I found this breaking news from Fox Sports to be pretty interesting. A contract squabble with the University of North Carolina is keeping Butch Davis from becoming the next head coach at Florida International University, a source told FOXSports.com on Thursday night. The dispute centers on almost $1.8 million that Davis is owed from the […]

Butch Davis interview with WRAL’s Jeff Gravely
Did anyone pay attention to this? I can’t imagine that anything can come of it. First, Gravely works at WRAL. Nothing more has to be said about that. They’ve embarrassed themselves to the point that most people can’t even reference the station without breaking out in laughter. Second, I can’t imagine that UNC’s confidentiality agreement […]
Many UNC-AAS questions remain, including: Are Roy Williams and Butch Davis being unfairly targeted?
The scope of the UNC academic scandal continues to widen as national outlets are finally catching onto the story. Many of these stories are linked in this entry from yesterday. If you missed it, please take a moment to catch up on the recent developments concerning the UNC faculty’s request for an independent investigation given […]
Ruling on Butch Davis’ 216 area code records coming
WTVD’s Mark Armstrong is providing some timely updates on the UNC athletic improprieties and academic fraud cases. This is a link to his twitter account that has updated with the following today: Ruling on release of Butch Davis ‘216’ phone records will occur July 19th Redacted ‘Statement of Fact’ forms, reinstatement requests sent to NCAA […]
The Chief releases video to the masses
Similar to a ‘Communique from Kennel’, The Chief is speaking! We will definitely have more!! In the meantime, we’ve got plenty of fresh stuff on the front page of the blog as well as in our message forums (that have been jumping lately!)
Bob Orr, Colossal Jackass
The UNC football program’s public, clownish implosion has provided us with so much sweet, sweet schadenfruede that it has its own SFN category. Neat, huh? It’s almost to the point that nothing can possibly surprise me anymore. And I only say “almost” because of the surreal idiocy and chutzpah spewed by former NC Supreme Court […]
It’s Friday, but still not over
It’s Friday, and Butch Davis is gone and Dick Baddour on his way out, but unfortunately for the Flagship, this is far from over. Specifically, questions remain regarding those 216 phone records. Joe Ovies: The phone records now appear to be caught in a semantics game. North Carolina technically reviewed Davis’ personal phone records, but […]
Continued Fallout: Baddour Resigns (Updated 3pm)
This chaos clearly still isn’t over for the Flagship. Today, AD Dick Baddour “resigned.” Dick Baddour announced his resignation on Thursday in order for chancellor Holden Thorp to find a new football coach. Thorp said he would interview interim candidates today but would not name a successor for football coach Butch Davis, who was fired […]
Butch Fired: What folks are saying (Thursday 10AM update)
Apparently there are, after all this, a few adults left over at the Flagship. Holden Thorp isn’t one of them. In fairness to him, he very possibly belives this nonsense (ABC11.com): To restore confidence in the University of North Carolina and our football program, it’s time to make a change,” said Thorp in a statement […]
Butch Davis Fired (Confirmed!!!) Did 216 phone calls nail the coffin shut?
NBC report on the rumors. LRM asks: Uh…considering the timing of this (if true), then what on earth changed? To think, if this had been done last summer, the whole thing would’ve largely been forgotton (especially with the issues at Ohio State, Auburn and now Oregon). But now there will undoubtedly be penalties of […]
