I'm obviously not D Money but I had a really interesting conversation yesterday with someone in my club section. He told me that he is a local coach and seems to know Duke's mom, Artie's family among others. The way he told the story yesterday, the decision to hire Butch has already been made and that the contract details are currently being worked out. Won't be announced until the end of the season or after the bowl game (if applicable). This person told me that Butch is busy building a young energetic staff and that majority of the current coaching staff, other than Ice, will likely not be retained. It also sounded like Butch is going to be the figure head/CEO but the coordinators and coaches will really be running the show which sounds good assuming the right coaches are hired. Just passing this along.
Nothing really new since my last post. They will conduct a full search but Butch has strong support from several key donors.
Posting that Butch Davis is going to be a figure head is something new, and which I actually do NOT believe.
Clearly "figure head" is disinformation.
Is this put out there so that UM Admin & BoTs are preparing the Butch critics for Butch's hire? They aren't that smart.
All in all, even as I'd love to hear any news about Butch impending hire,
this "figure head" post has me doubting the veracity of canesbaby chat.
