

Porter Moser, Loyola coach

Jerry Stackhouse, Vanderbilt coach

Kenny Smith, TNT analyst

LeVelle Moton, North Carolina Central coach

Chris Holtmann, Ohio State
Holtmann is another candidate who will come up for openings, and it's based on his immediate impact at Ohio State. The Buckeyes have won 20-plus games each of the past four seasons, and Holtmann does have in-state experience with his stint at Gardner-Webb. Holtmann is one of the better major-conference candidates worth taking a look at.

Jerod Haase, Stanford coach

I wonder if UNC will look into Jay Wright (Villanova), Kevin Willard (Seton Hall), or Greg McDermott (Creighton)

Or Bryce Drew?

Mark Few would be a GRAND SLAM hire.

Few earns $1.8 million in base salary as head coach, according to Celebrity Net Worth, with performance bonuses that are common in college basketball.

UNC could easily triple that; maybe even quadruple it to match Rat Face's salary (i.e. $7.2+M) at Duke.

5 Coaches North Carolina Might Target To Replace Roy Williams

Hubert Davis

Wes Miller

Nate Oats

Jay Wright

Mark Few

Gonzaga head coach Mark Few poses similar issues for UNC. Currently leading his Bulldogs on one of the most dominant runs in NCAA history, it’s hard to imagine Few would want to leave his idilic coaching situation in Spokane.

That being said, the Tar Heels should certainly try. Through 22 seasons with the Zags, Few has proven himself as an undeniable winner. His 17 West Coast Conference championships, 22 NCAA Tournament appearances and two Final Fours show a level of dominance that is seldom seen in college basketball.

The only way Few would leave his current situation would be if he felt the need to prove himself at a higher level conference. But, as his team gears up for what looks like an NCAA championship finish, he probably isn’t too worried about that.

Until UNC says, "I'm think of a number, it has a dollar sign in front of it and a lot of zeroes after it."

Like 27 said Few has turned a nothing program into one that can rival any blueblood program. I do not think it is about the money with him. I am sure he probably had been approached about other jobs before this year With the way Gonzaga has been winning and recruiting. I have no idea what is in Spokane Washington or what is so special about Gonzaga but Few must like it and I doubt if dollars have anything to do with it.

Same can be said for Dook & Syracuse when Coach K & Boeheim retire.

Both of those schools have associate basketball coaches in waiting. There will be no outside search done when those two guys leave. It is highly possible that Hubert Davis could take over at Carolina if they want to stay inside which they did when they brought Roy Williams back.
