It's a legitimate question. You people with a knee-jerk "no way!" aren't thinking this through. Butters was not fired for performance reasons. He also wasn't headed for 4-win seasons. He would have had 8 win seasons the last two years, most likely. More than enough to keep his job in the eyes of Stricklin.
Yes he was. He was 3-4 and there was MAYBE One additional win to UAB on the schedule- USC. The players had quit by UGA. It was all over and showed on the field.
Naw. He would have won 8 games in 2018....painfully. Then probably got another extension.
Ole quiver lips wasn’t winning 8. He and Strick were looking for a reason to part ways. Worked out perfectly.
All that was already 100% true when Stricklin gave him the extension. What else you got?
Extension or not he got fired. It wasn't like everybody was in love with Butters and the death threats were the only reason he got fired. He was on the hot seat. They were looking for a way out and the death threats just made it economically feasible.
He is a Little Leaguer AD. A real GOAT AD would have given him two raises before the season like Fooley gave Chimp after a 7-6 season.
You are hammered. BUTTERS was the one looking for a way out, not our AD's - that's why he had to fake death threats. Why would he have to go through that charade if he was about to get fired anyway? The fact is, he wasn't on any hot seat and he knew it. He WANTED to be on a hot seat but Foley & Stricklin kept looking the other way. They were actually worse at their jobs than he was.
There was about three of us criticizing Butters and the rest the tools were blaming the QB and preaching about 3 star whispering.
ThreatMatrix was one of those people. He loved himself some Butters, and once claimed he got a "raw deal" at Florida. I think he's still pining for the guy but would never admit it.
It’s obvious that you secretly loved you some Butters. No surprise. Criticizing was just a cover.
Someone’s bitter Kelly didn’t work out. Looked great yesterday allowing USC to set all sorts of offensive records.
Look if you're objective here is to keep people interested and engaged on this board(post count) then Butters is the wrong topic to use.....I for one would be interested to know what your take is on Ohio State looking so good DESPITE Meyer NOT being there anymore?
Shup up edit master b!tch…...You and Ox may have done away with the evidence of the old romantic novels you wrote about the Butters hire but the memory of that hideous avatar will live on for decades….word has it you and Ox got matching tatoo's…..
You've got a good point. It was obvious dumb luck. Meyer has been lucky quite a bit throughout his career. At every stop, in fact.
