Bye bye Butch - Purdue bound (message board rumor)

So did this whole rumor start from a guy that said he knew a guy who knew a guy? Took a look at a Purdue board and did not see Butch Jones mentioned once. Purdue boards must not have all-knowing insiders like we do.

As a WVU alum (grad school) and somebody who lived in Morgantown WV for several years after I left Knoxville, please don't wish that upon my #2 team. WVU also has a pretty sensible admin and AD I don't see them making an amateur move like hiring Butch.

What? Holgerson isnt amateur. Dude was a Tony Robbins, self help, high school coaching "guru" who did goofy internet clinics.

Whose philosophy is for the dbs to never look for the ball but grab the opposing teams jersey.... fire whoever that is

I see this all the time. You can't turn your head back unless you can keep the WR on your hip or stay in contact with your hands. Otherwise, you look back, the WR breaks off the route and your toast.

We need better DBs, period.

Guess how many times Butch's name was mentioned on VN before the press conference...

Everyone here was like

It was mentioned more than once. First by a VOL fan trying to pawn Butch off on them (they were not enthused) and again in regard to some twiter post from a parody account which they quickly called out as fake.

First thread, they turn into a basketball discussion which is fitting if you are Purdue:

Dana Holgerson was promoted to HC when Bill Stewart unexpectedly died, and WVU has had a change in President and AD since he was hired. He's a Mike Leach diciple and while I don't think he is the next coming of Urban Meyer or Nick Saban, I surely wouldn't trade Holgerson for Butch at this point. He at least knows X's and O's on offense and doesn't rely on cliches to pull the wool over people's eyes.

They make some fire chicken fritters. I can't blame Butch leaving to follow his dream.

They seem to have upgraded their facilitates and Butch should be able to recruit well there.

Hmmm...I wouldn't doubt it. People are pissed and you know the big money people are pissed and that's what causes change. Even people that are on here wanting him to stay knows he's not really the guy they just don't want another coaching change because it sets you back most of the time. If UT will get a rock star hire we might even be good next year.
