WoW…๐
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 thereโs 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 โ including $200 million investments at the school โ lack credible sourcing and are likely fabricated, with no evidence from local media or UNC itself .
—
๐ง Why misinformation spreads
The hype around UNC’s new basketball GM and evolving NIL structures sparked speculation, and Jordanโs legendary association with UNC made him an easy target for exaggerated rumors .
Clickbait sites often push improbable stories like โMichael Jordan signs as head coachโ without any factual basis.

โ 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 UNCโs official athletics communications or reputable sports outlets (ESPN, AP, etc.).ย
