Butch’s redshirting dodge and a dubious poll (day 98)
This entry is nowhere near as good as last night’s. I’d like to thank the other members of the SFN author team for adding content and providing research for yesterday’s brilliant and monolithic Burney expose’. The first thing to cover tonight is the topic we left off with last night — UNC’s apparent plan to use redshirt years to […]

Kiper fallout related to the UNC scandals and increasing national scrutiny of Butch (Day 91)
I don’t have a lot of time tonight, but I am going to pass along a few things. First, some quick “dot connecting” that grew out of the big Sports Illustrated piece that hit yesterday.

Yesterday I told you about the Daily Tar Heel’s excellent editorial calling for Butch’s ouster.

Baddour responds to Daily Tarheel calling for Butch’s job(9:02 am)
Updated 9:02 am: I am not sure how many times it has been said about the scandal in Chapel Hill, but you just can’t make this stuff up. You just can’t. TO THE EDITOR: As Director of Athletics, I hired Butch Davis to lead our football program because he was an outstanding coach who shared […]
The Endgame Draws Near For Butch Davis
Butch Davis’s days as UNC football head coach are numbered. Mark it down, it is only a matter of time now before he resigns, or failing that, is dismissed for-cause. Not that it takes an NC State education or a job at NASA to figure that out. Most of us figure out that 2+2=4 when […]
Davis on 620AM: ‘How Should I Know?!’ [3:00P UPDATE]
UPDATE AT BOTTOM OF POST In the work lag due to the impending doom falling from the sky, I got a chance to hear the Butch Davis interview with 620AM’s Sports Talk. Well… I say interview, but that implies one individual is asking questions and someone else is answering. From what I heard, the totality […]
