Seriously childish thread. I was a defender of Butch when a lot of people wanted him fired - as much as we wanted Golden gone seems like nothing compared to what happened after the '98 Syracuse game. I think some people are a little cautious about Butch because they remember some of the really bad times we had.
I am a Butch supporter now and think he should be hired a week ago! But come on the purpose of these boards is to talk and express opinions. Not to ostracize everybody that has a difference of opinion. I actually enjoy hearing other people's take on thing. Even if I think it is dumb - I want to hear about other coaches - what's good and bad about them. That includes what is good and bad about Butch. I want to know if we don't get Butch who is the other options.
I have been a booster since 1974 - i have seen a lot of good and a lot of bad - I agree with many that this should be a very thoughtful hire! This hire is as important as the Shnellenberger hire was.
