I also think it’s very possible we retain Burton because he just won’t get as much elsewhere after his injuries.

Haralson also wouldn’t have come here if we were paying him a fraction of the other big programs. I’m not buying that money is the big issue.
That’s Noie doing his usual “it’s not the coach” crap. It’s pretty easy to rev up the fan base against the administration but I’m not buying a non starter getting a million dollars.

Honestly I don’t even care at this point.

My son said last week: “Dad, it’s too bad we don’t get to watch the Irish in March Madness. Did they ever make it?”

We used to, son. We used to.

It would surprise me if they left Holtman come back. He's a really good guy and a good basketball coach, but rehiring a guy who left you previously might be a tough pill to swallow.
Holtman did great at Butler which is why OSU went after him. When talks started, I thought it was a mistake for him to leave. He was a perfect fit for Butler, but you couldn’t blame him for going to the B1G and a significant pay increase.

I don’t think he will be Butler’s next coach, but I would expect him to get hired before Shrews.

What happens with Burton next year?
Undecided but the trending rumor is two more are leaving with one likely Haralson. Other is a "rotational" player who is being offered 1 million and we're nowhere close. I don't think there's any universe in which Burton is a rotational player so guessing its either Certa or Koehler.

Shrews is apparently staying. If we "only" lose four guys this is a "win" for him. Everyone who stays gets more money since Haralson was making a bundle.

Any chance Braeden Shrewsberry is transferring? To Butler? LOL

So he’ll be back to square one when he arrived at ND. Except this time w/o the hope & promise
