Probably about time.

 

[BhamToTexas]

Well I don’t love a blue blood opportunity opening after the season we just had.

 

[selmaborntidefan]

Is this a real story? I'm only asking because it IS April 1.

I wouldn't worry ... this seems calculated, so it seems to reason they already know who the replacement is. Plus, there's nothing that CNO can accomplish, receive or achieve at UNC that he can't here.

I feel you but it's on their site and all of the media outlets are carrying it now so it would be a bad look if it's an April Fools joke. Does raise eyebrows for them to do it today though. I'm assuming they announce his replacement next week.

I would never have posted if I wasn't 100% sure. I waited until I got 3 alerts plus I checked UNC's website.

Now who will they go after? I have been looking to see if there is a former UNC coach or player that would satisfy their fanbase and honestly cannot think of one.

He probably told them months ago that he was going to hang it up. I would say you are correct and they already know and are negotiating with the replacement.

Crank up the Saban to UNC rumors...

"He conquered football, now his new challenge - basketball!"

 

[OakMtn4Bama]

Roy was an excellent coach, but he looked tired this year.

 

[DogPatch]

Roy was an excellent coach, but he looked tired this year.

Last year, too.

Heard names of Beard, Few and Drew on the radio today. I don't think CNO even entertains the job.

Speculation is OK, but when this thread starts to post unfounded rumors, it gets whacked...

Edit: "It was on Bleacherreport" is not "founded"...

 

[BJ4TIDE]

If they haven’t/don’t at least call CNO they are crazy.

It seems to me that's the very definition of "founded" - as in, "I found it on Bleacher Report."

 

[DogPatch]

Some of the names on these "lists" of replacements is crazy. I get that you want Few, Oats, etc. But some guys that have never even coached, or have losing records?

This is why this is my favorite part of basketball season.

Let’s all hope they’re the craziest bunch of maroons this side of the Mississippi!!

 

[AUDub]

Roy was an excellent coach, but he looked tired this year.

Last year, too.

Getting smashed by Auburn in the sweet 16 will do that.

 

[BamaMoon]

I feel much better about this development with how quickly CNO responded about the Indiana opening. Plus, he just signed a huge extension!

 

[TexasBama]

Is Kenny Smith in the running as a replacement? He’s an NC guy after all

 

[selmaborntidefan]

As a reminder of things we don't want to think about, Roy Williams is only 15 months older than Coach Saban is.
