well i can tell you that over at Inside Carolina, any mention of these rumors are being removed from the forum with the quickness

11/2/2007 12:35:01 PM

FV on PackPride (who has been a pretty damn reliable source on the free boards) says Arkansas offered Butchie 3.2 mil/year and to pay off his buyout at UNC. Supposedly has 'til Tuesday to decide.

Take it for what it's worth.

I just love that the rumors are staying alive.

11/2/2007 1:18:48 PM

what does UNC pay him per year?

11/2/2007 1:19:44 PM

I think 1.8 mil/year.

11/2/2007 1:21:01 PM

quite a bump.

11/2/2007 1:23:23 PM

yeah if that is true as the white sox announcer says: HE GONE

11/2/2007 1:24:59 PM

If this happens and is somehow, through devine intervention, announced before next weekend...Well, everyone needs to carry giant poster sized pictures of Butch Davis inscribed with "We Love You Butch."

Of course, if he leaves, only about three fans of UNC will show up at the game.

11/2/2007 2:04:03 PM

^ The posters should be "Butch Slapped" themed.

11/2/2007 2:06:31 PM

if thats true, you'd think taking a job at your alma mater for 175% your current salary would be a no-brainer.

11/2/2007 2:09:49 PM

^^agreed. butch slapped should be the major theme.

11/2/2007 2:23:52 PM

am i the only one who doesn't believe any of these rumors?

has anything like this ever happened in the middle of the season?

11/2/2007 2:28:19 PM

haha. wtf is with the dumbass noobs in this thread. And I seriously doubt butchy will come outright and say that he's gone before the season ends. Although it would be fucking hilarious if he did.

11/2/2007 2:32:44 PM

^^ I don't think most of us really believe the rumors, but I think a lot of us want to because it would be hilarious.

11/2/2007 4:26:17 PM

I have attempted to make the rumors more pronounced on IC. We need it where UNC recruits will read it

11/2/2007 5:01:42 PM

Walmart's corporate headquarters are in Arkansas

oh the irony

11/3/2007 10:37:16 AM

now he is sure to leave

11/3/2007 8:30:58 PM

get this shit to the top, any new news? Somebody says he has until Tuesday to decide?

11/4/2007 8:00:19 PM

he's already decided


that this thread is bullshit

11/4/2007 8:02:40 PM

^ oh i'm sure but it is fun to speculate

11/7/2007 3:33:27 PM

i don't see shit

11/7/2007 3:40:11 PM

They won't announce shit even if a deal is done until after our game this weekend at least. It'll most likely be like the Chuck deal (he was gone before that ECU game and we all know it)

11/7/2007 3:57:10 PM

11/7/2007 4:39:40 PM

you people

are stupid

11/7/2007 4:42:04 PM

Herbstreet says Davis is just husslin UNC for more $$

11/7/2007 11:54:01 PM

Most of the time when you hear coach's names announced as candidates for jobs at this point in the year, the rumors are floated by coach's agents looking to get their guy leverage for contract negotiation. We all know there are exceptions.

11/8/2007 2:20:34 AM

this is fuckin great.

Even the UNC peeps are starting to trickle out information about Butch hustling them:

Anyone taking "Bon Voyage, Butch" or "I'd take the Arkansas job, too" signs to the game Saturday?

11/9/2007 3:50:32 PM

that article is a pain in the ass to read

good info though

Anyone got an IC account to get the rumor mill rolling over there? Our packpride site is BLAZING about this!


so


so


great

11/9/2007 4:16:35 PM

It really couldn't have come at a better time... the night before the BIG GAME.

Any sooner and there would have been time for the sheep fuckers to become accustomed to the bad news and any later and not enough would have read it before tomorrow.


It's almost as if Bob Lee Swagger has switched sides.


SOMEONE NEEDS TO SOMEHOW GET THAT ARTICLE TO THE UNC PLAYERS TONIGHT TO DESTROY THEIR MOTIVATION.

[Edited on November 9, 2007 at 4:37 PM. Reason : die please UNC]

"In the interest of full disclosure, I am an Arkansas guy, too."

11/13/2007 12:27:53 PM

i found this to be somewhat interesting

Quote :

"Then there’s current Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones, another big-time alum and former Razorback player who is quietly involved with the football program. Hey, didn’t he hire Davis once before? Yep, as an assistant with the Dallas Cowboys from 1989 to ’94. And there’s some discussion that Jones would hire current Arkansas head coach Houston Nutt to be on the Cowboys staff next year. Kind of a sympathy hire, tit for tat. Keep all the Hogs happy. And my guy in Fayetteville suggests that the university would be willing to open its rather deep pockets to get Davis on campus. At the very least, that gives Davis room to renegotiate his current deal. That’s why coaches love all this talk, even if they won’t admit it"

11/13/2007 12:35:50 PM

now if only something disastrous would happen to their basketball program

ahhh this week makes me smile

"Chapel Hill people tell me that Davis could use as an excuse to leave, that the school isn’t really serious about building the football program. Plans to close off the open end of Kenan Stadium and expand capacity to 80,000 aren’t moving fast enough, if at all. Davis was promised they would."

DAMN!!!! That'd be a lot of empty aluminum.
