I posted in the NCAA forum.

The only reason they did this, if no other new information was found, was to collect money on the new expansion project at Kenan Stadium and to rake in season ticket money in a tier system they just introduced. They knew that firing him early would have severely cut funding. No way this was a recent decision.

There is absolutely no other plausible explanation for the firing.

And, if true, that has got to be one of the most despicable acts an athletic department and university can possible pull.

Sets the program back a decade.

But, they cheated, so they earned it.

Carolina can realistically have a top 10-20 team consistently. They aren't meant to contend for the BCS but with the name, the $$, the facilities, they should be up there.

But...it's just not meant to be.

so what set the program back the decade, firing a coach that was running a loose ship, or turning a blind eye on how he was running the program?

And it's sad when you cheat and can't even compete for a conference title.

THis sucks on many levels. I genuinely liked Butch and players did too. They played hard for him. I don't think he's the best Xs and Os coach in the world, but I like when the teams I love show heart and effort. Butch Davis teams did that.

Now, having said that, the nonsense that happened is unacceptable. I thought that Butch might get one more year here. But to get rid of him so close to the season is just plain suicide. The board of trustees can kiss my ass in the middle.

Now thats funny:mj07:

Come on now you're being a little harsh aren't we? I mean 9 Major violations and academic fraud usually means a pay raise doesn't it?

Butch Davis has been and always will be the East Coast version of Pete Carroll.

He should have been fired months ago.

Please don't let this affect your golf game. We are already battling sickness and injury.
