I don't consider myself anything close to an insider and basically just know a handful of people close to the program.
I don't have enough information right now to really give a meaningful opinion on the coaching search alternatives.
So.... click-bait?
1. If you've been around the boards, you know I don't usually pass along info. I'm not privy to **** D$ and some others have access to. At least not as consistently, anyway.
2. I figured passing along what I was told (and how that's a break from the past) was going to incite, as it has already, comments about Butch vs. Herman vs. Stoops vs. other alternatives. The point was this thread wasn't about advocating for Butch to be hired or about making any comments on other coaching alternatives. Instead, just about passing along the info that, for those of us who didn't previously expect this to be a real option, things apparently have changed.
