Davis has been an assistant coach under Williams for the past nine seasons in Chapel Hill and was immediately considered a front runner for the position when the legendary coach announced he was stepping away on April 1. He's the sixth coach to take over in Chapel Hill over the past 70 years.
Williams graduated from North Carolina in 1972 and set out on a coaching career. He returned to his Alma Mater in 1978 for a 10-year stint as an assistant coach under Dean Smith, winning a national championship in 1982. From there, Williams moved on to take his first head coaching position with Kansas, earning National Coach of the Year honors with the Jawhawks in two separate decades.
