North Carolina coach Hubert Davis has signed a two-year extension running through the 2029-30 season, and hired basketball agent Jim Tanner as the men’s basketball program’s executive director and general manager.

The latest deal includes a raise and pays Davis an average of $3.2 million in base salary and supplemental pay, up from about $2 million on the previous deal reached in July 2022 that ran through the 2027-28 season.
All right! Dang they don’t pay him squat compared to what a UNC coach usually makes.

I'm reading through his contract now and it looks like if he's fired without cause, he's owed the full amount left on their contract, but they also have some really good language in it:

Coach is required to mitigate the university's payment obligations by making best efforts as soon as practical to secure a comparable position....Coach's lack of diligence in seeking a comparable position, or coach's refusal of a reasonable offer of comparable position, shall void the university's payment obligations.

Genius!
Is the diligence spelled out? Like he has to seek another coaching job or interview so many times a year? Maybe try and get a studio or assistant job?

NC just paid for an additional 2 years of irrelevance. That’s good money paid.

It’s interesting because I would assume if he gets fired from UNC he would go back to TV. He didn’t try to break into the coaching ranks until he had the chance to take over in Chapel Hill, that doesn’t seem like someone who is dead set on being a coach even if it means dropping down a level.

It’s strange that he didn’t have much coaching experience until he worked for Roy a few years and then took over. You would have thought they learned better after Matt Doherty.
