North Carolina Fires Coach, Eyes New Leaders

North Carolinas college basketball team fired head coach Hubert Davis, who led the Tar Heels for five seasons with a 125-54 record. Despite his first-year national championship appearance, Davis struggled to maintain success, leading to his dismissal. The team is now seeking a new coach, with ESPNs Stephen A. Smith suggesting former Tar Heel and NBA champion Kenny Smith, but fans and colleague Chris Russo prefer a proven winner. Floridas Todd Golden and Iowa States T.J. Otzelberger are top candidates, while Boston Celtics executive Brad Stevens has withdrawn from the race. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
