Chances Butch Jones heads to ND ?

[volmandu]

Expect ND to fire Brian Kelly soon after USC game. The NCAA scandal along with the likely 4-8 season will do it for him.
Now ND at this point is more likely to look for a coach who can recruit well, win 8-10 games a season and run a clean program. A guy who can run a clean program while improving university image and recruiting well has to be on their list.

What are they odds they come after Butch Jones ? He has had success at UT by turning the program over from a 5-7 to likely 9-3 type. Recruited well. Clean image. Full of cliches and PR stuff.

I think they might come after him. There is a good chance. Butch is no Saban or Meyer but he did turn around our program into Sugar Bowl hopefuls.

We're not that lucky. The Rohan Davey curse is still in effect.

 

[VolsSportsFan]

Zero.

Notre Dame fans would throw a fit.

 

[SDV]

He has followed Brian Kelly after last two coaching stops, right?

 

[LSU-SIU]

I say Lamo to ND, the further I can get that guy away from Baton Rouge while LSU is searching for a coach the better.

 

[BeecherVol]

None

 

[508mikey]

They may go after the Wisconsin coach

 

[KBVol]

Zero chance.

 

[vtvol98]

I wouldn't be surprised to see Les Miles go here. This potential opening could be why Les hasn't inked with Purdue yet.

 

[EZE]

I would be shocked to see Butch at ND, but it depends on how many turn it down in front of him.

 

[volfannbama]

This board is crazy.

 

[esarmstrong]

No ****ing way Notre Dame hates their program enough to do that.

Not everyone in America thinks as poorly of Butch as some of our fans apparently do.

 

[LA Vol]

Zero. They'll try for a bigger name and they're not paying his buyout.

 

[VolsRule]

will UT counter their offer with a lot more money??

Maybe, but you can't tell me ND fans would be happy with Butch Jones.

 

[volfan102455]

ND is going to be looking for a coach to repair the damage off the field. That is going to limit some of who they will look at.

 

[LifeisO&W]

I think it's much more likely that Butch ends up at Purdue.

 

[volfan102455]

That is true but some are too caught up in pointing out every little thing that is wrong while ignoring the good.

 

[LifeisO&W]

will UT counter their offer with a lot more money??

Blackburn wouldn't. Someone else might.

 

[The Artful Dodger]

I think it's much more likely that Butch ends up at Purdue.

How do you figure that?

 

[volfan102455]

And I don't think CBJ is going any where.

 

[volfannbama]

What are the chances another dumb thread is made today?

I got dibbs on 100%.

 

[OrangeByBirth]

I don't think UT can give ND enough $ to convince them.

 

[LifeisO&W]

How do you figure that?

Lower stress job that is willing to pay as much if not more than UT.

I assure you any athletic director at a major program who tries to hire Butch will be fired before he is able to do so.
