Hubert Davis contract with UNC
The contract extension is a significant improvement from what Davis signed in April 2021. At that time, he inked a five-year, $10-million deal to serve as a replacement for two-time AP Coach of the Year Roy Williams.
After leading the Tar Heels to the NCAA championship game, Davis and his players failed to live up to the preseason hype as they only wound up 20-13, costing them a ticket to the tournament proper.
Davis, who played for North Carolina from 1988-92, is currently in Year 3 of his contract extension. He bounced back from the 2022-23 nightmare season and guided his team to a 19-5 record this time around.
