With the program in danger of missing its second NCAA Tournament in three years, North Carolina coach Hubert Davis has made it clear he wants to see his team play with a sense of "emergency" -- a standard he doesn't believe they met in Monday's 85-65 loss to Clemson.

Hubert Davis led North Carolina to the national championship in his first year as head coach. However, following a rough start to this season, many have questioned Davis’s coaching future.

Davis also receives an annual expense allowance of $50,000 to be used for entertainment and “other appropriate purposes to advance the program,” $500,000 annually as part of North Carolina’s multimedia rights agreement with Learfield Communications and $250,000 per year from the school’s deal with Nike.

Davis, on his weekly radio show, stresses need for additional support staff to help him concentrate more on his primary job: coaching the team.

The loss now moves UNC to 1-10 in Quad 1 games and this season has the same feeling it did back in 2022-23. Barring a miracle run, North Carolina will miss the tournament for the second time in four seasons under Hubert Davis and now the talk about his job security continues to be in the focus.

It has not been a great season so far for the North Carolina Tar Heels, and their recent stretch of losing four of their last five games was capped off by a 87-70 loss to No. 2 Duke this past weekend.

Things are not looking good in Chapel Hill as the North Carolina basketball team got dominated on the road against #23 Clemson on Monday night. The Tar Heels desperately needed a win as they are fighting to get into NCAA Tournament position,

Davis' squad better play with a sense of desperation. If it doesn't, that will raise more questions about his job security.
