The talk of Butch Davis leaving North Carolina after one year for Arkansas remains active. Word is, Davis has two outs in his contract: to coach the Dallas Cowboys and to coach the Arkansas Razorbacks. If that's true, the pull to coach at his alma mater may be enticing. http://www.sportingnews.com/yourturn/viewtopic.php?t=294125 My god, can you imagine: Miles, Saban, Tubby, Davis all in the west. Scary thought. I had no idea he went to ARK...go figure.
As much money as Arkansas has, UNC has some big baller boosters. And they love football, its not just a basketball school. Plus, UNC has everything set in place to win now and Butch is more than adequate in the recruiting department already. UNC will be a serious force for a while and I can't see why he would leave. I think they will be the class of the ACC in five years.
Poor UNC. Always the bridesmaid. Sent Mac Brown to Texas. Now Butch Davis? :shock: Maybe UNC should join the SEC. :grin:
No out clause for Arky... http://blogs.newsobserver.com/accno...kansas_in_davis_contract&more=1&c=1&tb=1&pb=1
When I read Dodd's article last week I looked around to see if I could find the contract between Davis and UNC. Coacheshotseat.com has a copy of just about everyone's and they don't have one for Davis...so I began to suspect Dodd was just blowing smoke. Especially considering he had referenced the same site in a few comments on Solich vs Callahan. Dodd is a Mizzou guy...is there a history between Mizzou and Arkansas I don't know about?
Butch turned the Browns around pretty fast up here and I'm not surprised he has done the same at UNC.
