Thamel believes that Davis will not be coaching this team moving forward, and gave a timetable on when we can expect a decision to be announced.
UNC chancellor clears up Hubert Davis rumors with everyone waiting for final decision
 "The future of Hubert Davis at North Carolina right now is squarely in flux. In the wake of these back-to-back first-round NCAA tournament exits. The sides are expected to talk in the upcoming days, and no decision on Davis's future is expected until early next week."
While some think he'll be fired, Thamel isn't under that belief, citing that he believes the university will work with him to synchronize his departure from the program.
"Do not expect Davis to be fired outright. Any kind of departure would be synchronized, likely between he and the school. Hubert Davis is a legend at North Carolina and will be treated with that type of respect. The options here are simple. Keep Davis with significant changes to the staff and program, or orchestrate some type of wholesale change to the coaching staff and bring in a whole new regime."
Thamel provided UNC fans with a ton of hope about the likely head coaching opening, noting that this will be a highly-sought after job and how prominent coaches are expected to be in the mix to land the gig.
ChatGPT's 'best choice' to replace Hubert Davis would be a dream for UNC fans
"The tenor at North Carolina right now is that there will be a new coaching staff there next season. The entire basketball world, meanwhile is transfixed on Chapel Hill. This is arguably the best job in the entire sport. If Davis does move on from Carolina, expect UNC to target Hall of Fame coaches and national championship coaches who could well be playing in this Final Four.
This job would echo through every corner of this NCAA tournament and really throughout the entire sport."
