The University of North Carolina is looking for a new head coach after firing Hubert Davis. Davis was let go after the Tar Heels' first-round loss in the 2026 NCAA Tournament. He had over $5 million left on his contract. The school is now considering seven big-name coaches, including Arizona's Tommy Lloyd, Michigan's Dusty May, and Alabama's Nate Oats. Four of these coaches are still competing in the NCAA Tournament. Michigan is trying to keep May, who led the Wolverines to a No. 1 seed this year. The hiring process is expected to be competitive, with one ACC head coach worried that UNC could become a top team again with the right coach.
