Just heard it on 680 The Fan in Atlanta. They are saying Joe Schad is the source. I'm mobile, mods please move if appropriate.

The same reasoning is still in place. Dooley wanted to guarantee a bowl bid.

We looked stupid last year when Hammy pulled out. That has passed SGM. Funny that your boy Kiffin was a better choice than Davis. Davis would have made us look more stupid than kiffin.

Butch Davis on his way out at UNC?

On Monday, Lil’ Big Ben laid out the case for Butch Davis to be held responsible for the twin scandals that have plagued the North Carolina football program for over a year.

Two days later, those chickens could be coming home to roost.

According to Scout.com‘s InsideCarolina.com, a UNC official was contacted by the website and asked to confirm or deny rumors that Davis has been fired as the Tar Heels head coach. The answer was ominous to say the least.

“The chancellor met with the Board of Trustees to discuss the future of the football program today.”

Uh. Oh. Maybe.

We’ve reached out to a pair of university officials in an effort to gain any additional insight — or a confirmation/denial — but have yet to receive a response. We have been told over the last 15 minutes or so that the speculation from those connected to the program that Davis has indeed been fired or will be asked to step down; it’s important to stress that that’s not been confirmed by us or anyone else at this time.

Obviously, we’ll have more on this hot-seat situation, if there even is one, as it develops…

UPDATED 5:32 p.m. ET: Two current Tar Heels players have informed CFT that members of the football program were told today that Davis is no longer UNC’s head football coach. The players were unclear whether Davis was officially fired or if he resigned (in all likelihood, it would be a forced resignation fed to the public as the right move for the team and the university). An email sent to UNC Deputy Director, Director of Football Communications Kevin Best seeking confirmation of what the players have stated has yet to receive a response.

Has to make you wonder what else the NCAA found. Because if this is entirely based on information we already knew, this is the worst possible time to fire him.

What do you think Brandon Willis is thinking? The man just can't find a coach who is going to stick around.

True, but in college football there really is no good time to replace a head coach.
