Butch Davis Has Been Fired by North Carolina
All, College Football July 27th. 2011, 5:44pm
Butch Davis, who somehow survived this long as coach at North Carolina despite a few embarrassing scandals, was fired today by the school.
The timing is absolutely bizarre. Why wait until after ACC media days? Why pull the trigger on this one month before the season? Why wasn’t this done months ago, when you had the opportunity (like after the parking ticket scandal blew up)? Hell, I thought Davis was gone last August after the agent business and the academic infractions were first exposed.
Davis probably thought he was in the clear – it sure looked that way last month when the NCAA report was released – but I guess the Chancellor decided it was time Davis needed to go.

As with all thing Tar Heel, fuck North Carolina.
July 27th, 2011 at 5:49 PM
This makes no sense at all. Unless something even BIGGER is in the works, or they figured out a way to not pay him the rest of his deal.
July 27th, 2011 at 5:51 PM
This guy was JSUT giving interviews on ESPN U on like Monday. Holy fuck.

Winner!
July 27th, 2011 at 5:54 PM
I care not about this story. Just like the ACC.
July 27th, 2011 at 5:54 PM
Bob Stoops?
July 27th, 2011 at 5:54 PM
The school is embarrassed, commits will jump ship, stars will transfer, donations and applications will level off – but sure, there is no tangible punishment when a head coach is removed.
July 27th, 2011 at 5:54 PM
Unless some even BIGGER scandal/infraction is in the works
Wouldn’t be surprised if they found Butch had Lyles’ porn collection.
July 27th, 2011 at 5:55 PM
That’s what I meant. Didn’t mean for it to come off as a “Bob Stoops to ND!” comment.

Did you just say that Stopps to UNC is going to happen? That it is a no-brainer?
Stoops to UNC.

He’s got that Hurricane stank on him, and can’t get it off.

He’s got that “I had the best run of recruiting in the history of college football 10-15 years ago” stank on him, and can’t get it off.

Butch should’ve never left for the short money. Stick with the long money in the future, Butch. Not that anything like what he had going at The U will ever happen for him again but maybe his kid can learn from his mistakes or something
July 27th, 2011 at 6:03 PM
Larry Brown has seen some interest from UNC, per Larry Brown’s agent
July 27th, 2011 at 6:05 PM
That pitch in the ALCS to Pierzynski bounced, Doug Eddings is a hero
July 27th, 2011 at 6:05 PM
I’m surprised they didn’t benefit from about 6 or 7 of them.

Ha! In honor of that shit last night? Is Jose3030 still defending the call?
July 27th, 2011 at 6:07 PM
I looked it up, and she’s right: The Red Sox have never gotten a call in their favor.
July 27th, 2011 at 6:08 PM
You can take Butch out of the U but there’s no taking the U out of Butch.
July 27th, 2011 at 6:11 PM
Because for the last 24 hours and the next 72 hours, the NFL is going to completely dominate football news. This is like a fart in the wind.
July 27th, 2011 at 6:11 PM
Does anyone else feel awesome after they’ve beaten a call center operator? I’ve been an AT&T customer since 2000 and just called to get my Uverse installed in my new apartment (move in next friday). They couldn’t get me in before September 8th so I said, you know what, forget it, Cablevision can install on my move in, cancel the order. Next thing you know I’m on with an account manager whos telling me I can have it installed 3 days after I move in, AND i can get a 10% discount becuase i’m a cell phone customer. Felt good because I sure as shit wasn’t going to get cablevision
/white people problems
July 27th, 2011 at 6:14 PM
I don’t think anyone actually WANTS Cablevision. It’s either you’re A). in an apartment complex that only has cable, or B). you’re surrounded by trees.
July 27th, 2011 at 6:17 PM
Yeah, I grew up on cablevision and still have a bad taste in my mouth from it. Same with Time Warner. I’m all about the FIOS/Uverse now if i can.
July 27th, 2011 at 6:19 PM
Cablevision can suck my dick. The new apartment had FIOS and my life has been so much different since. Just having HBO GO alone makes Fios > Cablevision.
July 27th, 2011 at 6:20 PM
Fuck Comcast in the ass with no lube. Unfortunately I’m stuck because my apartment complex has a retarded rule about needing to be named on my insurance in order to get a dish and AAA won’t do that. I would LOVE to get DirecTV.
July 27th, 2011 at 6:22 PM
You can take Butch out of the U but there’s no taking the U out of Butch.
You mean because of all the academic scandals and NCAA infractions that the U has racked up in the last 16 years? I’ll hang up and listen to you hang on to a narrative that got killed by Butch Davis in Miami
July 27th, 2011 at 6:23 PM
They have cox cable out here but its the same bullshit as Comcast. I just switched to direct TV like 2 months ago. Twas a great day in my life.
July 27th, 2011 at 6:23 PM
MSS
I just mind fucked Comcast the other day threatening to move to U-Verse after my bill jumped about 100 bucks after my deals ran out and all that Xfinity BS got factored in. They ended up dropping my bill going forward 15 bucks less than I had it previously.
/triple play’d
July 27th, 2011 at 6:25 PM
I just signed up for DirecTV. Gets installed on Saturday and I can’t wait.
July 27th, 2011 at 6:26 PM
They’re doing the same with me, someone is supposed to call me tomorrow. For the same price that I would be paying if I didn’t change anything, they’re going to give me the premium package with every fucking channel AND higher speed internet.
But I’m still paying more than I’d like to.
July 27th, 2011 at 6:29 PM
Fixed for football season
July 27th, 2011 at 6:30 PM
Had Dish Network and switched to DirectTV last year. BEST MOVE EVER!
July 27th, 2011 at 6:31 PM
Is Dish Network shitty? Because I’m looking at the price and it’s a lot cheaper than DirecTV for the same channels. I want to ditch DirecTV when my contract is up next month
July 27th, 2011 at 6:32 PM
Isn’t Dish network having a huge battle with Fox. I think I remember a coworker bitching that Dish Network was not carrying Fox Sports anymore so he couldn’t watch the majority of local baseball and basketball games.
July 27th, 2011 at 6:33 PM
They advertise FSW as being available. I thought that whole business got cleared up
July 27th, 2011 at 6:34 PM

I hear Dish doesn’t get AMC, and other basic channels like that. I mean, I at least consider AMC to be basic.
July 27th, 2011 at 6:36 PM
The channel lineup looked pretty much the same to me
July 27th, 2011 at 6:38 PM
That’s how they get you stark.
July 27th, 2011 at 6:39 PM
My grandfather and uncle have nothing but problems with Dish. However they still think it’s better than their local cable company.
July 27th, 2011 at 6:40 PM
UVerse > DirecTV > Dish > Old lady farts > Comcast
July 27th, 2011 at 6:41 PM
What kind of problems, GSG?
July 27th, 2011 at 6:41 PM
I can’t get UVerse in the apparent wasteland of the middle of West Los Angeles
July 27th, 2011 at 6:44 PM
eh just issues with customer service, constantly losing signal, and threats of rate increases.
July 27th, 2011 at 6:47 PM
I’ve never had any problems with the signal from DirecTV but the customer service has been annoying to me. Like “Oh, so after I told you about all of the HD channels we offer and you ordered based on me telling you that, you wanted an HD receiver to be able to actually see the channels in HD? Weird. I’ve gotta charge for the new receiver, though…” That issue took about a month to get ironed out for some reason
July 27th, 2011 at 6:48 PM
i’m amped about Uverse. After having FIOS for 6 months, I couldnt go back to cable. Uverse is so similar to FIOS in terms of channels and whatnot, but I really liked that I could pick my internet speed too. it’s also cheaper than FIOS,
July 27th, 2011 at 6:50 PM
I’m fully on team FIOS. Fuck Comcast.
July 27th, 2011 at 6:51 PM
FIOS is pretty expensive, at least as an internet provider. But AT&T has a bad habit of not actually delivering the speeds they advertise, in my habit (and in the opinion of the court who decided against them in that class-action suit)
July 27th, 2011 at 6:56 PM
Comcast used to have the Dallas cable market. But they traded with Time Warner about 4 years ago. Time Warner gave Houston to Comcast in return.
After the switchover, Time Warner started slowly taking away channels from me. By the time I left my apartment, which faced north and thus could not have a satellite dish according to the rules of the complex, and moved in with my girlfriend last May, I basically had ESPN and ESPN 2, the four major news cable channels, the local channels, MTV, History Channel, TLC, Discovery Channel and then a whole bunch of other religious, spanish, and shopping channels which I never used.
July 27th, 2011 at 7:11 PM
Another year in which the UNC football program is screwed over..Sounds good to me lol
July 27th, 2011 at 7:20 PM
Stark … I got Dish out here in SoCal and for the most part I’m happy with it. The deal with Fox was awhile ago, and I get all the Fox channels now no problem.
July 27th, 2011 at 8:05 PM
Horrible timing for a horrible program. Fuck UNC.
July 28th, 2011 at 10:26 AM
Butch was a lying, cheating piece of shit so he had to go. UNC’s football program will soon be alongside Maryland’s in the ACC cellar.
