Let me get this straight.. some of you people think Clemson

could just go out and hire some fabulous basketball coach when UNC -- one of the blue bloods of men's college basketball -- had to settle for a guy who's never been a college head coach a day in his life. And before becoming an assistant at UNC -- get this -- he was working as an analyst for ESPN.
Maybe you should be a little more greatful for who we have.

No doubt. Never hire an assistant coach straight to head coach. Correct if I am wrong, but I don't think it has ever worked in any sport.

So if everyone adopted that, if the only path to getting a job as head coach is to already be a head coach, how would anyone ever become a head coach?

I don't know. I just know it's never been done successfully. Can you think of a case?

Next thing you are going to tell me is that's how Roy Williams did it as well.

Three of the four guys I listed have national championships as first time head coaches.

So did Roy Williams by the way. He was an assistant for Dean Smith and then became HC at Kansas. He has 3 National Titles.

And all that leads you to the conclusion that there has never been a successful first time head coach?

Yep Roy went to Kansas after being a UNC assistant. Imagine if Clemson overlooked Dabo because he was “only an assistant”. Sometimes the best talent is already on staff. Hubert is the right guy. Heel fans know it and we’re laughing at the mockers out there. They laughed about us bringing back old Granpa Brown too.

yes, we now have 4 first-time head coaches with national championships listed, but, again, it is much easier to say that assistants NOT named Mark Richt have won national championships as first-time head coaches.

I believe that it's best sometime to hire a FB head coach that has never been a HC at any level, and has never been a Coordinator on either side of the ball. I know one that was willing to work his A$$ off to build a championship FB team. That guy was Dabo Swinney, and that is what he has done at Clemson for our FB program!!!!

The "Let me get this straight" posts are always my favorites. Seriously though, UNC is going to be interesting to watch in the next year or two.

The holes didn’t hire Hubert Davis because they couldn’t get a big name, they did it because the wouldn’t go outside the family. They want to keep the lineage of James Naismith to Adolph Rupp to Dean Smith to Roy and Hubert intact so that they can claim a link to the creator of the sport. Problem is that Dean doesn’t have anyone other than Roy in his coaching tree that’s worth a ##### as a coach.
