I think it's pretty clear Butch isn't going anywhere. So in 2017, how many games does he have to win to be considered safe? And the other question is, if is successful, does he get hired away and leave us?

More than 8 and the East I think it's East or bust next year

How many games would we need to win to turn you into a posiVol sunshine pumper? Also, would you then leave to follow another team that underachieved so you could return to your Eyeore way of thinking?

 

[dancinoutlaw]

The number of wins is dependent on the losses. If we were 10-1 with only a loss to Alabama, and then lost to a 4-7 Vandy to knock us out of SEC championship game, chance for play-offs, etc. how could the heat not get turned up? That's my biggest issue with this year...stop crapping the bed in games you should win. Especially when the losses can be placed squarely on the shoulders of execution and TO's. Shouldn't be an issue, but it is. FIX IT.

So we're going to pay DeBord $600,000 then hire a high-octane Co-OC like Helfrich for another mil or so? We don't need both. And we certainly don't need to pay DeBord $600K to coach the OL.

I'll believe it when I see it on Hef but in terms of salary it could work. Considering most coordinators get paid in millions for teams wanting to win big. So you take Mahoneys money plus take into consideration the difference in what Debord makes compared to others. I don't see us spending like that though.

Hef is getting paid a buyout so might would come cheaper than usual

I read an article recently that WVU coach turned down an extension prior to the season.

I know that barring an 8+win season this year, he was gone. They nearly fired him last year, now they're sitting at 9-2 with a horrible Baylor this weekend.
I did read that Holgorson just this year finally bought a house in Morgantown.

I don't follow that program much but just the fact that you heard about them playing teams tough makes me wonder what the heck they are doing

You mad that you aren't getting the AD job?

 

[McGeesPub]

West Virginia and Cal are the two that could potentially open up that I would watch.

This we agree on. I could also see Arizona St, Arizona, Texas Tech or UCLA, but those will not likely open up till next year, absent a dramatic sea change.

Butch gone

Houston considering Miles, Kiffin, and Briles per ESPN

He took them from a 1-11 record to 2 straight bowl games in 4 years. Definitely seems surprising to me

Arizona State maybe. Arizona no way. Zero chance they fire Rich Rod to hire Rich Rod lite.

The fact Briles is already being considered for jobs is everything that's wrong with CFB. Dude is a POS and I wouldn't want him anywhere near our program

Ha I wish I was in his position. Full Blackburn supporter here.

And loafs became loaves

After I posted that I immediately thought, "Loaves of bread would be better......nahhhh, I'm not changing it."

Indiana gave him a raise that more than doubled his salary and extended him to 2021 in JANUARY OF THIS YEAR

That's interesting. Kiffin would only be there for 2-3 years, not sure Miles would be a good fit, so Briles might be the best option and could give them 5-7 good years.

Report said their BOT are reviewing options to bring him in.

He doesn't deserve another chance

Whispers that he might have been abusive towards his players. That from Schlabach.

 

[chavisut]

If you're in town for multiple days for some reason, some other personal faves:

Peg Leg Porker
Butchertown Hall
Arnold's
Martin's
Husk
Rolf & Daughters

I could eat at Arnold's everyday.

 

[chavisut]

Racist! You support cultural/culinary misappropriation!

Yep. This doesn't pass the smell test.

Something is definitely up.

Butch won't go there since he punches players.
