Butch Jones being interviewed

For me personally I don't have any qualms about it, long time frequent posters coming here with good intentions of sharing what they heard is fine with me be it wrong or right. Besides who doesn't like gossip or what not...this is just the male form of it lol.

So if it comes true fine and if it doesn't fine. If the intent is just to share what they heard from people they feel are reliable who am I to say shame on you you're wrong. I'm more thanks for sharing I appreciate it and leave it at that whether it comes true or not. I can make my own call on what I think might be happening or not.

BTW as I was saying about leaks to the media in the other thread and using the Cincy AD to USC leaked this morning for a Monday announcement as an example...this Jones thing seems more in line with that than so much detail going on and so many people in on it but somehow it slips by the media and their sources. Schiano may get hired eventually but I always question whether it's a done deal until it's actually done and announced by the school or leaked to the media....I mean even the Cristobal hiring which was leaked to the media didn't happen. I've always thought the week after the season is when an announcement would be made be it Schiano or whomever but I guess we'll see.

I can still hold out a sliver of hope for Littrell, if Norvell and similar are unrealistic. :Wink:
We went through this when Flood supposedly fired. False info. Bad vibe. Not surprised that poster had a premature Ejack on fake news. Trying to put yourself "in the know" is what little people do.
 
Im not sure how Jones would feel about taking a coordinator job at a school like RU after being HC at a big time school... But I am confident then when Schiano is hired, McNulty will be back, as awkward as that will be for Roy Hobbs.
I don't think the two of them have any previous relationship (other than hating UT). If I'm Schiano, I wouldn't let anyone else dictate who my OC is. I think he holds all of the cards, as he should. He needs to be the next RU HC.
 
I have a feeling schiano isn’t even interested. Too many “sources” here with misinformation and really no one from his camp has even confirmed interest or an interview. If this is the first interview I hope there are more of this caliber.
 
That’s right we were definitively told that the contract was signed by GS on or before 10-31
Yup. My source is dead to me. LOL. I never said take it to the bank or anything like that and cautioned about what happened with the Flood firing after the 2013 USF game.
 
”...but one rival Big Ten coach expressed skepticism to NJ Advance Media that he would be able to productively recruit the tri-state area if he were to be hired as Rutgers’ next head coach.”

Uh, why even include this in the article? :Laughing
We need Barry Alvarez and a Big Ten coach to put their stamp of approval like they did for Ash. If Bill Walsh was still alive, they could get his approval too.

None of those approvals are worth anything without Joe Pa telling him not to take the job.

I’m aware of that and the supposed Ash firing last year. Doesn’t change anything for me I still welcome anything anyone wants to share if it’s with good intention. If it comes true it comes true and if it doesn’t it doesn’t.

I like rumors too. But these 2 Internet bullies have gone well beyond the rumor mill. Saying the contract is signed. And "I've heard from people.."
They know nothing more than any of us.

Here are a couple of posts of mine from yesterday, where I said the sources could be wrong, just like when the firing of Flood in 2013 was a done deal:

How do you know that he didn't have a list of candidates? A lot of assumptions being made by a lot of people. Only Hobbs and a couple of people in his inner circle know these things for sure. And the same can be said for everything in this entire thread. But there is a lot of smoke right now, and it seems that there is fire this time. But I always go back to the Flood is getting fired after USF game in 2013 to remind myself that sometimes the smoke is just smoke.

I have no idea. I wouldn't post if I did not think the source was fairly solid. There's always a chance that the source did not have the correct information. However, @Spare130 and others have indicated that it will be announced in the next week or so. As always, circle back to the Flood is fired after the 2013 USF game. Could have bad information, and things could change. We shall see.

I know you did and like I said I don't have any ill will or anger or whatever you want to call it against anyone...that's not me. Like I said if someone is coming with good intention to share info...my response is thanks for sharing regardless of whether it comes true or not.

The only thing I've been saying is just about certain is that Greg is interested and I stand by that. The other thing I had heard from a different source, which I posted about in another thread, is that Jones and Bielema are two other candidates we're very interested in, so Butch being interviewed is not a surprise to me.
 
Has anyone in this thread wondered “when” this interview took place?
I'm assuming today reading the first line of the article

Former Central Michigan, Cincinnati and Tennessee head coach Butch Jones, currently serving as an offensive analyst at Alabama, became the first candidate interviewed for the Scarlet Knights’ vacancy here on Friday, a person with knowledge of the situation told NJ Advance Media
 
From the story:

"Butch Jones, currently serving as an offensive analyst at Alabama, became the first candidate interviewed for the Scarlet Knights’ vacancy here on Friday."

"Jones is the first known candidate to interview for the job."
Hearing differently

Maybe my info is incorrect

I don't have any idea who you are responding to in your post above and don't care. I shared information from a source that seemed very legit. I qualified what I posted and specifically referenced the failed Flood firing in 2013.
However, there is still a chance that the source is not incorrect, but that is unlikely.

It's a friggin' internet message board where rumor and innuendo are what we pay for. Oh wait, this board is free, lol. IMO anyone who does more than some friendly ball-busting if your prediction tanks is acting like a whiny bitch...

I'm going to take a wild ass guess that it is the guy who has been banned multiple times from weather threads because he can't handle a weather forecast. No time for such a bitter and angry person.

the issue is the tone that poster uses when he is questioned about the theory...if you are going to post a conspiracy theory then show your work. Sorry I just dont believe donors are recommending counsel for whiny softball players and then dumping documents to NJ.com to create a scandal to get rid of Hobbs.

I was responding to you cause you responded to my post lol. You were showing your posts qualifying it could be wrong and I was saying that's fine no need to show any of your previous posts I've seen them. I appreciate you and anyone else sharing and that's it.
