Bye bye Butch - Purdue bound (message board rumor)

LWSVOL, appreciate all the info. If they appear to be locked onto Blackburn what is the delay in hiring?

I believe the delay is the fact that the new chancellor has been voted on and officially approved. That takes place December 15th I believe.
 
protocol. Chancellor has to be approved by the BOT on the 15th. should move soon after that IMO

So you don't think she will go through an official interview process will all the candidates that apply and will just rubber stamp a suggestion? If that is the case, then she wasn't the right hire.

I really don't care who is hired for AD - just want someone who is able to do the job the right way and doesn't let the whims of the fans/boosters drive them to bad decisions.

But I do have a problem if someone rubber stamps a hire when it is their job to interview and hire the best candidate.

Where do you get that she hasn't been through the full interview process?

The BOT is just the final sign off, correct?
 
Basilio tweeting "Dennis Dodd says there are rumors in the coaching community about CBJ in talks with Purdue"...

Dodd said that on Nashville radio this morning.

Edit. I heard the comment. He didn't imply that they were still going on.

I don't know what she is allowed or not allowed to do until she is officially in the new job.

My comments are geared toward the thought that she should rubber stamp whomever folks want.

Given the "folks" that are suggesting it, yes.

Don't believe anything until the University releases a statement. Until then Botch is the Head Coach at Tennessee

You can believe whatever you want.

You don't need a released statement from UT for a coach to be talking to another school about a job.

Interesting how this story keeps its legs. Not saying true one way or the other but reputable national sources reporting it puts another "brick" in the wall.
 
Do I believe Purdue wants him? Maybe. He spurned four years ago, but now that IU is going to be searching for a coach...definitely, maybe. However, I can't believe his ego would let him take the Purdue job...just his agent angling for a raise. Which is dumb since there is no AD to give him one.

The fact that Butch Jones hasn't publicly squashed all of this mess speaks volumes. Question marks around a head coach's future do NOT help recruiting. The man is job searching or trying to leverage an extension. Or both. Completely selfish.

He's busy printing charts and making bricks for 2017. Also watching Carrot Top for new material.
