WoW…🏀
UNC has not officially appointed Jordan to any front-office or staff position. Reputable sources and the official UNC athletics site list Hubert Davis as head coach and Jim Tanner as the newly hired General Manager in February 2025 .
Rumors circulated in May about UNC inviting Jordan to interview for an Assistant GM role , but there’s been no confirmation that he accepted or was officially appointed.
Sensational reports claiming Jordan is head coach or in charge of player development at UNC — including $200 million investments at the school — lack credible sourcing and are likely fabricated, with no evidence from local media or UNC itself .

🧐 Why misinformation spreads
The hype around UNC’s new basketball GM and evolving NIL structures sparked speculation, and Jordan’s legendary association with UNC made him an easy target for exaggerated rumors .
Clickbait sites often push improbable stories like “Michael Jordan signs as head coach” without any factual basis.

✅ Verified from UNC
Hubert Davis remains head coach, with Jim Tanner officially brought on as basketball GM .
Jordan has no official role; any involvement remains speculative or informal at best.

Bottom line
No credible source confirms Jordan has accepted a formal position at UNC.
If you come across similar claims, check for confirmation from UNC’s official athletics communications or reputable sports outlets (ESPN, AP, etc.).
