Barry Jackson mentioned that big donors are behind Butch. He also mentioned that they will go after a few surprises that seem to be beyond reach. Butch, Mario, and Chud are the names we're hearing but they are not the only names.
Then what is the hold-up. Butch is unemployed. Butch wants the gig. We're aware of him and his experience. He is supposedly backed by "big donors". What is the hold-up?
Come on man, you know even if Butch was the man that they couldnt pull the trigger now.
They would AT LEAST have to get on a phone call with some other candidates so they could say they did their due diligence. Now I will agree with you if we are having this same conversation a month from now and they end up hiring Butch weeks later. The "stall tactic" would be head scratching.
Why?
If all this talk is true (big money, donors, trustees etc.) then what is the hold-up.
Who the *** is this school impressing? Let's remember their tenure...
1. Coker's Final Extension,
2. Hiring RS,
3. RS Extension,
4. Hiring AG, and
5. AG Extension
All bad and illogical. This is a school who passed on Patterson and Mullen. How good is this bullchit due diligence if you don't even use it? What due diligence are they even doing?
My bigger point is perhaps this stuff (rumors, sources etc.) are made up.
