Whit Babcock, Va. Tech AD, may have interest in Butch.

[SDV]

Lol. He's not going to take a step down like that

 

[daniel3417]

Siegel High School in Murfreesboro also has interest.

 

[Wylo]

Lol. Right. Nobody is running to steal Butch away...

 

[Biopsyman]

Tech is not a top 40 job.

 

[ButchPlz]

Why would Butch take a job that's two full steps behind where he is now?

 

[VolFootballnut]

UH OH!

 

[VolFootballnut]

Why would Butch take a job that's two full steps behind where he is now?

More money? :hi::hi:

 

[Titans4Vols]

An AD being a believer in a coach at another school doesn't mean said coach is interested or that the AD will even bother contacting said coach.

I'm sure he's a believer in Nick Saban and Urban Meyer too, but they aren't going to Va Tech.

LMAO. This guy reported Harbaugh to Oakland up until the day of Michigan's announcement of his hire, please don't take him seriously.

 

[volfanstuckinga]

I hate stupid threads like this

 

[KBVol]

Jones finishes 8-4 and parlays this interest from Babcock into another raise and extension imo.

Tech is not a top 40 job.

Sigh. Why do people make completely false statements like this?

It's nowhere near the top job in the country, sure. But it probably is top 25. They are the 3rd or 4th best program in a Power 5 Conference.

Let's see...5x3 = 15....5x4 = 20...yep, you can make a case that they are top 25.

Simple math.

So if one could make a case that they are top 25, then they are definitely top 40.

Good Gawdamighty

 

[OrangeInKy]

please STAAAHP

 

[Other_Guy]

Not even a lateral move. Sure the ACC isn't as good, but my own personal choice would not be to pour my heart and soul into a team for 3 yearz, be ready to.explode next year aaaaaand leave. Unless you're in love with VT, that's a stupid move.

 

[Volnbeers]

butch will probably get a lifetime $1 billion extension now

 

[ButchPlz]

More money? :hi::hi:

Sorry, but Virginia Tech doesn't have more money than we do.

They JUST built a new facility, same as we did. But the differences in those facilities tell you where Tech stands among major football programs.

lol: here we go...

 

[FranklinVFL]

Yeah. I'm sure VT is all ready to pay that buy out as well.

Didn't that huge buyout go both ways?

 

[TNTUBA]

Then they watched the game film from the following games where we blew 4th quarter leads

UGA - 2013
Vandy - 2013
Florida - 2014
Oklahoma - 2015
Florida - 2015
Alabama 2015

And said...."never mind....we're good"

I sure hope we don't do like we did last year and panic over "Michigan is gonna hire Butch away from us" and extend his contract and give him a raise.

The dude needs to win 10 games in a year and a few vs top 10 teams before people are going to come looking for him

 

[BanditVol]

Reading that, it may be simply that he has said he is impressed with Butch, since, after all we play them next season in what will likely be one of the more highly publicized early season games.

 

[DiderotsGhost]

LOL.

That's the appropriate reaction here. Why do people start dumb rumors about Butch taking lesser jobs? Butch isn't going to Michigan State and he's not going to Virginia Tech. Can't wait for the "is Butch Jones going to take the Memphis job?" rumors once Justin Fuente moves on.

 

[Roustabout]

Gobble, gobble

 

[Volz4lif3]

Hope Butch doesn't use this as Calipari would to try to get more money... He doesn't deserve another extension yet.. Hope we aren't that stupid...

 

[BeecherVol]

Jones finishes 8-4 and parlays this interest from Babcock into another raise and extension imo.

Pretty much. Im sure his name will start "floating" around a lot with all the openings.
