    The fact he didn't throw assistants under the bus, even if they were deserving of it, is one of the most redeeming qualities of this hire for me.

    you think he was ever in danger of actually being fired?

    you obviously don't read the texas message boards. the entire fanbase wanted him gone. not many coaches are willing to let the AD decide who is on their staff.

    Do you like that quality in Butch?

    Yes. Now I question his ability to make hires. But if you're going to hire a head coach as an AD, you either let him bring people he wants, or you hire a better head coach.

    seems to me the texas AD wanted him to quit so he could avoid paying the buyout.

    Or at least didn't care if he did, obviously. Which is fine. Sometimes marriages sour.

    yeah doesn't mean he's terrible or something. hell we got tenn's castoffs at cal.

    I wouldn't call him a castoff. I wanted him. Apparently many of the other fans and more importantly the uppity boosters didn't.

    If he can get a few players, he'll win you some games.

    it's not that dissimilar of a situation. things at both texas and tenn became too toxic for the relationship to continue.

    he's about to land a top 10 player in Rabb and we have an outside shot at the greatest recruiting class in cal history since we are also in with 2 other top 10 players.

    Message boards fire coaches every day. Shockingly, athletic directors generally disregard such sage advice.

    not if it coincides with what the alumni base thinks too.
