Yikes!
What say ye 'bout this?

Not being a hater, but could we hear from some of those whos said this was a done deal?
Curious what happened.

[respirback]

Now that is a source. 

[Tusks]

did he sign it?

[lovemesomedale]

no this cant be those in the know here have said he will be at Arkansas

[ark30inf]

I would say that this is just as I thought all along and that finally we can stop seeing the endless parade of Butch Davis posts.

Right on!!

[Michael Porkleone]

well, guess I can take one picture off the list.

[hog_fan]

no this cant be those in the know here have said he will be at Arkansas

Actually people said he wanted to be here. They also said Jim lindsey was trying to block it. Sounds like he blocked it. Didn't this same thing happen with Billy G and Texas A & M?

[pfrg999]

They agreed in principle... not signed

[prairiehogcompanion]

As Stephen Colbert would say...."Movin' on."

[Michael Porkleone]

kind of.

billy G was employed at aTm and used arkansas to get a better offer before bolting on the 1st train to Lexington.

[ark30inf]

Well, then we are going to regret it because he just signed an extension with UNC and has said he is staying put.  Let the regret begin.

Yes the same thing happened

[navyhog24]

fire jeff long and jim lindsey

[PulledPork]

and I ask again, did he sign it?



Pulled out....

[Winner]

It certainly appears that Butch isn't going anywhere by that article.  But a similar story came out last year that Billy G had agreed in principle with Texas A&M on a new contract and never got around to signing it on his way to Kentucky.

No, BCG NEVER wanted to come here!

[Head Dahn Hog]

This can't shock anyone.  North Carolina had to know that when they hired a coach with BD's track record, schools would come after him every year.  They're trying to protect their investment.

[Busta_Swines]

Davis: "This should put to rest any speculation of where I'll be coaching in the future."


Sounds like he is staying put to me.

[hog_fan]

He has probably agreed to it and the final kinks are getting worked out.

Thanks, Big Jim.

[lovemesomedale]

lol lol lol

[RSteele83]

On ESPN radio it said it was pending until it gets reviewed by the BOT.

[hog_fan]

Like i said earlier many said Jim Lindsey was fighting this. Sounds to me like he won. I fear Leach is about to become our new coach.

[StoernerJonesFan]

I would say that this is just as I thought all along and that finally we can stop seeing the endless parade of Butch Davis posts. 

So...is Butch Davis coming to Arkansas?

(sarcasm)

[Michael Porkleone]

everyone has a source...and it looks like a few were totally bogus.

[ark30inf]

I also think Davis's statement at the bottom of the article is pretty darn clear.  I don't think he is going to make a statement that clear and then back out.....and if he did he would not really be what I expected him to be.

But I guess we will have to go on with the "he might still come" threads until he actually takes the field in baby blue next season :-)

dern

[The Marmot]

On ESPN as well.

[blue]

I have made a lot of deals in principle.

[hogsanity]

I never thought Butch was coming, and it had nothing to do with this year.  He was waiting on this job.  When he took the NC job, i thought it was pretty clear that he either thought, or had been tod, that he would not get this job anytime soon.

[Porkem]

The contract extension is a cleverly designed tactic by UNC to give the impression to other schools that he is saying. 

The board has not approved it and Butch has not signed it. 

Jimmy Sexton is busy trying to negotiate the dork's contract with Baylor and waiting for UNC to close out the season against Duke before the UA deal is done.

[HogsRunWild]

Good I didn't want him

[Busta_Swines]

Only a one year extension? This doesnt seem to strong to me. Including this extension what would we have throw out there to match?

[johnsonswitch]

Hey guys, I know what the "coach speak" sounds like this time of year,
but I've never heard a coach be this definite with their statement.

[PigTimePlayer]

"This should put to rest any speculation of where I'll be coaching in the future"

Why would he say this if he still thought Ark was a possibility?  You could say a lot of nothing without going that far.

[The real Hogules]

There's a difference in offering a contract extension and the coach actually signing on the dotted line.
If you don't believe me just ask an Aggie fan.
I'll wait for this to totally play out before I believe it's over and BD is staying put.

[StoernerJonesFan]

everyone has a source...and it looks like a few were totally bogus.

Only to a few short whitted simple minded post people.
This is Business.   This is fluid.  This is not yet been approved by the UNC board. 
Remember  Nick Saban?

On ESPN as well.

http://sports.espn.go.com/ncf/news/story?id=3122494

ESPN, rivals, CBS Sportsline, and whoever else can write or print anything they want...

Everything changed when we heard:
"I will not coach at Alabama"
"I will not be the head coach at Alabama"
"Im not going to ALabama"

So until it actually happens, nothing is for certain.

[jfb4ever]

                 NO BUTCH, espn

[Mr. Hog]

No big deal, why would we want a good coach to come here anyway ?

[press ham]

we should have offered him big money 2 week ago. PTB BLEW IT!

[Porkem]

It's not over yet.

[redbarn]

It certainly sounds like Davis is staying where he is at but keep in mind that Gillispie had a new contract laying on the table when he left Texas A & M and went to Kentucky.  The fact of the matter is, Davis now knows what North Carolina has offered for him and he will now be able to compare offers from other teams.

[PaleHorse]

at least look at the first couple of topics before posting.

[Gus the head hog]

Now what?

GUS !!!!!! THE SAVIOR! THE ALMIGHTY! LMAO!!!!!!!!!!!

[The Marmot]

For those comparing this to Nick Saban... Saban is now thought of as a liar and a snake.

[jfb4ever]

           ESPN says he stays at NC
