5 North Carolina coaching replacements after Hubert Davis fired
UNC has fired Hubert Davis, per reports. Here are some coaching candidates to replace him at North Carolina, like Todd Golden.

So who could the Tar Heels hire to replace the former player turned coach?
Good question. Here's a list of some names who have been thrown out by fans on social media after the news broke: Todd Golden Timeline coming together? UNC needs a home run hire.
