Need to "Michigan-Proof" CBJ (Butch Jones and Michigan merged)

[butchna]

I'm sure we'll see him publicly "turn down" Florida next.

If this report is true I don't see your "public" point...I know you're reflexively snarky, but sometimes you need to let the game come to you. :no:

You think the report is made up?

 

[butchna]

He's alleging that Butch is grandstanding.

I still can see les miles going to michigan.

 

[salutethehill]

hearing that salutethehill also turned down the Michigan job. Link coming.

In that article Michigan people think Les will use Michigan to get a raise

Yes, because nothing says carefully orchestrated positive PR like a one sentence mention in a FootballScoop.com article!

 

[gobraves101035]

AND THE NEW COACH FOR THE MICHIGAN WOLVERINES IS... (drumroll please) PHILLIP FULMER!!!!!!!!

I just thought I remembered him having some Michigan interest the last time it opened up. I could be wrong. It would definitely be interesting to see that.

In 2007 there was a rumor that he was taking the Michigan job during the week leading up to the UT/LSU SEC Championship game. He got so upset about it that he held a fire-breathing press conference before the game, and the Tigers came out inspired and put Tennessee away.

Yep. Like Bruce Pearl did with the Memphis job after Calipari went to UK.

Did he utilize Clay Travis and Twitter? :crazy:

I'm just happy to see a public report that Butch has declined. Allows us to not worry about it. I hope Florida finds a way to correct past mistakes and hire Ron Zook back.

Ahhh! Thanks for clearing that up. Who knows you Michigan Will get. Kiffen and dooley are always open for HC jobs to mess up.

Even if we win our bowl game, Butch will still be 12-13 at UT, with only four conference wins in two years. And he's Top 10 in salary. We don't have to worry about the Cincy Six going anywhere this year.

Butch is a great recruiter, but he hasn’t shown he can win in the Power 5. He has followed Brian Kelly twice after Kelly did the heavy lifting in rebuilding two lower-tier programs. So Butch has to prove he can win big games in a big boy conference before he starts fielding serious offers. Hopefully, it will be worth worrying about next year, because that means we'll be winning meaningful games in a return to relevancy.

LSU will fall back to early 90s suckitude if Les Miles goes to Michigan.

If i were Michigan i would say what the hell and call John Gruden.

...and that would be epic. Now if we can find a way to get rid of Satan in bama we're in business.

I think you're remembering it wrong. LSU didn't come out playing inspired football in that game. They were big favorites and they actually struggled alot, only scoring 6 points in the first half. It wasn't until the end of the game when they finally pulled ahead, outscoring us 8-0 in the 4th quarter for a 21-14 victory.

 

[rocketskates]

Butch isn't leaving. And the fact that a big name school reached out to him and he said no only gives credibility to Butch and Tennessee. It's actually a step in the right direction for our program.

Well, I would like CBJ to reach out to Phil as a consultant for our:lolabove: trench fighters:lolabove:

UT's program would have fallen to the 5th level of hell had Butch gotten the interview and was hired by UM. It's awesome news that CBJ is staying.
