North Carolina is planning to hire Hubert Davis as its next men's basketball head coach, according to the Charlotte Observer's CL Brown.

According to the Observer, UNC athletic director Bubba Cunningham interviewed at least eight candidates over the weekend, including two who did not play at Carolina.
Williams retired last Thursday after 18 seasons and three national titles at Carolina. Regarding his successor, he previously said that he would "would like for it to be a Carolina guy." According to Stadium's Jeff Goodman, Davis was Williams's choice to be his replacement.
He will be the first Black head coach of Carolina's men's basketball program.

Davis also worked for ESPN as a college basketball analyst.
Davis will inherit a UNC program that went 18-11 last year and finished the year with a loss to Wisconsin in the first round of men's NCAA tournament. This year marked the first time in Williams's career that he lost in the first round of the men's NCAA tournament.
