Denver Post reporting Butch Jones accepts offer to be Colorado's football coach - Bearhawkeye - 12-05-2012 06:03 PM I guess this deserves it's own thread http://www.denverpost.com/breakingnews/ci_22129810 Quote:Butch Jones accepts offer to be Colorado's football coach RE: Denver Post reporting Butch has accepted offer at Colorad - CliftonAve - 12-05-2012 06:04 PM FootballScoop Staff @footballscoop Source told us that Elway, John Fox and Peyton Manning all reached out to Butch in support. Strong move by Colorado RE: Denver Post reporting Butch has accepted offer at Colorad - lazyeyep22 - 12-05-2012 06:06 PM Next man in.

Pack his crap and tell him to GTFO. RE: Denver Post reporting Butch has accepted offer at Colorad - CliftonAve - 12-05-2012 06:09 PM (12-05-2012 06:06 PM)lazyeyep22 Wrote: Next man in. RE: Denver Post reporting Butch Jones accepts offer to be Colorado's football coach - Kenyon#4 - 12-05-2012 06:11 PM Yup, call Tressel, now. I hope Jones enjoys his money, he just took on a massive rebuilding project that will take 4-5 years at least. The odds of success are pretty low, career suicide if you ask me. RE: Denver Post reporting Butch Jones accepts offer to be Colorado's football coach - #41 - 12-05-2012 06:11 PM It'll sound like sour grapes right now, but I really don't have a lot of respect for the way Jones handled this entire process. You get the sense that this entire process was a very public negotiation ploy. Oh well. Onward. RE: Denver Post reporting Butch Jones accepts offer to be Colorado's football coach - Bearcat_Bounce - 12-05-2012 06:11 PM I really, really hope Tressel has some interest. He would be a home run hire. RE: Denver Post reporting Butch has accepted offer at Colorad - mac6115cd - 12-05-2012 06:12 PM Just saw it in the Enquirer. Sure would be nice if coaches honored their contracts - guess money's the only important thing nowadays. Oh well, he did well here - not as well as BK and I'm sure his tour at CU will be "interesting", i.e. get used to losing. At least, he can still "represent the C". RE: Denver Post reporting Butch Jones accepts offer to be Colorado's football coach - icehole3 - 12-05-2012 06:14 PM what's the feeling around here about Kerry Combs?

Especially because Jones has never had to build a program from scratch. Twice he followed BK and took over programs BK had taken to heights they had never gone before (and Jones I don't think ever quite reached those heights). UC was 32-7 the three years prior to Butch Jones as 23-14 during Jones' three years. I think the future looked bright. Jones was the best recruiter UC has ever had, and I loved the physicality his defense showed by the end of his time here, but I think he is a huge risk for Colorado and Colorado is a huge risk for him. Next coach In.

No thank you. He will send the program back to the Minter era. RE: Denver Post reporting Butch Jones accepts offer to be Colorado's football coach - #41 - 12-05-2012 06:16 PM I think it goes without saying, Whit really needs to hit a grand slam with the next hire. They need a coach that can win, a coach that recruit under challenging circumstances, and someone who can help hold the fans and boosters together until realignment finds UC a home. RE: Denver Post reporting Butch Jones accepts offer to be Colorado's football coach - airjrdan08 - 12-05-2012 06:16 PM Pete Thamel @SIPeteThamel Just reached out to Butch Jones, who said any report of him taking the Colorado job is "absolutely false." comedy RE: Denver Post reporting Butch Jones accepts offer to be Colorado's football coach - Bearhawkeye - 12-05-2012 06:16 PM seem to be quite a few sources now denying it's a done deal.... Just tuned to a Colorado station on line who happened to be interviewing Jim Kelly from UC when they broke in with the Denver Post report which was complete news to Kelly who was very gracious. As they finished up with him the host just broke in with a text exchange with "a high-ranking Colorado official" who said NO when directly asked if Jones has accepted the offer. RE: Denver Post reporting Butch Jones accepts offer to be Colorado's football coach - bearcatmark - 12-05-2012 06:17 PM BTW... a lot of conflicting reports are still out there.

I have no idea what you do for a living or even if you work. But, if someone came to you and offered you a 60% raise, you would take it. Probbaly quicker than Jones did. |
