For the second year in a row, the University of North Carolina Tar Heels will dominate headlines about its coaches. Last year, it was Bill Belichick going back to college and becoming UNC Football’s head coach, and this year, the focus is on UNC Basketball following the dismissal of Hubert Davis.

Thus, Davis getting bounced in the first round of the NCAA Tournament in consecutive years is unacceptable, and at the same time, UNC won’t have a shortage of interest for this position. Here are the top candidates to replace Davis and become the next North Carolina Basketball head coach.
