Why would Butch leave for Purdue?

He gets a new set of bricks.

No way this happens

Zero pressure at all. Purdue program sucks

Pressure bust pipes or creates diamonds. And Butch is leaking like a Falcons cheerleader over a nick Fitzgerald photograph

New boss coming in. Life title is already in tow. Starting to get a lot of heat from failing to even back into the SEC East title. Lost to Vandy in a year where the schedule was manageable for getting to the SECCG and his recruiting can prolly only go down. If he can't take the heat, I could see him leaving his way for a school where 7 or 8 wins a year will get you a statue (built brick by brick).

The pressure. There are lots of coaches who don't want the grind of a powerful program.

The Bill curry analogy is spot on and good for them. I personally wouldn't want a job the encompassed my life, was talked about every day and had millions of people critiquing my every move.

I don't think we realize what a bitch of a job it is. The money makes it great but nerves are nerves and it has to wear on you after a while.

Besides, you can coach friggin troy now and make a mill and half or better a year. To make any money you used to have to coach big time. I could be wrong but somebody like usf is paying their coach 3 mill or some bullshite?

To get upwind of that smell coming from Tennessee?

He is on the hot seat and will be lucky if he isn't fired in the next 2 years . He gets a fresh start at a program with very little pressure to win.
