Bad news on butch front

If the thought is that we can't hire Butch for whatever reason, than that actually helps us if he goes to the Gators in some ways. It forces us to up our commitment. Part of the hestitancy right now to even consider our options after Golden is the cost of it. They know the next coach has to be a big hire in the 3-4M range per year. One game at time. No chance of Golden being goine with 7 wins, 50/50 at 6-6, 90% at 5-7, and 99% at 4-8. On paper, I'm not sure we can win 2 games. Not an easy game left on the schedule for us.

The ceiling for this team is 6-6. I see a 4-8 or 5-7 season. I just want the season to end ASAP, it is not fun watching this dumpster fire.


If I had to guess, here is how I would put the likelihood of how we end up.
9-3 5%
8-4 10%
7-5 15%
6-6 30%
5-7 25%
4-8 15%

Going to be interesting to see how this shakes out.

Butch to uf is as likely as donofrio winning the broyles award. Spurrier is more likely than butch
 
They will not hire Butch. They make big splash hires with generally young guys and the NCAA stuff attached to Butch is something Florida wont touch.

Worked well for foley with Zook and muschump. Many insiders claim the president was the one that got Meyer the job, not foley. He has a stain on him since growing sentiment is that he is 0-2 on te football coaching hires. Also, I know most make fun of our comments regarding Mullen and his arrogance, but supposedly foley wants nothing to do with him and that he doesn't want him to coAch. They are searching for a new president as well so there might not be someone to force his hand. If it's his call Mullen will not be the coach

Can we start a rumor that they are after Al? Just to give ourselves positive to talk about. I mean, Al did beat them.

Since it's just a guess, I would've taken it to 5 decimal places.

So the young hire that did work out was the president and not the AD? That's false. And Florida's basketball, baseball, and all women sport hires have been young people under Foley that have worked out.
 
Butch to UF, Golden still coach of Canes = me rooting for the end of football as a sport due to concussions. If I can't have my Canes, no one should have football
 
OP is talking about something that happened almodt 15 years ago. No where did he say that they are going to hire him if and when Muschamp is fired.

Butch was definitely a hot commodity back then
 
Gates gonna throw that loot @ Mullen unless Miss St somehow tanks. They can try to get almost anyone & I wouldn't think Butch would even be in their top 5.

Well I live in jax and it's gator country. Every insider, espn etc all credit Machen as the reason for Urban not foley. He and urban knew each other from previous job. U can claim false all u want doesn't matter to me. I never said that they were hiring butch, I have no clue. Just saying that despite people who said Florida would never hire him that he was in consideration. This doesn't mean he will be this time but u never know.
 
Was this thread bumped from a Grassy circa 2004? Completely pointless discussion. You know who was the hottest of coaching hire names that year too? Charlie Weis.

We can love us some Butch allllllllll we want. That doesn't make him coveted by anyone else though. The guy didn't even get consideration from the likes of Kentucky or Arky when they had openings. Even Foley isn't a big enough moron to make another hire that he has to sell to that clown of a fanbase.

He was in consideration 10 years go, UF won't consider him now. Why is it so hard for you to understand that.

I wonder if the OP will consider that 04 Honda Civic he was REALLLLY considering back in the day when his current lease is up? I'm beginning to think so.
