Not surprising he wants to get out of this sinking conference. But he is going to have a real rebuilding job to undertake at Colorado.

At first I was going to say that I just don't get why he would go there, if he had any options at all, since Colorado has literally fallen so far from grace. But then I calculated his contract to be about 4.5 million per year......I'd be headed to Boulder, too, I suppose....:rolleyes:

Cincinnati: The place where coaches stay a couple of years to go onto really high-paying jobs. Tough break for the Bearcats (D'Antonio, Kelly, Jones)...

Beatcats fans still love their athletic programs, regardless. They are confident they will land on their feet in all this shuffling.

Oh, I'm not saying they shouldn't. They have a lot to be proud of. And they've clearly made great coaching decisions over the last decade. It's just unfortunate that they can't hold on to those candidates, because their ceiling is extremely high. Being in Ohio and being successful at football doesn't hurt recruiting one bit, does it?

Can we use their AD to find our next head coach in December 2013? They're three for the last three with D'antonio, Kelly, and Jones hires

Butch Jones can do a lot better. If I were him I would try for Louisville or UNC depending on which schools coach goes to Tennessee. Pitt and NCState could be options if one of their coaches go to Wisconsin.

No deal with anyone has been reached. Still in the active process of hiring our next head coach. We have nothing to confirm at this time.

In other words...

Who cares that's big time football. We're UConn, we don't fire coaches. Besides we've got Paul. . . And Warde! If this happy horsesh~~ of an AD puts us through another season like this year, I want his word he'll walk.

Whether its true or not Butch Jones to Colorado, whether is true or nor Colorado in PAC or back to Big 12, I can't blame him for leaving and would thank him for keeping the NNNBE in the BCS mix during his tenure in Cincinnatti. He represented the school and conference well, and will succeed where ever he anchors his coaching talents. Either conference a great place to top off your resume'.

Bolder, Colorado is in a very picturest part of the country ....... can't beat watching a game with the snow capped Rockies a stone's throw from the end zone. Great place to bring up a family.......absent the Bone' Ramsey trajedy.
