UC to hire Luke Fickel as Butch Jones replacement.
Ralph, this is a pointless thread. No shock since you started it.
Ken Broo said Butch Jones to UCLA on his radio show this morning. Do you pay attention at all to The world around you?

You know, the grass isn't always greener. Ask BK about that. If he doesn't get to a BCS game soon, he will be fired.

He is in a better position but will not be at ND for a long time. At least I do not believe so. His time there has been filled with controversy and finding ways to lose.
He is a damn good coach. If he doesn't get a better QB he is in trouble. Tommy Rees/Andrew Hendrix is not the answer.
I feel that Butch like Cincy and is in no rush to leave. We will see though.
Butch's "destination" jobs would probably be Penn State, Michigan, maybe Ohio State and Notre Dame. He has all his ties in the Midwest so those would probably be the jobs he'd leave for in a heart beat. These second tier jobs probably just aren't for him, we shall see however.
Per source in Ohio State athletic department UC is being proactive and called Ohio State asking permission to talk to Luke Fickell should Butch take Illinois job.
