‘I will be here cheering:’ Hear from Roy Williams on the hiring of his successor Hubert Davis

Posted Apr 7, 2021
When you’ve done something for so long at such a high level, it’s hard to let it go. That had to be true for Roy Williams as he gave up coaching on April 1 after 33 seasons as a head coach, including 18 at North Carolina and three national championships. His successor is Hubert Davis and though bittersweet, Williams seems ecstatic to watch him get to work. (CBS 17)
