this went w/o saying.

11/16/2007 8:36:35 PM

^ yup...

11/16/2007 11:24:25 PM

I hope he stays... he sucks.

11/17/2007 12:59:06 AM

i'm not impressed w/ him at unc... yet.

but the deflation that it'd cause would be off the charts. kindof like the deflation we'd see if tob went to nd =X

11/17/2007 1:05:28 AM

tom obrien isn't going to nd and butch isn't going to ark

11/17/2007 1:34:09 AM

the tob to nd is a joke (albeit i really did read that rumor).

butch to arkansas however, is much more likely. sorry

11/17/2007 1:45:10 AM

possible yes
likely no

11/17/2007 1:51:25 AM

we'll see, sir.

the BOG had to break policy and have a closed door session to allow him to coach(payment) anyways, same with ol Roy...

they are lucky they have graduates on those committees.

its just a matter of days...well 2 weeks till he is gone.

11/17/2007 1:46:25 PM

Nutt and Arkansas:

http://sports.espn.go.com/ncf/news/story?id=3115969

http://sports.espn.go.com/espn/wire?section=ncf&id=3116491

Media rumors get reports that he's confirmed to be gone, Nutt tells them it's not true, and to wait until he's met with the athletic director.

my worry is that Butch goes actually and then UNC gets Paul Johnson from Navy.

He was my first choice all along for us last year, but I am very happy with TOB.

I think Johnson will make one heck of a football coach at a bigger school and I don't want that school to be UNC. Can you imagine what he could do with his offense at a school where the athletes are the same as the other team'
s on a week in and week out basis? scary if you ask me.

11/19/2007 11:57:24 AM

Blue Horseshoe loves Anacott Steel

11/19/2007 12:07:13 PM

^^ well he would almost certainly run a different offense at a school with more talent

but i see your point, he's probably a better in-game coach than butch. however, UNC gets their rocks off on taking in big name recruits rather than on-field success, so PJ night not work out there.

11/19/2007 1:05:12 PM

^I'm not sure PJ is "big name" enough for Carolina to shell out enough cash to steal him from Navy.

11/19/2007 1:07:15 PM

who really gives a crap about butch davis?

11/19/2007 1:23:06 PM

Latest from PP:

Seems Butch did the hand shake deal without consulting his agent. My guy say's things went south today for the Heels on the resigning deal. Butch didn't come home from Atlanta with the team instead went on a"recruiting trip"that included a meeting with his agent. Seems Chief Butch's agent now has LSU,Ark and UNC all in a bidding war for the Chief. My guy say's it's all but a done deal that he is GONE. Paul Johnson on UNC's radar now.

11/19/2007 5:15:55 PM

i didn't want paul johnson as our coach when we were searching, but he does scare me a bit.

11/19/2007 5:21:01 PM

i dont think Jesus himself could save UNC's football program

11/19/2007 5:21:17 PM

Just like all the NCSU coaching rumors, it's all bullshit until the contracts are signed.

11/19/2007 5:21:19 PM

^ if papers are signed, then that would make at least one rumor not bullshit. don't you think?

11/19/2007 5:22:47 PM

You just restated what I said. Thanks?

11/19/2007 5:29:03 PM

no, i didn't.

11/19/2007 5:30:06 PM

Look, all the rumors are bullshit until one of them is actually proven true (and in most cases, none of them are proven true).

What the hell are you talking about "papers signed"

I can't read your mind asshole.

i know its obvious, but carolina fans hate to admit it that carolina football is never going to have a good coach stay long unless he graduated from carolina

11/20/2007 10:34:51 AM

im excited that he may leave

hell, even if he doesnt we still beat them this year

11/21/2007 8:48:21 AM

EWWWNC premium boards say that butch is going to announce a contract extension, with modified buyout clause (duh!) ... so it looks like we dont have to worry about paul johnson coming to ewwnc

11/21/2007 10:56:49 AM

They've been saying the same thing for the past couple of weeks, claiming it to be "all but a done deal" since the beginning. Either way, if he bolts after one year or gets a raise for a shittastic season, it's hilarious.

11/21/2007 11:21:34 AM

UNC is getting calipari'ed like memphis did

and i fucking love it

i can't imagine how they're going to try to justify a bigass pay raise after a 4 win season. "oh its for the future! unc numbar juan!! he's a great recruiter!!!" faaaaaantastic. i wonder what ol roy thinks about this. think he'll float his name out after this season just to get a pay raise?


V haha true, a loss to duke after "a done deal" pay raise agreement would be icing on the cake

11/21/2007 11:35:19 AM

They'll beat Duke. You guys watched the ND game right? Duke looks worse than terrible. I'd love to see App or even Wofford play them this year.

11/21/2007 11:45:33 AM

they are getting worse than Calipari'd ... at least he has a top team

11/21/2007 12:11:15 PM

i hate the comparison to Calipari.

Calipari stayed at Memphis not because of money.

although if Butch's rationale for leaving turns out to be his loyalty to his alma matter, then it might be a more legit comparison.

11/21/2007 12:14:22 PM

aside from being scared of the competition, he did get raises for himself and his staff. It's fairly darn close. I like the comparison.

11/21/2007 3:03:10 PM

I too thought Roy would be upset that Butch was getting a raise after a potential 5 win season, but I think he probably doesn't care, as long as he's making more money than Butch. It's not like Roy is going to leave UNC, so why bother asking for a raise outof the blue, I mean, there is a possibility of Butch leaving UNC now or later, so the raise prevents that in the short term. Roy knows that everyone else knows he's not going anywhere so he won't raise a fuss about Butch until Butch starts making more than he does which I cant see happening. Oh and Roy knows his product in Chapel Hill is much more popular and nothing will change that in the next 20 years, unless UNC football makes about 5-7 BCS bowls in that time frame.

Butch stays another year, gets $300K raise.

11/21/2007 3:39:58 PM

ha, I hope duke takes them to the woodshed. Then he would have made 100k per win this year. doh.

If he won 3 or 4 games in his first season at Miami they would've crowned fired his ass

11/21/2007 3:59:02 PM

Hahaha, wow, a $300k raise after a season like this. They really are desperate.
